    About this ebook

    ‘A real classic’
    ‘Every Australian believer should read this book’
    ‘Australian Aborigines are the most evangelised people in the world with the least developed Christian growth’ [Ron Williams, Aboriginal pastor and elder]

    God took the outcasts – rejected and despised Australian Aborigines – and transformed whole communities in a few days, first on an island in north Australia, and later across the north, centre, west and east of Australia. This fire of revival transformed health, hygiene, attitude to work and education, and brought true reconciliation and love between families, clans and tribes that had been fighting for many generations.

    Fire in the Outback is the Aborigines’ own stories of what happened. It is a very frank, exciting and balanced presentation that challenges our own lives as it looks at the roots, background and results of a revival that points the way for the future.

    This is the story of real community transformation that produced many of the next generation of indigenous leaders and prepared the way for Australia’s first peoples to take their God-given role in real leadership in one of the most multi-cultural nations on earth.

    Author

    John Blacket

    John Blacket’s ancestors came to Australia from England in the 1840’s. He grew up in Sydney in a family home where Aborigines from all over Australia stayed. He has been a schoolteacher, community worker, Christian minister, author, filmmaker and encourager to Aborigines for over 50 years, and was involved in the Aboriginal revival. Indigenous Christian leaders of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People asked John to help them produce two books telling the stories and insights from their gathering in Australia in 2000, resulting in Chosen by God to Redeem Cultures by John Blacket and Reg Yates, and One Lord: Different Cultures by John Blacket. John has also produced a documentary film from the WCGIP gathering in Israel in 2006, and documentaries on two indigenous revival movements that began in north Queensland and Arnhem Land, called GOD’s Fire: A Pocket of Fire, and GOD’s Firestorm. He has also begun a series of DVDs and YouTube clips, called Khesed’s Campfire Stories, with teaching from the Bible and stories from indigenous life experiences. John lives in Perth, Western Australia, with his wife, June, and they have three daughters, seven grandchildren and one great-grandson. He is director of Khesed Ministries, a cross-cultural organisation building bridges of unity in Australia.
