I STILL HAVE FIREWOOD
I Still Have Firewood is born from the real journey of
a man who has served — and continues to serve — God
for decades, choosing to remain faithful even in the most
difficult seasons. When Pastor José Carlos Silva declares
that he still has firewood, he is not speaking of human
strength, but of a faith that has withstood time, pain,
and weariness. Firewood represents what remains when
it seems we have already given everything: the hope that
didn’t go out, the calling that endured, and the obedience
that stayed firm.
Throughout these pages, the author shares real
experiences from ministry and life, revealing a profound
truth: starting is important, but remaining is the true
challenge of faith.
This book is not only for leaders and pastors, but
for everyone who carries responsibilities and faces daily
pressures — people who, even when tired, press on stead-
fastly in their purpose before God. More than inspiring,
this work has the power to provoke real change. Each
chapter leads the reader to renew the altar of the heart,
strengthen faith, and rediscover the strength to continue,
even when the fire seems low. It is not about perfection,
but about faithfulness. Not about the absence of struggles,
but about perseverance sustained by the grace of God.
