Josiah's Fire ― Autism Stole His Words, God Gave Him a Voice

Josiah’s Fire is an amazing true story of family, hope, and hearing God’s voice through a speechless boy.

Joe and Tahni Cullen were thrust into a nightmare when their two-year-old son, Josiah, a typical toddler, suddenly lost his ability to speak, play, and socialize. The diagnosis was Autism Spectrum Disorder. Tahni felt like she had been handed a prison sentence. How could a good God have allowed this to happen, and how can Tahni find hope for their future?

In their attempts to see Josiah recover and regain speech, the Cullens underwent huge physical, emotional, and financial struggles. While other kids around him improved, Josiah only got worse.

Five years later, Josiah, who had not been formally taught to read or write, suddenly began to typeon his iPad profound sentences about God, science, history, business, music, strangers, and his heavenly encounters. Josiah’s ongoing visions, revelations, and heavenly visits forced his family out of their comfort zone, predictable theology, and stagnant relationship with God, catapulting them into a mind-blowing adventure with Jesus.

Josiah’s contagious love for God and the Bible, along with his eye-opening visions of biblical proportions, unveil God’s glory and majesty and incite a fresh outpouring of joy and hope.

Follow a trail of truth into Josiah’s mysterious world, and see why his family and friends can no longer stay silent.
