In firefighting lingo, the flashpoint is the temperature at which everything combustible in a room spontaneously bursts into flame. Applying this principle to our lives, flashpoints are those moments when, for better or worse, a single event or idea ignites--and changes our lives forever. If we can capture the energy of our flashpoints to pursue our God-given destiny or dreams, we can change the world for good.

This is a very motivational book. I especially enjoyed the first few chapters about calling. The book built up my faith in God and in His calling to me as an individual to accomplish specific things, especially things that require focus and change. The reading was not heavy, but impacting.
