Ignition Seven is a revolutionary concept for a few reasons: there is nothing out there like it, and it emerged out of a God-inspired moment in the heart of a pastor. Through the creative excellence of the Ignition Seven videos, book, and resources, we can finally tell those who encounter God that they do not have to go home alone. What an incredible tool for student and college ministries pastors, parachurch organizations, churches, and anyone out there who wins people to Christ!

Now more than ever, we need bold leaders willing to invest in our students. John Driver represents more than just another author or youth communicator—he is leading a movement. Anyone in leadership will benefit from John’s book, Letters to the Other John—a disarmingly honest view from inside a youth ministry: success, failure, and everything in between.

It’s great to learn from your mistakes, but even better to learn from the mistakes (and successes) of others. Pastor John Driver is an extraordinary communicator, and opens his vault of experience from over a decade of ministry to students in this new book. Any future or current leader would be encouraged and challenged by it.

As pastors, youth pastors, teachers, leaders, and friends, how many times have we seen it? Someone is transformed by the power of God’s Spirit, totally free for the first time in their life! And then, as they stumble through the first turn, into a total crash and burn, we wonder, “What could have gone wrong”? Could it be that they were left to go it alone during this most critical phase- the first seven days as a new Christian?

What if we could go home with them for those first few days?  This is the concept behind John Driver’s new project, Ignition Seven—a discipleship tool of seven powerful videos and a book— designed to infuse direct Christian leadership and influence into the life of new believers during the first week of their walk with Christ. Ignition Seven is a game changer; one of the most powerful, innovative, must-have, don’t-wait-any-longer, whole-new-way-to-do-ministry tools ever conceived.
