On March 16, 2015, Word on Fire published its first book: “Seeds of the Word: Finding God in the Culture” by Robert Barron.

The collection of essays, which uncovered “inklings of the Gospel” prevalent in popular film, literature, and culture, set the scene for Word on Fire’s sustained success in the publishing world.
