Biographies are inspirational. They give us a behind-the-scenes look into the life of the author. What they did right, what they did wrong, how they responded to tragedy, etc. This book is raw because Baldur's story is raw.

But, and this is a big but, Baldur had an encounter that massively changed the trajectory of his life from crime, prostitution, and drugs into one of the most dramatic lifestyle changes anyone could hope for.

I'm convinced that my friend, Pastor Baldur Einarsson, possesses unparalleled writing skills in Iceland. Immersing myself in his book has been a true delight, and I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to explore its pages. It has the potential to be a life-changing experience, fostering a stronger faith in Jesus Christ. Baldur's poignant account of his challenging childhood and upbringing in a difficult environment has the power to reshape one's perspective. Rather than succumbing to adversity, he emerged as a resilient and devout man. I take immense pride in calling Pastor Baldur my friend. Thank you, Pastor Baldur, for sharing your story through this impactful book.

Employing over 1,000 employees and serving thousands of customers a day brings new situations and stories every day.

No matter each individual or the unique situation, there almost always involves emotional components such as shame, anger, hurt, rejection, etc. Navigating issues of the heart is first personal before it can be done effectively with others.

Baldur’s journey of his own heart and experiences lead to encounters of God’s truth in love touching each place so deeply and powerfully. While I encourage everyone to read this book for themselves, it will also only increase your capabilities as a leader of others, no matter the sphere of influence you may have.

I have enjoyed the good fortune of reviewing and working on some pretty powerful stories, including the Queen of Katwe. But this one, well, this one is different. It pulls, pushes, tugs, scratches, claws and cuts, but in the end, much like a rugged cross-fit workout, you feel better having endured the exercise.

Baldur and his story are both raw and transparent. You will love him, you will despise him, you will envy him and you will pity him but he and his story will inevitably and inherently challenge you to become the best version of who you are truly meant to be".

I am absolutely thrilled to endorse my friend, Baldur Einarsson's incredible book, Ice and Fire. From the word go, I was completely engaged and captivated by the story’s gripping storyline, raw emotion, and the complex characters brought to life on its pages.

Baldur's writing is so vivid, masterful, and descriptive that I felt like I was living in the moment and experiencing every twist and turn with him - which was truly moving.

Baldur invites you to explore the depths of the human heart and, more than anything, the enduring magical power of the human spirit. For me, this was not just a book; it was an experience that stayed with me long after I turned the final page.
Congratulations on a fantastic book, Baldur!

I found Baldur’s story quite captivating. His telling of it takes you on quite a ride - from a life that began in the depths of heart-breaking darkness, eventually to the freedom that only comes from personally encountering the reality of the living God and the transformation that comes with being ‘born of the Spirit’….. I believe the reader will find themselves inspired to embrace all that God has provided for us.”

An incredible story of overcoming and total surrender to God. In an impactful way, Baldur openly and transparently shares the darkest moments of his life and how God, in His infinite mercy, not only rescues him—who previously was not showing life—but transforms him into a generator of life. In each chapter, you will be sure that it doesn't matter how or where you are, but God is looking at you and calling you closer. You will be moved and impacted by this incredible life story.

"Ice and Fire" by Baldur Einarsson is a gripping and heart-wrenching journey that will leave readers both captivated and profoundly moved. Baldur shares his traumatic story with raw honesty, detailing experiences that seem almost too harrowing to be real. His unflinching narrative reveals the depths of suffering, abuse, and trauma, making it clear that this is not a light read. Although I personally met Baldur many years ago, I had never known the depth of his personal testimony until I read this book, and I'm so glad that I did. As I turned each page, I was on the edge of my seat, wondering if anything good could possibly emerge from such pain. Baldur, however, masterfully weaves a tale of redemption, illustrating the transformative power of faith and the love of Jesus. This is not just a book; it's an experience that invites you to witness the grace and goodness of God in action.
