Petra (1988) - Cates, Schlitt, Lawry, Hartman & Weaver
On Fire! is the eleventh studio release of the Christian Rock band, Petra.
The songs of this album are in the Hard Rock category. The lyrics continue the same subject of spiritual warfare featured in their previous efforts with lots of metaphors making reference to military subtexts ("Mine Field", "Defector")
This is the first album to feature Ronny Cates on bass who will remain with the band until 1995. With his addition to the line-up, the band started their more stable period in terms of line-up. Schlitt, Hartman, Cates, Lawry and Weaver would remain together for seven years and six albums.
