Kendall - More of God

This book on getting more of God may be the best and most helpful book of all R. T. Kendalls sixty-plus books. As usual R. T. has taken a subject most people would never give much attention to and made it into a most inviting read. My reasons for believing it may be his best are:

It is intensely practical, dealing with a long list of issues and problems in life and ministry that really need to be addressed.

It is up close and personal! R. T. has dared to show us here his deepest secrets, some Ive never heard him share before.

Forgive the alliteration, but another word fits here: this book is poignant; that is, it causes slight feelings of pain as the author dares to reveal past hurts. At other times it elicits deep regrets over our own past hurts.

To sum it up, I would say, Read his book! It will encourage you, caution you, and challenge you to genuinely want more of God!

Thanks, R. T. Youve done it again!

This book is a passionate cry from the heart of someone who knows that going deeper with God means honoring His Word and hungering for His Spirit. R. T.s teaching is wise and winsome, but above all it has been proved through a lifetimes experience of walking with the Lord.

In this masterful work, More of God, R. T. Kendall reorganizes our spiritual priorities by challenging and encouraging believers to pursue God for who He is and not just for what He can do. This book will take you further and deeper into a living experience with the one and true God.

The Word and the Spirit bring us to the same truth: there is nothing in life that we need more than God, and nothing we need to experience more of more than God. In this Spirit-guided book R. T. Kendall invites us to hunger and thirst for what matters most, for God and His kingdom. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him; let us take Him at His word and always welcome more of what God will do in our lives. It is not sufficient to know about God; God invites us to know Him, to know and enjoy His heart, to live our lives in the light of His presence, to depend on Him.

I think More of God may be my favorite R. T. Kendall book! From the earliest days of my walk with God, I have focused on getting more of God. I wish Id had this book fifty years ago to help me understand that there is a huge difference between receiving more from God and embracing more of God Himself. I encourage you to get alone with this book for a few days and let the Spirit do the same work in you that He has done in me!

CONTENTS

AFTER READING MORE than forty books written by Dr. R. T. Kendall, I think I have found my favorite one. Through his writings Ive learned to forgive, handle trials, pray, worship, walk in my anointing, not grieve the Holy Spirit, live for His praise only and in the light of the final judgment, and so much more. With each book Ive been amazed that the Holy Spirit gave R. T. so much insight.

With this book it becomes clear that so many of the insights in prior books were preparing his readers step by step to come to this placeto receive more of God. R. T. quotes A. W. Tozer as saying that we can have as much of God as we want. My experience has been that it always requires us to let go of the things of lesser value that would hinder us or take His place.

The Holy Spirit is drawing many to pursue God in a fresh way in this season. We long to see a revival in our nation and renewal in the church. Are you experiencing this drawing? Everything in this book is designed to make you hungrier and to show the path to receiving more of Him. God is real and has made Himself available to us!

I HAVE JUST FINISHED reading a most helpful and digestible manuscript of wise words. This book has an easy flow that is beautifully written and carries the reader onward to the next wonderful chapter. The reader senses he or she is being mentored by an experienced one-time pastor and popular traveling speaker.

This book is a compendium of helpful counsel being gently whispered in ones earno condemnation, just encouragement. The book contains frequent references to Scripture and keeps the Lord at the center in each chapter.
