R.T. Kendall - Holy Fire: A Balanced, Biblical Look at the Holy Spirits Work in Our Lives

Dr. R. T. Kendall is an amazing theologian, a man with years of experience with whom I am constantly amazed by his balance and integrity. He has authored many life-changing books that teach, yes, but that also nurture the spirit and soul. Holy Fire is no exception. This epic work on the Holy Spirit needs to be read and ruminated by the body of Christ worldwide. Hard hitting and transparent, it will prepare you for the greatest revival ever that is almost upon us.

Here is a book that is written for both the charismatic and the conservative evangelical. It is designed not only to make you hungry for Jesus and the ministry of the Holy Spirit but also to give a balanced theology of the Holy Spirit. In a day when there is a polarization between the excesses of the charismatic movementstrange fireand the pessimistic outlook of those who do not believe God manifests His powerno fire, RTs book Holy Fire will help us to keep our heads straight while increasing a passion for God. He has a proven ministry as a brilliant theologian and a man of the Spirit. This book is a gift to the body of Christ.

The church in our day needs Holy Fire. Religious sentiment will not equip believers for the end-times crisis. RT has very boldly and systematically provided scriptural truth to prepare us for that challenge. This book will help defeat the idea that God withdrew the Holy Spirits power from the church but let the devil and his gang keep theirs.

This man has the amazing ability to address contentious and controversial issues but cause his readers to reevaluate their own opinions in the light of Scripture. R. T. Kendall is dangerous to personal complacency. This is a must-read book. RT and I have been friends for thirty years, and I am well-acquainted with many of his books. But this is one of the most important he has written so far. It is informative, clear, and edifying. I pray it will have a wide circulation. I am sure it will be a blessing to those who read it.

For over a decade R. T. Kendall has been part of our annual Word, Spirit, and Power Conference. The same divine life, spiritual balance, and scriptural integrity demonstrated in those conferences permeate the pages of Holy Fire. Pastors have no greater joy than to hear that their children walk in truth. This book will be an invaluable aid in our discipleship process!

Having come to Christ in a county jail and experiencing the fullness of the Spirit in a Texas state prison, I felt like my experience was complete. Almost forty years later I realize that the journey had just begun, and God has given me some incredible voices to guide me on the way. R. T. Kendall has written numerous and deeply insightful books on the Holy Spirit, and I have read each one with a renewed hunger. I finish every one with a greater thirst for the anointing, the power, and the witness. Having had the distinct privilege of reading this manuscript, I can tell you this book brings fresh eyes to missed truth. I once again was captivated by the precepts, insights, and, in some cases to me, revelations I had not gleaned. I encourage you to read this book with a Bible in one hand, a notebook on the desk, and a spirit that is ready for some new wine.

Theologically sound, gently balanced while scripturally compelling, being clearly laid out for both student and scholar, Holy Fire gets the bride of Christ back on track with some very important things that were present at the start of the church way back in Acts 2. It is perfectly timed for such a time as this. RTs words have what the apostle James calls a gentleness of wisdom to them that can make this book palatable to all denominational readers. Those who question the gifts of the Spirit SHOULD READ Holy Fire. Those who have denominational biases MUST READ Holy Fire. And those who are simply hungry for all that God has for them WILL READ Holy Fire by R. T. Kendall.

As a pastor of a charismatic church, I found RTs book to be insightful, objective, and most of all, balanced. A great book about every believers Friendthe Holy Spirit.

JEFF DOLLAR
Senior pastor, Grace Center
Franklin, Tennessee

My longtime friend R. T. Kendall has attempted to fulfill the advice of Dr. R. T. Williams (the man he was named after) to honor the blood... honor the Holy Spirit by taking seriously the holistic biblical witness. He stands with one foot in the charismatic tradition and one in the Reformed with some overtones of his Wesleyan heritage, seeking to articulate what John Wesley would term a via media.

H. RAY DUNNING
Professor emeritus of theology, Trevecca Nazarene University

In Holy Fire R. T. Kendall brilliantly exposes and corrects a dangerous division that exists in contemporary Christianity. Specific claims to the immediate witness of the Spirit today should neither be uncritically embraced nor automatically dismissed. But RTs main objective is to promote hunger for the genuine Holy Fire who has enlightened and empowered generations of believers from the Book of Acts to today. A challenge both to Reformed cessationists and card-carrying charismatics.

Many are still confused about the Holy Spirit despite half a century of worldwide blessing. RTs book will help us to open our minds to the possibilities and might rescue us from limiting God.

DR. MICHAEL EATON

I love the delightful way RT approaches difficult subjects and is not afraid to speak out cautions against excesses. This is a refreshing book on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord spread its message far and wide. No matter who you are or how long you have walked with Jesus, you will be challenged for more of Him as you read from this reputable, recognizable Reformed theologian whom I am honored to call my friend.

I have waited for years for such a theologically sound book that embraces the present-day encounter of the Holy Spirit. It is a modern-day classic you hold in your hands. R. T. Kendall is a man of unwavering truth and an apostolic teacher with unflinching character. His teachings come from many years of honoring the Word of God, history of the church, and love for historic revival. I am grateful for this treatise. May it be used in our Masters hands to ground many, challenge others, and encourage thousands to hunger for more of the Holy Spirit today.

We live in a strange time when many peoplein the name of Christhave cheapened, abused, diluted, manipulated, fabricated, and sold the Holy Spirit. And gullible audiences have been misled because we lack solid teaching about the nature of the Spirits work. This is why I am so thankful that my friend R. T. Kendall has sounded the alarm and written this important book. At a time when so much of the church is in a backslidden state, we need to be reminded that the Holy Spirit is indeed holyand that He desires to awaken us, purify us, and renew us.
