E NDORSEMENTS
Weve known, loved, and honored Peter McHugh and his family for more than two decades now. Throughout that time, weve watched them live out their beliefs in a powerful and deeply practical way, for which we are personally grateful. Its been the joy of our lives to pursue the same ultimate goalsto receive Gods grace, to be wholly transformed by it, and then to serve others so that they too might come to know their true identities as sons and daughters of God. Like Peter, we urge you never to be satisfied with intellectual knowledge of the Gospel, but to be transformed in every way as you live out the priceless inheritance you have received. This book offers many practical lessons for the journey, gathered by a kind and sincere friendmay it bless you greatly!

Peter McHugh has been faithfully serving the Church for decades, and few lead the Body of Christ with such passion and love-driven purpose as he and his wife Lyn do. Its a privilege and a necessity that I recommend Peters new book, Radically Restored to Oneness with God, as its written with a prophetically profound perspective and gives heartfelt insight on what God desires to develop within the Church in this hour.
Whether youre a leader looking for wisdom from a trusted apostolic voice or you are a child of God who is, as Peter so perfectly phrases it, a lifelong learner not a work-hard earner, I highly recommend you get your hands on this book and begin living in the fullness of the great grace that Christ has so abundantly afforded you.

As we endure a time in human history of tremendous division, confusion, and even accusation, we need a message and movement of unification, clarity, and honor. Again and again, I am reminded of the prayer of Jesus for us to be one with Him and with each other. The solution to todays problems is written in this equation. There is no other way to resolve this condition on the earth. This may sound desperate, but we need a global repentance. Radically Restored to Oneness with God is fuel for this movement. I want to highly recommend this book to all of you who want to rally right now and see Heaven saturate the earth!

The title Radically Restored to Oneness with God is an invitation to contemplate implications inherent in the saving work of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is easy for those who have had years of Christian experience, worship, and study to assume that such things are common knowledge for believers, that there is little to be learned from such a contemplation. Although I have lived, preached, and discussed the Gospel for decades, I was repeatedly stunned, overwhelmed, and awestruck by the implications and consequences of the work of Jesus as Peter reveals it in this book. Some readers will be introduced to insights and implications they have never heard before. Some readers will be deeply challenged by observing the miracle of salvation from a perspective previously unseen. Some will be shaken as traditions and views previously perceived as truth are replaced with a salvation infinitely more gracious than tradition has ever allowed. All of us will benefit should we read slowly and deliberately. God has much to do in all of us in leading us into the experience of this radical restoration in Christ.

While reading through the pages of Radically Restored to Oneness with God, I was captivated by the way this book quickly and continuously conveyed the heart, love, and passion of Jesus. I have had the honor of walking in covenant relationship with my friend Peter McHugh for more than a decade, and I can honestly attest that Pete truly lives what he preaches, teaches, and writes in this book. The revelation that flows through these pages is both practical and spiritual, and I was deeply moved by the Kingdom heart that beats through every word. Radically Restored to Oneness with God is a life-giving and life-changing book that is a must read for every Kingdom-hearted ministry leader and believer pursuing what it really means to answer the prayer of Jesus and live a life of relationship and oneness with God.

Peter McHughs work in Radically Restored will put language around truths that we all know would make our world a better place. Your spirit will leap on the inside with a yes and amen. Moving Jesus from a doctrinal point on a what we believe pamphlet to an encounter so meaningful that it would fundamentally form the way we see our whole world is a much needed and I dare say essential exercise for followers of Christ. This book, in scripturally sound and logical fashion, helps the reader move their concept of God from existing object to insisting person. A person who holds the whole thing together and is reconciling it to Himself. This shift changes how we see our faith lived out in the world around us. My prayer is that the cry of this book would become the way the church is known in the world.

The prayer of Jesus in John 17, I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you, is a prayer that continues to resonate generation after generation. Fathers and mothers create family, shape identity, and bring unity. Peter McHugh is one of those fathers to the Body of Christ and is carrying a powerful message that, if received, could change the way we view church and facilitate significant societal transformation.

Radically Restoredthe title alone stirred something inside of me when I read it. Christianity was never meant to be a tame walk but a radical journey of following Jesus. The call God has for you is radical and you will never fully be satisfied until you embrace that call. I will never forget the first time I met Peter McHugh. As we sat that week talking over meals, I was struck by the revelation that God had given him and the purity of his passion to help people move beyond the clutter and chaos of religion and experience an authentic relationship with God where true freedom is found. Radically Restored to Oneness with God is a message so desperately needed in this hour. This is why Jesus camethat we may know God and be restored unto Him. Peter writes with not only revelation and authority but with the heart of a father who invites us to experience the fullness of being restored to God. This book is a radical call and when embraced will change your life.

Falling in love with the God whom Jesus knows can only take place as we receive, become, and release love. Peter is a great friend and more importantly a friend of God. Radically Restored to Oneness with God is a masterpiece that is a must read for anyone who wants to go from glory to glory. Imagine millions of believers radically restored to oneness with God resulting in the greatest harvest the world has ever seen. I say yes to this invitation! What about you?

Peter had me at the chart. I could have turned to my whiteboard immediately and begun to unpack this list of truths so dear to my heart. Our world, church, and people, are, even though they might not be aware, crying out for this. Peter is taking us on the start of a four-book journey of the world demonstrating evidence of the Kingdom of Heaven, through a church focusing on the assignment of expanding the Kingdom and individuals knowing that they are one in Him, being discipled as sons and daughters not so much to be good churchgoing Christians but ambassadors of the Kingdom. I look forward to the full set! I know from personal knowledge of Peter that this book is an expression of who he is because of the church he has built, the people who are in it, and the impact they have on their world. I expect that I will be borrowing his chart as I teach, always referencing the source, of course. You cannot spend time with Peter and not talk about Kingdom issues; this book will therefore be great fuel for your conversations and will adjust your narrative accordingly.
