This challenging book pushes us to think more deeply about Gods great overarching purpose for our lives: transformation into the likeness of Christ. As the writers examine this great subject from different perspectives, shafts of light break through like rays reflected in the facets of a diamond, at times piercing in their illumination.
MIKE TRENEER , international president, The Navigators
What a wonderful resource for those seriously interested in personal or community spiritual formation. This diverse team of experts who lived in spiritual community with each other as a preface for writing this book provides a unique and meaningful integration of the practical and theoretical foundation for spiritual formation.
G. CRAIG WILLIFORD , PhD, president, Trinity International University
Christian discipleship in the American church is in crisis. The church is ready for a sober reevaluation. This is why I am thankful for The Kingdom Life. It is not another book on how to do discipleship as a program; rather, it reexamines the theology and practice of discipleship in light of the lordship of Christ and the life we have in His kingdom. In putting forth this project, Alan Andrews has assembled an extraordinary team of thinkers and practitioners to address an extraordinary need for these most critical of times.

I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me.
LUKE 22:29
The kingdom of God was the major theme of Jesus ministry and His favorite description of what God is doing in the world. Jesus often began His parables by saying, The kingdom of God is like... In fact, the word kingdom is used more than 150 times in the New Testament.
As disciples of Jesus, we regularly pray Thy kingdom come and quote Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God ( KJV ) but most people really have no idea what that means. Particularly in democracies, people have a difficult time understanding the full implications of living under the rule and reign of Jesus Christ.
Where is the kingdom of God? Comprehensive theological studies have debated the complexities of this question for centuries, but let me suggest a simplified answer from Scripture: The kingdom of God is wherever Jesus is king! If Jesus is king in your heart, then the kingdom of God is within you (see Luke 17:21). Because Jesus is king in heaven, then the kingdom of God is also in heaven (see Psalm 103:19). While Jesus walked the earth, He used miracles to announce that the kingdom of God was with them (see Luke 11:20), and when the reign of Christ is fully realized on earth, then the kingdom of God is on earth (see Revelation 5:10).
What is the kingdom of God?It is the rule and reign of God! When we pray Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, we are praying a redundant statement. Whenever Gods will is done, the kingdom has come. The two phrases say the same thing. The reason we pray Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10, KJV ) is because Gods will is done perfectly in heaven but imperfectly on earth.
How do I live in the kingdom of God? Thats what this brilliant and practical book is all about. For six years a group of friends have been seeking biblical answers to that question, and this book is the result of all that hard work. It is a book that is desperately needed today.
