Rediscovering The Kingdom |
"Myles Munroe has hit on the most important subject in the bible, The Kingdom Of
God. The emphasis has been on everything but the kingdom for far to long. Munroe
has re-focused our attention on the importance of seeking the Kingdom of God.
His unique insight on the subject gives the reader a view of the Gospel that would
otherwise not be seen. Being from the Bahamas, he has lived the part of a
kingdom dweller and knows first hand what it's like. He then correlates this experience
with the life of a believer in Jesus Christ and what comes out is a tremendous
work on 'Kingdom living'. If you're serious about your walk, this is a
'must read". By Charles S. Martin |

This book is basically a fresh and inspirational revelation of well-known truths from God's Word. The author takes key principles from the Bible and expounds upon them in light of the "Gospel of the Kingdom," and effectively pulls together the big picture of God's plan for His creation and His children. The single most important message presented in this work is that we Christians have diffused much of our focus and energy on individual elements of the Gospel, yet have seemingly missed the bigger point--God created a kingdom over which mankind was designed to have dominion and rule according to Divine will, which was to be communicated through an intimate and loving relationship via the Holy Spirit. Of course, the Kingdom was lost to man because of the fall, whereupon man forfeited all dominion and became subservient to the very things over which he had been designed to rule. The Gospel of the Kingdom, then, is the good news that the Kingdom has been restored to man through the redemptive work of Jesus. In Jesus, mankind can be reborn as a child of God, cleansed of sin in order to receive the indwelling Holy Spirit, and then be taught, guided, and empowered to have the dominion necessary to re-take what was lost to the enemy. Ultimately, God's children inherit the kingdom, and Jesus then becomes King of Kings. The content is exciting. The Scriptural interpretation, in my estimation, is sound. The only element I found a bit lacking is the author's organization of the material. The development of content and presentation should have received the attention required to yield the captivating spiritual experience that this message deserves. In all, however, this book is a must-read for twenty-first century Christians; it will light a new fire in each believer and assist the committed Christian in fulfilling his/her calling to be salt and light..
