EXCELLENT BOOK

This is an excellent book, especially if one is interested in experiencing the glory of God as I am. Very enlighening and easy to read! I recommend it to anyone who is in doubt and looking for a faith builder.

In Pursuit of His Glory

I found Dr. Kendall's autobiography an excellent and informative book to read. Especially interesting were the years he spent with Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel in London and the influence that G. Campbell Morgan played on the history of the Chapel throughout the 20th century. Dr. Kendall's honesty about his struggles in ministry and the challenges he faced in trying to lead a very traditional congregation were very helpful. Also helpful was his chapter on sermon preparation and the topics he covered while preaching at the Chapel. I found the chapters on various charismatic leaders to be helpful as well, particularly as one views their involvement and influence on the growth an expansion of the church throughout the world in the late 1980s and throught the 90s. I highly recommend this fine book and the inspiration and challenge it brings.

Education, Edification, Elucidation

This is an inspiring volume! Not quite a biography, but a personal history of 25 years of ministry at one of the world's best known churches, Westminster Chapel. Dr. Kendall's accounts of the changes that God brought to the Chapel during his ministry are sometimes nearly breathtaking. You feel his hurt, and you share his bliss as Dr. Kendall guides the tour of God's sovereign revelation of His glory during those turbulent, yet fulfilling years. We are able to meet such notable personalities as Arthur Blessitt, Billy Graham, Paul Cain and Rodney Howard-Browne. Not to mention the heart-felt and loving description of Dr. Kendall's predecessor and mentor, the larger-than-life Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. We also get a variety of eye-opening theological insights through examining some of the things which Dr. Kendall both taught and learned during those years. I appreciate the simplicity with which he explains what could be very complex theological ideas. A fascinating read. Pastors, theologians and Christians of many backgrounds will come to love Dr. Kendall, even if they have not had the opportunity to read any of his other outstanding books, and even if they happen to disagree with some of his theological conclusions. He is without question a man of God, and a man used mightily of God.
