Bøger af R. T. Kendall

Bestselling author and well-known preacher, R.T. Kendall, unfolds the meaning of persistent faith. Starting with the story of Enoch, Dr. Kendall explores biblical teachings that call believers to "find out what pleases the Lord" (Ephesians 5:10).

R.T. Kendall has given us a treasure...the hope and possibility of experiencing incredible freedom and peace that can only come when we walk in total forgiveness. One of the core messages of the gospel is that of total forgiveness...not only that we can be totally forgiven by God, but also that we must, in turn, totally forgive others. Our culture is bound up in bitterness, resentment, and wallowing in wounds inflicted upon us by others, wounds that we all too easily accept and even cling to! This revised and updated best seller lovingly challenges believers to look within and root out those hidden and hardened places where subtle resentments and areas of un-forgiveness have been allowed to remain.

To this groundbreaking work, originally published by the Oxford University Press in the 1980s, the author has added a new preface and two appendices, one of which consists of extracts from Calvin's Commentaries. The author demonstrates that the English ""Puritans"", who he calls ""experimental predestinarians"", were followers of John Calvin's successor in Geneva, Theodore Beza, and not of Calvin himself. R. T. Kendall maintains that what became known as English Calvinism was largely the thought of Beza, not Calvin. His book is an important clarification of Calvin's position in relation to those who have been regarded as his followers.""An epoch-making book!""--Christianity Today""I recommend Calvin and English Calvinism far and wide. It opened my eyes to who Calvin really was. I learned Calvin was not a Calvinist!""--Luis Palau""Dr. Kendall's exciting study . . . is a major step forward in the reappraisal of Puritanism . . . no student in the Puritan field can excuse himself from reckoning with this important contribution.""--J. I. Packer""This is an important work of impressive scholarship which makes a considerable contribution to the history of ideas in England as well as to Reformed theology. In it Dr. Kendall penetrates through distorting layers of rigid Calvinism to reveal the authentic Calvin.""--T. F. Torrance""An erudite and distinguished contribution.""--Church Times""A breakthrough for those who reject particular redemption yet hold to the doctrines of grace. Read it and reap!""--O. S. HawkinsBorn in Ashland, Kentucky, R. T. Kendall became the Minister of Westminster Chapel, London in 1977 after gaining a DPhil at Oxford University. Currently he is President of R. T. Ministries.

Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets. R.T. Kendall shares personal experiences with the prophetic movement, the good and the bad, and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of church leaders.

Proven Formula for a Balanced, Effective Christian LifeToo often churches emphasize the Bible without welcoming the work of the Holy Spirit, who inspired the Bible. Or they focus on seeking manifestations of the Spirit while neglecting sound Bible teaching. The result: a schism in their faith lives in which they cut God--and his power--out of Christianity's equation. How can God draw a lost world to his Son through people who are powerless?With over 170 years of diverse ministry experience among them, respected veteran leaders R. T. Kendall, Charles Carrin, and Jack Taylor restore balance to the Christian walk. They show that when the Word is faithfully preached and the Holy Spirit warmly welcomed, the Lord manifests his power, bringing salvation, miracles, healings, heart understanding, and much more. Only when Christians honor the Word and the Spirit can they lead empowered, fruitful lives.

Free Sample Chapter! Forgive yourself and others! It's the most obvious and fundamental teaching of the New Testament, and yet

In this follow-up to his book "Total Forgiveness," Kendall gives readers the tools they need to put the past behind them, learn how to truly forgive, and move forward with their lives.

The message of Malachi is 'You are loved'. We all have skeletons in the cupboard, and God knows every one of them, yet he still says 'I Love you'. Through the prophet Malachi, however, God doesn't just leave it there he goes on to say HOW he loves us and what we should do in response.The book of Malachi is intensely practical, as befits the last book of the Bible before the New Testament. This was God's last word for almost 500 years and he wanted us to take notice!Malachi has lessons for us on taking God for granted, who we should marry, how we should talk to God, recovering from backsliding, God's character and our future with him. Kendall writes in his characteristic devotional style, one that enables us to meditate on God's word. Each section will therefore help you stand still in front of God and re- assess your relationship with him. Kendall reaches the acme of Biblical explanation.

Twice God says that in King David he had found 'a man after my own heart' (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22). David was one of God's favourites. This was so despite David having sinned so deeply. What is encouraging is that the Lord continued to use David after his time of backsliding. David was a man with deep feelings. He was a poet and musician as well as being Israel's greatest King and one of the greatest ever military leaders. David wrote that 'the Lord confides in those who fear him' (Psalm 25:14). It is a great honour to have someone confide in you - but to think that God would confide in a human being is amazing! David was someone with whom God chose to share his heart. If you wish to know what it is like to be confided in by God - to become a person after God's own heart too - then this book will help you discover what such a relationship is like.

A book full of hope to inspire us to keep going and to finish life well
