Anointing. While the word has several meanings in the Bible, it always revolves around the idea of the Holy Spirit and His power to change human lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for leader wanting more than giftedness., July 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Anointing: Yesterday, Today, And Tomorrow (Paperback)

The "Anointing" provides a meaningful discussion on that vital component that makes our gifts empowered by God. The biblical illustration that Kendall uses of Saul, Samuel, and David to show yesterday, today's, and tomorrow's anointing is extremely good. The book provides a excellent framework for one to evaluate where they are in reference to what God is doing today. It also provides a platform for churches and denominations to detirmine whether they are in the mainstream of God's will. While the author's emphasis seems to be on the dynamic (charismatic) aspect, he does close the work with an appeal to remain balanced in the Word (rational, dogmatic, intellectual) and Spirit (expressive, experiential, miraculous).

4.0 out of 5 stars Kendall shows the importance of power from God, November 30, 1999

RT Kendall does a good job of showing the importance of the Holy Spirit's work in the life of the believer. He shows clearly the importance of not only being filled with the Spirit but also the importance of those special annointings, outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Non-charismatics will reject this book as a Baptist gone bad but I am of the opinion that Kendall has become a Baptist who has found the truth of the Holy Spirit.

This review is from: The Anointing: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow (Hodder Christian Books) (Paperback)

This was not a quick read. In fact, I had to put the book down frequently after just a few pages to absorb the meaning and content. Nonetheless, R.T. has done a superb job of articulating the faith that I have tried to define for many years. He presents a clear balance between application of the Word and practice of listening to the Spirit. The summary in the final chapter makes reading this book well worth the time investment. He brings together clearly a call to read and live out the Word in faith while listening to the Spirit as in what one of my friends reflects as "post charismatic" christianity. Demonstrating gifts of the Spirit versus bearing fruit in the Spirit is one thought worth pursuing. Walking the talk and reading THE BOOK is what this book is all about. Buy it, read it, post your comments.
