Deacon Kevin W. Johnson gives us a successfully laid out strategy in helping us to Give God the Glory! . He shares his personal testimony. He provides us with Scriptural support and, through these pages gives us the opportunity to look within ourselves and realize that God has been truly good to us and we must take the time, everyday of our lives, to give Him the Glory He desires and deserves!

5.0 out of 5 stars Give God The Glory!, October 31, 2001

By 

Maurice M. Gray, Jr. (New Castle, DE United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Give God the Glory! Know God and Do the Will of God Concerning Your Life (Paperback)

I love to read, but I'm more of a fiction reader then a nonfiction reader. Yet and still, Give God The Glory really grabbed my attention from the beginning and held it to the end. Without being preachy, the author gives us good, sound, scriptural advice on how to glorify God in all that we do.

Because of his easy to read style, this book is equally relevant to those of us who are already Christians and to those who have yet to make a decision for Christ. I'm giving this book as a gift to two incarcerated acquaintances who have expressed a desire to know Jesus for themselves, because I believe that no matter what level you're on spiritually, this book will minister to your needs.

I'm looking forward to more books by this author.

By 

Lena Williams - See all my reviews

This review is from: Give God the Glory! Know God and Do the Will of God Concerning Your Life (Paperback)

Deacon Johnson has used his own walk with the Lord and scriptures from the Bible to assist in teaching us how we should Glorify the Lord.
This book can be enjoyed by the seasoned Christian reader as well as the novice. All of the scriptures have been so eloquently broken down in language that we can all understand. "Give God The Glory", will put a fire under you to get out and spread the Word.
The scriptures tell us that we each are given spiritual gifts. This book expounded on those gifts and helps us to identify our spiritual gift or gifts. Also, how we can use them in our everyday life.
References to the scriptures, the men in the Bible and what steps we all need to take to become stronger Christians are all included.
The thought provoking questions provided at the end of the chapter helped to reinforce the learning process.
Pick up a copy of this book and grab your Bible. This book is an excellent study guide to add to your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Called To Be Light In The Workplace Receives 5 Stars from the YOUnity Guild, March 5, 2006

This review is from: Give God the Glory! Called to be Light in the Workplace (Paperback)

As soon as I opened "Give God The Glory! Called To Be Light In The Workplace" by Kevin Wayne Johnson, I knew that this was going to be one of the most inspirational book reads of my life. Kevin Wayne Johnson sums up all of a worker's desires, and wants as one takes on responsibilities in the workplace. However, this book is told with the kind of clarity, spiritualism and focus that will lead readers to carry the book around like a bible in the workplace for all to see.

Kevin Wayne Johnson's book heralds what a modern day worker should aspire to be, from the moment one walks through the workplace door, takes on the role of being a leader for the well being of all, and of course serving God as one's only source of inspiration, hope and guidance who embodies all that is precious and good.

Then and only then, will a worker be able to displace negativity with growth, stamina, will power and the determination to succeed. I was inspired by the cartoon depictions, and powerful quotes in this professional and spiritual book of guidance, such as " I missed more than 9000 shots in my career, I've lost almost 300 games, 26 times, I've been trusted to take the winning shot, and missed. I've failed over and over again in my life, And that is why I succeed," as quoted from the legendary Michael Jordan himself.

The care and authorial symbolism constructed in this treasure is a journey every person on their way to success should take and keep in mind like Attorney Johnny Cochran, Jr. has mentioned as well, "People are successful not because of what they say, but because of what they ask." You will ask many questions as you read Give God The Glory: Called To Be Light In The Workplace, but of yourself and place in society along with God.

There are also, spiritual quotes from the bible and soul-filled messages by Kevin Wayne Johnson himself, who is not only on his way to completing 9 books for The Give God The Glory Series, but helping folks from around the nation to develop a personal relationship with God to find inner peace, success, and the will power to enhance one's life with daily prayer. I am a believer in this man's work, and like T.D. Jakes and others who have taken a leading role to use the written word to influence a nation, I believe that Kevin Wayne Johnson is on his way to being a leader of our time. "Give God The Glory: Called To Be Light In The Workplace" is a powerful message YOU must not miss.
