Jesus swept onto the scene declaring that the Kingdom of God had arrived! He proclaimed that we would experience life at its fullest only when we organize our lives around the Kingdom. E. Stanley Jones suggests that life in any other way is a muddled, maddening, and impossible way to live. Throughout the centuries we have lost the Kingdom as a clearly defined and workable system for order and influence in our daily lives. We have reduced the Kingdom by putting it into narrower molds, a refuge now, a present security, a future hope, anything but the Kingdom as Jesus preached it - God's total answer to man's total need now." Dr. Jones shows us how to claim our spiritual heritage and the abundant life promised us by embracing the Kingdom and Person of Jesus. He suggests how our experience with God and His Kingdom should be taught and shared in the life of the individual, in the life of the church and in the nations of the world.

About the Author
Dr. E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973), author, evangelist, and lecturer, developed his writing style over a period of six decades and across Africa, Asia, Europe and India. His efforts resulted in 28 books published between the 1920's and the 1970's. The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person was originally published in 1973 near the end of Dr. Jones' life. This powerful book proved to be the author's "last word" and "life conclusion" on the timeless truth of God's order, the Kingdom of God and the Person of Jesus.

Stanley Jones's Vision and Legacy,
By
This review is from: The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person (Paperback)
This was Jones's final attempt to sum up the message of his ministry. Jones saw early on that if the Kingdom of God was the central emphasis of Jesus then as an evangelist for Jesus the Kingdom must become his own central emphasis as well. With the Kingdom as his guiding light Jones devoted his ministry to working out the principles of that Kingdom and unashamedly applying them to the world he saw around him. Two earlier books, Is the Kingdom of God Realism? and Christ's Alternative to Communism lay out the foundations of his view in a more clear and radical manner. But this is mainly because of the context in which they were written (the mid-twentieth century) where the ideologies competing for the world's loyalites could be so clearly contrasted (Fascism, Nazism, Communism). The Unshakable Kingdom book comes out of a less conflicted time and loses some of its edge because of that; and yet it remains a good place to start in understanding what Jones was about. The core of his written work will always remain the daily devotionals, which as Howard Snyder once pointed out are really manuals for radical discipleship. Jones was not a theologian and this book is not really a work of theology at all. But there are many theologians who have written about the Kingdom for many years and from many angles and have missed many of the points that Jones makes clear in this book.

This review is from: The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person (Paperback)
E.Stanley Jones maps out very convincing and compelling arguments for the Unshakable Kingdom of God and the Unchanging Person of Jesus Christ. There are no frills about the book. Jones explains the Gospel and the way believers need to live in this world; that is to say, with the mindset of living life for God's kingdom.
