This is a wonderful collection of the late John Wimber's teachings on a variety of subject of great importance to the church today. Also included are thoughts and memories from those who knew him best. Much thanks is due to Christy Wimber and everyone else involved in making this long awaited book a reality. For those of us who never knew John personally, this book communicates his heart, his beliefs, and his wisdom. What a gift this is to a new generation of young people seeking to experience the reality of the kingdom of God present today.

This review is from: The Way In is the Way On (Paperback)

I've been part of a Vineyard Church since just before I turned 12 years old, which would be about 17 years now. I've seen alot of ups and downs and gone through some good and not so good moments with the church. Throughout that time, though, I've always greatly admired John Wimber, and not just because he preached in hawaiian shirts. The man was just who he was, but he also knew the authority and wisdom God had given him. He never came across to me as someone who valued his own opinion too highly though. With him, it was always about Jesus, and that's what this book is about. If you want to know more about Jesus and how to live for him on a daily basis, I highly recommend not only reading this book, but living out the principles.

This collection of writings by John Wimber explains the theology behind the Vineyard Movement. Yes, it's theology, but it's so plainly put and interesting that I gobbled it up faster than a trash novel. I've never been to a Vineyard church, but am part of a group starting a new church in our community that will be based on a lot of Wimber's ideas and teachings.

One of his goals with the Vineyard Movement was to combine Pentecostal fire (the use of healing and other gifts of the Holy Spirit) with evangelistic community outreach. This is huge, because these things are very real and happening every day in churches. But the purpose of the gifts, Wimber argues, is not to continually fill people who are already believers....we are to take the joy and fire to those who are seeking God. In other words, get it out of the churches and into the world.

I thank God for this collection to use as a road map as our little band of believers grows.
