Review of “Kingdom Encounters: Experiencing More of God When Life Hurts” by Tony Evans

PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

Are Your Trials Actually Opportunities to Behold God?

Many faithful church-goers often feel like something is missing. Perhaps you need more than a daily devotional or small group discussion. Perhaps you feel like you’re just going through the motions. What all Christians need for the spiritual journey is a vibrant, life-changing kingdom encounter.

Dr. Tony Evans identifies kingdom encounters as powerful moments when we connect with God beyond information and through experience. In Kingdom Encounters, Dr. Evans explores how the faithful characters of Scripture encountered God—and were forever changed. As we see in the lives of these characters, these moments often occur in the middle of conflicts and trials when we least expect it. Dr. Evans’ hope for you is that, “you realize that when things are going left, you feel trapped and God seems absent, that you are probably right where God wants you in order to experience a life-altering kingdom encounter.”

 Join Dr. Evans as he explores how these moments can bolster your faith, restore your hope, and make clear to you the face of our almighty God.

My Review: 

What an encouraging and challenging book!  Tony Evans is an excellent communicator.  I loved how he took these familiar accounts from the Bible and shows us spiritual principles that we miss in the lives of these real people who had very real struggles.  While acknowledging that discouragement and depression are real, the author also gives us specific encouragement and steps to take while we are waiting for God to work in our lives.


There were parts of this book that were convicting, but also gave great hope.  I underlined many passages to go back and look at again during times when I’m not sure how God is working in my life. This is great reading especially during this challenging time we find ourselves in with all the many complications we have faced because of the virus.


I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
