Rediscovering the Kingdom: Ancient Hope for Our 21st Century World by Myles Munroe
This is a book for those who believe. If you do not believe this book is not for you.
From the very beginning of this book you are required to subscribe beyond a reasonable doubt to the Christian belief and worldview if you do not you cannot read this book. This is not problematic to me however because one does not read such a book unless they do in fact subscribe to this very same worldview.
What confused me most in this book was how the author attempted to distinguish between religion and what I believe is the kingdom of God. My problem with this is that it attempts to separate God from the atrocities and division that religion has caused. But that is wrong and irresponsible as religion would not exist without God and therefore the responsibility for the acts done in the name of God through religion definitely rest solely on God and His kingdom. I feel this is a grave shortcoming of the book and author as it shows an inability to examine the beliefs put forth in this book from an unbiased viewpoint.
Other than the above point I believe that Rediscovering the Kingdom is a good book for any Christians as it focuses on what must happen after someone becomes a Christian and talks about the work one must do in the kingdom. A lot of the time Christians focus on getting people through the gates (Gates meaning getting people saved and born again) but neglect to focus on what happens after someone is saved. In this book Myles Monroe talks about what it means to be a Christian to be a part of the kingdom and what exactly that entails. For these reasons I would recommend this book.
In conclusion rediscovering the Kingdom is a good book that lays down a lot of important groundwork for anyone looking to build their faith. I believe I have stated any and all problems I can reasonably include meaning all problems that do not entail my personal views in terms of God and theology as that would mean I would have a problem with the very existence of this book. So my views aside and my aforementioned concerns taken into account Rediscovering the Kingdom is a book I would recommend to a confessing Christian.
