Signs, Wonders, and the Kingdom of God: A Biblical Guide for the Reluctant Skeptic

by Don Williams

Signs Wonders, and the Kingdom of God is a book for anyone who believes in God's supernatural power but who doubts that we can experience that power personally.
This new book presents a fascinating, biblical theology of the Kingdom of God. Williams describes how God works to establish his reign now and in eternity and how we can demonstrate and proclaim, as Jesus did, the supernatural power of his kingdom.
Signs, Wonders, and the Kingdom of God investigates the relationship between supernatural power and the ministry of the church today. As a community of love and faith under the reign of God, we continue Jesus' ministry of power evangelizing the poor, casting out demons, healing the sick, and setting free the captives.

[Philip Brown · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is certainly correct in the gist, which is basically how a consistently applied realised eschatology will necessarily have some implications that look a lot like what the charismatic movement is talking about. It was a little off in some of the details (in my humble opinion), or to be more accurate, at the very least made some assertions that were not proved by the author. In this regard, I think that the book just needed to be a little bit longer, in order to flesh out all those points and consider objections. I really appreciated reading a charismatic author talking seriously about the discipline of biblical theology, thinking in terms of a robust and coherent Christian worldview, and not espousing a wildly over-realised eschatology. This is not the first book to read on this topic, but should be got to at some point. 3.5/5.

Using his life as a background, Don Williams pulls the reader into the journey he took as God broken into his life and expanded his worldview. As such in some ways, this book is more of an autobiography then an 'true' theology book.

Granted, this is one of the true strengths of the book as theology should never be divorced from life. Instead we must walk out what we believe and allow the Lord to shape our lives through the Bible and theology (which, BTW, simply means the ‘study of God’). Don does this beautifully – interweaving his life story with the biblical concepts that helped shape his live and ministry.

“For the Bible, God is King and we are called into his kingdom where he wants to reign directly and dynamically in our lives and extend his reign through us to this hostile, fallen world. Only when we have been established in this biblical worldview both intellectually and experimentally, will be rid of our bias against miracles. In this way we will be prepared for God’s direct actions to break in upon us, even if, at times, we wish they wouldn’t.”

A thorough Biblical theology on why the the power and signs of the Holy Spirit have not ceased.
