Took me several months to finish this book because not only was I reading it it READ me! I absolutely love how plain Tony Evans makes biblical concepts as it concerns Kingdom living. I’d definitely recommend this book to believers!
The Kingdom Agenda is like a book on "How to live the Bible". Tony Evans has filled this book with Truth, advice, examples, and explanations of what the Bible says about how we are to live rightly. This is a book you will want a hardcopy of, so you can refer to it, and re-read certain chapters. It covers all stages of life, from kids to adults, from parents to grandparents, husbands, and wives. Although Tony now has books available that cover one topic from this book, I am so glad to find all of his advice in one book!
This is the first book that I’ve read by Tony Evans and I think I need to pick up a few more of them. Not to let the book title give away too much, this book is really all about understanding that the kingdom of God stretches much farther than just theology or the church. Ultimately, the focus should be on living a kingdom mindset in every aspect of our lives from relationships to your very own walk with the Lord.
About the Book
Dr. Evans has written a lengthy book to basically explain a very simple concept that we often forget. It’s the idea that “God is operating His universe by His kingdom agenda.” The book is broken down into five parts, the first six chapters defining what God’s kingdom agenda really is and then spends the remaining 24 chapters walking through an indexed and thorough look at the application of this agenda.
The kingdom agenda is God’s blueprint for how all of life is to be lived.”
This book is a welcomed reminder that we as christians tend to form the habit of compartmentalizing our lives in such a way that our view of true Christianity and the kingdom of God begin to diminish. We find ourselves attempting to control all aspects of our lives instead of allowing Christ to control all aspects of our lives.
My Thoughts
Dr. Evans definitely presents a much needed concept that we as christians need to pay attention to in our own life. There are times in this book that I felt could have been summed up in just a few pages that took a while to get through. That said, I would definitely recommend this book to fellow Christians as a source of encouragement for them in their own walk with the Lord.
