Sandcastle Kings: Meeting Jesus in a Spiritually Bankrupt World
The world seems to have figured out the formula for manufacturing material success, but when it comes to finding true, lasting happiness, we are as lost as ever. We yearn for more, or less, or something that’s just different from what we have right now. Deep down, we know there must be satisfaction for our longing. We just don’t know where to find it.
In Sandcastle Kings, Rich Wilkerson uses four powerful stories from the seventh chapter of Luke to explain why spiritual fulfillment cannot be found in ourselves, in other people, in material things, or even in religion. By studying the stories of the centurion’s faith, the resurrection of the widow’s son, Jesus’ message about John the Baptist, and the anointing by the woman with the alabaster jar, you will be able to face your doubts and insecurities and overcome your anxiety, discontentment, and depression. Wilkerson wants you to understand that the only answer for your spiritual bankruptcy is Jesus and that until you turn to him you will never experience the lasting peace and joy you so desperately crave.

I’ve been studying the gospel of Matthew this year, but you can’t study just the gospel of Matthew without studying how it compares to the other gospels. So, when I heard that the book Sandcastle Kings: Meeting Jesus in a Spiritually Bankrupt World was a book length treatment of the seventh chapter of Luke, I was interested enough to want to take a peek at it.
In this book, first-time author Rich Wilkerson, Jr, examines four stories from the gospel of Luke to show how our deepest longs will not be met in other people, material things, or even the trappings of religion. Instead, our ultimate desires and the meaning in our life can only be found in Jesus. When we look to him, we’ll find the peace and joy that our hearts crave, and we’ll be able to satisfy the desires of our hearts.
I thought that this was a great, and yet still simple, treatment of this chapter of the Bible. Perhaps my favorite point in the whole book is when Wilkerson is examining the periscope of John the Baptist’s followers coming to him to ask him questions. He quotes from Luke, “Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” (Luke 7:23) Then, he spends some time reminding us not to lose faith when Jesus doesn’t act the way that we expected him to. That’s been a very difficult and hard-fought lesson for me to learn, and I enjoyed seeing the affirmation here.
I also really like the way he sticks with one passage (chapter) of the Bible and builds the theme of his book based on the themes that he sees develop across the chapter. It’s a beautiful and contextual method of building an interpretation of the chapter.

Meeting Jesus is imperfection meets perfection. Brokenness encounters wholeness. Grace results in gratitude.
What are you building your faith on? Will it hold when your world starts to crumble? When those that you count on are no longer there? Wilkerson wit and strong personality comes thru every chapter where he brings the reader to a solid ground. A rock. The rock being the work of Christ.
Taking 4 stories from the bible, Wilkerson directs you to what faith looks like. That faith is trust in action. I appreciated the strong stand on that we are saved by grace and not works. That it is Christ's righteousness that is our righteousness. That God's love is not dependent on our love for him. That it is thankfulness that compels us to change to live for him. Each of these biblical accounts open our hearts to the sandcastle's we build only for them to be destroyed by the waves that crash them down.
I loved his words that the gospel message is in effect a marriage proposal. Wow! How we respond speaks to how we are able to love Him and others! It is a marriage worth fighting for!

DNF. It’s hard to take “meeting Jesus in a spiritually bankrupt world” seriously when the person writing has been raised in church and never stepped out of it.

I’ve had this book in my iBooks app for YEARS and finally got around to read it. Part of me wishes I would’ve read it sooner, but I also believe I read it right when I needed to. God spoke and answered questions that have been on my heart and mind for a while. Thank you Jesus, you’re timing is always perfect! So thankful for this book!
“Jesus makes one of the most perplexing statements in the Bible: “Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me” (Luke 7:23)… The word translated as “blessed” in Luke 7:23 can also be translated as “happy.” So if we maintain our faith in God regardless of how he answers, we will be happy. How? How can we be happy when God doesn’t act like we want him to act? Here is what I think: It is all about perspective. If my focus is solely on what is happening to me, then I’m going to be upset when things don’t go my way. But if my perspective is broader than my little world, and if I’m focused on what God is doing in the big picture, I’m not going to be disappointed… In Gene Edwards’s book, The Prisoner in the Third Cell, he points out that in Luke 7 not everyone who wanted to be healed by Jesus was healed. Edwards writes:
A sick baby will die. An epileptic child will go on having seizures as long as he lives. A fevered young girl will suffer weeks of pain before she regains her health. A deaf mute will spend the rest of his life begging at the city gate. These and many others, with even more tragic stories, departed the village of Nain that morning . . . each so downcast that words could not express their feelings of hopelessness. Worst of all, from God came no explanation concerning His ways. Many were healed. But not all.
And blessed is he who is not offended with me.
Blessed is he who is not offended with me because that person’s perspective is broader than his own little world.”

Rich Wilkerson, Jr., in his book Sandcastle Kings, pulls on those memory strings as he discusses the spiritually bankrupt world that we are living in and the need/desire to meet Jesus. Using four stories from Luke 7 – the centurion’s faith, the resurrection of the widow’s son, Jesus’ message about John the Baptist, and the anointing by the woman with the alabaster jar – guides the reader into taking a closer look at the many ways we build sandcastles that will one day be wiped away by the storms that will come.
Drawing influence from the parade of the wise and foolish builder, Wilkerson told me in an interview, that what he found interesting about this parable, “is that both the wise man and the foolish man have to face the storm. Meaning, we can’t prevent storms, but we can prepare for storms. And the way you prepare for a storm is knowing what you actually built on. What is the foundation of your life.”

Biased opinion considering this was the first Christian book I read. I vainly decided to read this book just because Kim Kardashian tweeted it and Kanye's DONDA team designed the cover. However, as someone who was so deep in the world and desperately just seeking whatever to feel something other than pain, I decided to keep reading this book despite it not being, at all, what I expected it to be.
I can say it honestly tore me to pieces and it just made me to not want to continue to live the life I was living. It was the most I read of any parts of the bible, the most preaching/teaching I have ever heard/read, and I just loved it. This was the book that was a gateway for the softening of my heart and lead me, 2 years later, to joining VOUS church, surrounding my life to Christ, getting baptized and never looking back. This book will always hold a special place in my heart!

i don't have a long profound editorial of how great this book is. But what I can say is if you are at a point in your life where everything seems to be going wrong or are experiencing a season of frustration it definitely can be a tear jerker. I think the most important concept in this book is distinguishing between the difference in believing in God versus you trusting God. Belief is an observation whereas trust requires relationship. This book may just be what you need to get a better understanding of who God is in your life.

Although I didn’t feel like I had any huge revelations reading this book, it was still a good read and a good reminder of some of the fundamental truths that a real walk with Jesus should be based on. If the premise interests you or if you are needing to learn or be refreshed on what it means to really build your life with Jesus as the foundation, this is one worth considering.
Favorite Quote: “If you don’t hear what God is saying, go back to what he has said.”

Pretty average book that seemed disjointed at times. I did not see how all of his personal anecdotes and trials pertained to the main messages of Luke 7 and the overall theme of a bankrupt world.
Also, as a pastor, he elucidates the story of Saul wrong. He states that Saul's "renaming" to Paul is from God just like Abram to Abraham or Jacob to Israel. This is not Biblical although a common misconception. You would think a pastor with such influence would know his scripture better.

I am not a religious Christian, but this book is gold! Sir Wilkerson Jr. continuously remind me how gracious is God and gently put my mind into perspective. I still need a lot to work on in regards on my beliefs as a Christian, but this book has been a great refresh for my wavering faith. Bless everyone who read this book, and especially the author who shared his thoughts & enlightmeng to us readers!

I'm a Rich Wilkerson Jr. fan. Love his preaching and enjoy seeing his ministry grow. However, I struggled to get through this. I will say the last half was the best, and his illustrations were captivating. Not a bad first book, but hard to get into. 10/10 would recommend for a new believer or someone curious about faith.

I would love to rate five stars. There was some truly great biblical principals and truths. And a couple really strong a-ha moments. But I got to be honest and say the end of this book. It’s so repetitive. Multiple times I thought I was re-reading portions I already read. Because it verbatim repeats itself numerous numerous times.
December 22, 2019
Well written to the target audience! It was fantastic getting to feel as though I was listening in to conversations Wilkerson has had with individuals needing each individual chapter. Unfortunately, I've been in similar circles as Wilkerson and the points and illustrations were a fair bit predictable. Hear me clearly: The book is a perfect tool for its chosen audience.
February 5, 2018
3.5 Incredibly slow start which was partially why it took a long time took a long time to get through. However, towards the end, it was very insightful and had a lot of interesting points. Would still recommend.

Awesome book based on scripture
He breaks down the parables into everyday life in today’s terms. The book is very relatable and easy to read. If you are looking for a book that explains who Jesus is this is that book!

Well written, I liked how it took a deep dive into a few stories and how he tied in his own experiences.

This book was more than just an easy read; it was an absolute breeze that effortlessly drew me in with its relatability and accessibility. While I wouldn't classify it as groundbreaking, it holds a special place as a wonderful reminder of the profound love the Lord has for us and the importance of leaning on and depending on Him.
For those seeking a gentle yet impactful reaffirmation of faith and a practical application of biblical teachings to modern life, this book provides a comforting and insightful journey. This book is timeless.
This book might just be great for someone who just started their Christian faith!

I first heard Rich speak at Youth America when I was 14. After reading this book, I love him even more. This book is worth your time.

Timely Read in 2017
This is a timely read for today's culture. We have it all and yet we want more or at least more of something else. The something else may be detrimental to us, but it doesn't kill the draw. Rich helps us fight back and a solid foundation for our life.

Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr., uses the metaphor of his childhood sandcastle building as a lens to look at four people in Luke 7 in his 2016 book Sandcastle Kings. No matter how elaborate a sandcastle he and his brother built, the next tide washed it away. Sandcastles do not last. Wilkerson links the idea of sandcastle building to Jesus' words in Matthew 7 about buildings that rest on rock versus those that rest on sand. Like the castles made of sand, the latter do not survive storms.
Each of the four people in Luke 7 that Wilkerson discusses has rested some dimension of their self-identification in the things of the impermanent world. When they encounter life's storms, whether ordinary or severe, that self-identification comes crashing down. Only by rooting our lives in Jesus himself can we build lives and selves that weather storms.
Kings is written with a breezy and simple style that might not be directly aimed at young people but which will probably be best received by them. Wilkerson also has aimed more at people beginning their relationship with Jesus than those who may be searching for paths of deeper discipleship. Most of what he says is operating in the binary "with Jesus or apart from Jesus" arena. This is perfectly legitimate and doesn't preclude reading Kings for fuel on a disciple's journey, but it does add an extra layer to that task.
The third section -- dealing with John the Baptist's question to Jesus about his Messiahship -- is probably the one that most addresses issues that confront people already in their walk with Jesus. The fourth, expounding on the nameless woman who washes Jesus' feet while he eats at the house of Simon the Pharisee, seems most focused on those who may not have started that walk. The kind of fuzzy focus weakens Sandcastle Kings and might make you wish it had been packed together a little more tightly.

I follow the ministry of Clayton Jennings on social media and he had talked about Sandcastle Kings online and so when I saw this was up for review I decided to check it for myself. Boy, what a book Sandcastle Kings is. It is full of biblical truths and so many quotes I will gladly post on my own social media because they are so good. I did hear Pastor Rich has his own reality show on TV, I'm not really keen on Christians having reality shows so I'll probably never watch his show. I don't know why it kind of rubs me the wrong way and I've seen others and they just end up becoming a hot mess. So if you're like me and will skip his show then I recommend you pick up Sandcastle Kings sometime.

(I RECEIVED AN ARC COPY FROM THE AUTHOR)
Sandcastle Kings takes care of every single detail. It's deeply spiritual and profoundly practical. Rich Wilkerson's voice is very organic and unforced while he breaks down the very core of a healthy relationship with Jesus. Wilkerson incorporates humor and his own real life anecdotes to perfectly draw a picture of how accessible A Life With Jesus is. Nothing about this book is impersonal; it felt natural to read the words on each page and it all flowed easily, so much so, I found myself nodding along!
I almost wish I could have read this while I was just beginning to delve into a more spiritual life, because I know it would have been it's own experience, but even so, it was still a powerful read! Wilkerson takes us to these many different "sandcastles" that we tend to build parts of, if not, all of our life upon, and elaborates. The sandcastles range so widely that I believe that many people will be able to personally connect with, at the very least, one. There's the sandcastle of Self, Other People, The World, and Religion.
One thing I really loved about this book was that I didn't feel like it was catered to any specific audience; I never once thought "oh this is aimed at men, or women, or older folks" it was all very relatable and Human. The book is ageless—timeless even. The concept of sandcastles is always going to be relevant but even more so during this day and age. Everything is being made for instant gratification and people are being conditioned to expect rewards for their loyalty or good works.
