Customer Reviews

Ken Hutcherson is the man!

There is nothing better than hearing Ken Hutcherson preach and the only thing that comes close is reading his books and imagining him saying it. An incredibly gifted communicator with great Biblical insights. You will get more out of this book than any other book written about the church or the book of Acts. A great commentary on Acts and also just an enjoyable read. You've got to read it and then go find him on the internet and listen to one of his sermons. You'll love it.

Spirit-guided, humerous look at what the church could be

"Hutch"'s love of Christ and his straight-talking humor shine through his scripturally based look at the first church described in Acts. I "happened upon" this book in search of why I feel incomplete in my large denominational church, and I have come to discover through Brother Hutch's spirit-guided analysis that several crucial elements are lacking in many churches. If you also feel that there is something missing in your spiritual growth and experience in your church, this book will help you to see what is lacking by looking at God's holy word in an honest light. I highly recommend it to those in any church who are seeking to be part of God's power here on Earth.

A Book to help set the Church Straight!

I read this book, and I found it to be a wonderful piece of literature. One that is designed to help "The Church" come back to the model of the New Testament, to be a Church that is dynamic and Pro-Active; a Church where GOD is at the Helm and where lives are being dramatically changed; a Church where traditionalism, where it does not stay true to the Word of GOD, is shown the door; a Church where Denominationalism is eliminated; where racism is non-existant (and shown to be the human institution it is); in other words, this book guides us through a book (the Book of Acts) in THE Book (The Bible), and shows us that we are not all we could be because we have drifted away from GOD to do our own thing and that we should get back to GOD and line up with HIS Will and do HIS Thing.

This book is a boost for the Church today. God's way or not!

When you look at the bible and what it really says we have to come to the conclusion as with this book that we are not follwing the biblical standard. Tradition, denomination, color, and predujice rule the church today and not God's word and this book lays the facts out. I encourage you to read this book and then be man or women enough to follow it's truth.

Plain talkin', to the heart answers for today's churches.

Ken Hutcherson lives where we walk and talks to the heart of dead churches that sit and wonder why they are ineffective in today's world. I laughed, I cried and I pray to remain faithful to these principles of true ministry for today's people in need. Every pastor should read this book and your pastor would be blessed if you bought him a copy. Once he's read it, the copies ought to flow through the pew's as your church catches the vision of true purpose.I pastor a church that is seeing changes as we grow with these principles. Thanks Ken for a truly great work.
