Nancy Missler’s remarkable book explains precisely what this enigmatic statement by Christ really means. In order to do this, Nancy takes us on a journey that I’m sorry to say all too many Christian leaders don’t want to tell you about: It’s the journey of faith that takes the obedient believer through tribulation to victory by way of that uncomfortable process we call “sanctification.”

     Frankly, the Church of Jesus Christ in America desperately needs to learn the lessons conveyed in The Kingdom, Power and Glory. After all, we live in the Laodicean church age that’s characterized by Emergent Theology that sees Jesus’ death as only an example for us to follow and not as a means to secure salvation of God’s people. Like their first century counterparts, the 21st century church is saying “I have need of nothing” but does not know that its members and leaders are “poor, miserable, blind and naked.” (Rev.3:17)

     The Kingdom, Power and Glory may well be just the prescription needed to cure this tragic spiritual blindness that plagues too much of modern America’s Christian faith.”
