Whether you consider yourself a conservative evangelical or a Charismatic/Pentecostal of some kind, R.T. Kendall's opus, Holy Fire, will empower go to the next level in your journey as a well-balanced believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
By the way, balance in the Kingdom is not living in some lukewarm place between boredom and passion. It is not a little bit of Bible-based theology mingled with a little bit of Holy Spirit. Balance is desiring "all of the Word" and "all of the Spirit, as the Word of God and the Spirit of God work together, not independently of each other. Kendall reminds us of this powerful Truth on every page, concluding with Smith Wigglesworth's prophetic statement: "When the Word and Spirit come together, there will be the biggest movement of the Holy Spirit that the nation, and indeed the world, has ever seen."
What I appreciate is that Holy Fire is not another immediate response to Pastor John MacArthur's Strange Fire book and conference (Dr. Michael Brown has superbly tackled this with solid and outstanding integrity in his book Authentic Fire). Rather, Kendall gives us something extraordinary and unusual. He offers a user-friendly apologetic for the Scriptural basis for the present day movement and power of the Holy Spirit. Every piece of information he delivers is Scripturally reinforced.
If you are Charismatic, Kendall is both your ally and encourager. He is also inviting Charismatics/Pentecostals to seriously consider "their ways" and ensure that everything done in the Name of the Holy Spirit represents the Truth of Scripture. If you read any of Kendall's testimony or know anything of his personal history with the Holy Spirit, he is by no means one who plays it safe.
