J. W. Clark

I find it interesting that while in his book, author J.W. Clark wants his readers to think about the kingdom [of our Lord/God], I couldn't find anything related to where this kingdom is located. However, in my journey in trying to be a good Christian woman, I've found the answer in LUKE 17:21 [NKJV]:

"nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."

There are several incidences where the author gives a Scripture citation but doesn't give what it says, as was the case with JOHN 18:37 and JOHN 18:38. Mr. Clark has also left out mentioning JOHN 18:36 entirely, where we're told what Jesus said regarding the location of His kingdom [NKJV]:

Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here."

The kingdom of God is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, and I believe that we, as Christians, seem neglectful in talking about it, and possibly it is because we don't fully grasp its meaning. The kingdom of God is not a physical location. From a biblical perspective, a working definition of God's kingdom can be seen as God's universal reign as our Creator and Christ's far-reaching work as our Redeemer.

It is here that Mr. Clark directs his reader's attention in thinking about the Kingdom of God by taking them through an excursion of the Gospel of John, by the combination of Christian devotionals usage of allegories and heart-rendering stories. And it is here that Mr. Clark desires to transform the relationships that his readers have with the Lord into something more meaningful. Even though the book lacks comprehensiveness, I still feel it merits the 5 STARS I've given it.… (más)
