Summary: THE PERFECT EXPLANATION OF WHY THINGS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE.
Review: AFTER 20 YEARS IN THE CHURCH AND WONDERING HOW CHRISTIANS COULD ACT THE WAY THEY DO AND WHY CHURCHES SPLIT, I NOW UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THAT HAPPENS. THE BOOK ADDRESSED MANY ISSUES THAT WOULD AT BEST BE CONTROVERSIAL AS FAR AS ANY RELIGIOUS LEADER WOULD BE CONCERNED, BUT IT WENT PAST RELIGION INTO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND THE RIGHTS HE GIVES US AND THE CHOICES WE MAKE. THIS BOOK WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY EYES BEING OPENED TO THE SPIRITUAL REALM AND GOD'S ALLOWING US THE ABILITY TO DO WHAT WE WANT AND THE CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

Summary: Deep, thoughtful, and serious - A Christian classic
Review: As someone who has read many Christian books, I took special pleasure in this brief volume. It covers many topics, all current, all covered biblically, and it wastes no words. Mr. Joyner has with this single work established himself as one the significant Christian authors of our time.It is addressed to the believer in Christ who is serious about getting things in perspective: the state of the Church, issues on the horizons, and one's own walk with God. It is a book that tolerates many rereadings.

Summary: A 20th Century Classic
Review: I don't believe there is one other book to best explain Christianity. Whether you are just wondering about the Bible or walked with God your entire life, this book brings depth and simplicity to the core beliefs of the Bible in a way I have never seen before.
If you have never read a book by Rick Joyner this is the one to begin with, then don't miss "The Final Quest".

Summary: Twisted Scripture and Mysticism
Review: I don't know if Mr. Joyner is just naive, or if he's trying to deliberately undermine the simple truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; but this book presents an odd picture of our redemption that requires twisting the Word of God. This book equates biblical conceptions that are not equal. Mr. Joyner's presentation of Christianity (in his books, teaching tapes, and on his own website) seem to contain decidedly mystical elements. It's as if he doesn't believe the Bible is really the Word of God, but instead it is merely an allegory. If he didn't claim otherwise, I'd think he was a Kabbalist!

Summary: A must read for new and older christians alike!
Review: I don't like to say this..but not many books keep me through the end. Partly because of my busy life and partly because there just isn't enough in the content to keep me interested. I am proud to say I finished Rick Joyner's "There were Two Trees in the Garden! I found that the author had so much spiritual insight that I just had to keep coming back for more! I have recommended this book to friends and relatives because I feel so many christians have not grasped some of the great truths of the Bible and what it takes to please God! I believe everyone can benefit from the wisdom imparted through reading this book. Scripture is quoted throughout the book in bold text with insights presented in easy to understand language. I believe when a reader finishes this book he will be enlightened. I will reread this book to use as a reminder that we cannot please God with our goodness it must come through a spiritual relationship with Him.

Summary: Very encouraging
Review: I have not quite gotten into the content of it ,however, final quest one of Rick s books, has a very profound value because it contains the very words of Our Lord Jesus .It is a good buy and all who are saved should seek to read it.

Summary: A Very Bizarre Book with Very Bad Bible Interpretation
Review: I was shocked at this book from the very first three pages where Mr. Joyner equates the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil with the Law; where he came up with this is beyond me. He certainly didn't get it from the Bible. Because of his skewed ideas concerning the Old Testament and in particular the Law, Mr. Joyner proceded to make numerous exegetical errors. Apart from the awful theology, the book was even more poorly written. It jumps from one issue to the next without transition. There doesn't seem to have been any editing of the manuscript before publishing. I had heard so many good things about Mr. Joyner's teaching that I looked forward to reading this, but now hope this was just a bad book and not representative of his other works. If you want to read a good book on the Christian life, then read Watchman Nee's the Normal Christian Life.

Summary: A must read for new and older christians alike!
Review: Mr. Joyner has again painted a masterpiece using the Word of God. The straight-forward approach and depth of God's word is so wonderfully innertwined. I had to read it, re-read it, and allow it to soak in because each morsel was meat to my spirit. Highly recommended to every believer willing to receive from the richness of God's Word.

Review: One of the best books that I have read, besides the bible. A must have for any believer. A great help in understanding the Lord, who he really is.
