Review: This is an inspiring volume! Not quite a biography, but a personal history of 25 years of ministry at one of the world's best known churches, Westminster Chapel. Dr. Kendall's accounts of the changes that God brought to the Chapel during his ministry are sometimes nearly breathtaking. You feel his hurt, and you share his bliss as Dr. Kendall guides the tour of God's sovereign revelation of His glory during those turbulent, yet fulfilling years.

We are able to meet such notable personalities as Arthur Blessitt, Billy Graham, Paul Cain and Rodney Howard-Browne. Not to mention the heart-felt and loving description of Dr. Kendall's predecessor and mentor, the larger-than-life Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

We also get a variety of eye-opening theological insights through examining some of the things which Dr. Kendall both taught and learned during those years. I appreciate the simplicity with which he explains what could be very complex theological ideas.

A fascinating read. Pastors, theologians and Christians of many backgrounds will come to love Dr. Kendall, even if they have not had the opportunity to read any of his other outstanding books, and even if they happen to disagree with some of his theological conclusions. He is without question a man of God, and a man used mightily of God.
