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: 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.
