While life stepped in and ended up detouring me from reading this book when originally scheduled, I did end up reading it at the perfect time in my life. A pefect blend of Scripture and application to explain and settle the encounters that we all encounter and sometimes question. This book has blessed me during a painful time in my life, and I pray it is a blessing to all who read it.

What an encouraging and challenging book! Tony Evans is quite an excellent communicator, and I loved how he took these familiar accounts from the Bible and pulled out spiritual principles that we sometimes miss in the lives of these real people who had very real struggles. While acknowledging that discouragement and depression are real, the author also gives us specific encouragement and steps to take while we are waiting for God to work in our lives.

There were parts of this book that were convicting, but also gave great hope. I underlined many passages to go back and look at again during times when I’m not sure how God is working in my life. This is great reading especially during this challenging time we find ourselves in with all the many complications we have faced because of the virus.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Dr. Evans is back with another inspiring read. Using biblical principles, as well as personal examples, Dr. Evans shows us how to have an actual encounter with God, He also uses 10 different areas where we can have these Encounters. This is a book that will need to be referred back to frequently as well as one that you will need to take your time with. A great and inspiring read for the current climate.

Tony Evans. Not only is he Priscilla Shirer's dad, he has been a long time lover of our God's Word and pastor involved in caring for God's people. In "Kingdom Encounters", you can expect to grow in your faith - if you come with a humble heart. This book has been very good for my soul. It continues to remind me of the many blessings that come with a relationship through our Savior Jesus Christ! It reminds me of God's truth, and keeps drawing me back to the Bible... helping me to delight in the things of God rather than the things of the temporary world we live in.

I love this book. As usual, Tony Evans' writing is simply extraordinary. He unearths such deep scriptural truths and principles and lays them out before the reader in a way that can be applied immediately. My life is truly better from reading this book.

We are huge fans of Tony Evans. He has been a shining light for the Word of God in south Dallas, Texas for many years. He also has been a great voice for evangelical Christianity of religious broadcast radio. So, thanks to Net Galley, I had the opportunity to read his latest book entitled “Kingdom Encounters.” The stories Dr. Evans provides are very basic for evangelicals but very good for those either new to the faith or seeking understanding of Biblical Christianity.
Dr. Evans identifies significant moments when we connect with God on a more primal level than just reading the Word or through personal experiences. In “Kingdom Encounters” he connects are God encounters with some of the great characters in Biblical history beginning with Moses. And how these experiences changed their lives! If one wishes to dive deeper into one’s faith walk with God then Dr. Evan’s book will help you do so.
