Three different kinds of bad
I am currently on page 45 of this book, and into my eighth page of notes outlining the terrible exegesis, fallacious lines of reasoning and dangerous rhetoric better suited to a motivational speaker. I can only conclude at this point that the only people who will find edification in this book are those people who buy into any nice-sounding "theology," or already believe the assertions that Johnson states as fact, rather than proving out of the Bible.

As some other reviewers have mentioned, Johnson tends to use scriptures that describe (self-admittedly) mysterious and complex topics (e.g. the Kingdom of God, Worship, the presence of God, etc.) to support his particular bent of theology. If he were to actually make a well though-out case for his assertions, that would be one thing, but instead he bookends these statements with words like "obviously" and "it is apparent" to silence any discussion in the matter.

Also, Johnson routinely follows poor lines of reasoning, as seen in this following excerpt (p. 45):

"Faith lives within the revealed will of God. When I have misconceptions of who He is and what He is like, my faith is restricted by those misconceptions. For example, if I believe that God allows sickness in order to build character, I'll not have confidence praying in most situations where healing is needed."

So what Johnson is saying, if I could re-organize his thoughts, is that 1) God never allows sickness to build character, and presumably not for any other reason, 2) every situation where sickness is present is intended to end in healing, and 3) the confidence of the person praying directly influences the effectiveness of the prayer. This is bad reasoning, and each of those three points contains room for discussion out of the scriptures.

Additionally, he overuses commas and italicized text.
Pass on this one.

Inspiring
This book caused a major change in the way I viewed myself and relationship to God. Before I was always trying to "make" it into Heaven. Now I realize that the victory is won and that my life is based on living in that victory and living in the power given.

Life-Changing
This is an amazing book! God Himself speaks through this book. There have been some verses that I have known my whole life, but never felt that I got the full depth of them. This book covers each of them with a new, inspired perspective.

The examples of how real people are reaching the lost are so inspiring. The author has been blessed to see many manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Although already a believer in and witness to the supernatural, this book has me expecting the manifestation of the Holy Spirit everywhere my foot treads.

If we would all read and apply the simple principles in this book, it truly would be Heaven on Earth.

I will be recommending this book to all of my friends and family.
