"Kingdom Values" is another good title by Tony Evans and focuses on living out true character (in the power of the Holy Spirit) in a world that wouldn't know the Holy Spirit if it bumped into Him in a broom closet! Indeed, I am sick and tired of "virtue signaling" (i.e. - giving the impression that you really care about things when in actuality you may be more interested in being well thought of by others). Instead, true believers in and followers of Jesus Christ let to let the Holy Spirit operate in and through us to positively impact the world around us for His glory.

Now to the book.

What I like about the title:

- Covers many relevant topics (being careful of relying too much on feelings, characteristics of biblical character, various ways biblical truth is attacked by the world, etc.).

- Good balance of spiritual insights and practical application (not just another Christian book full of empty "pious platitudes").

- Good mix of biblical truth and godly kindness (not truth without love or mushy sentimentalism).

- Well organized and smooth flow from chapter to chapter (not a choppy or disorganized read).

- Good contrasts with worldly living and thinking.

Good read and will be read again. Recommended. I was given a review copy by Bethany House in exchange for a fair review and appreciate the opportunity.

Dt Tony Evans is very gifted in his writings. Kingdom Values is another great book authored by Sr Evans. i am never disappointed with any of his products.

Excellent teaching book. Anything Dr. Tony Evans teaches is food for the soul.

The book was easy to read and true to the Bible

In Kingdom Values, Tony Evans challenges readers to consider the importance of truth and eight Biblical characteristics, from the Scriptural account of the Sermon on the Mount, that should be foundational to the life of a Christian and his or her relationship with God. It is clear that Evans has extensive experience and study as a pastor; he writes with boldness and Kingdom Values is not for readers who are faint of heart. A minor critique is that Evans writes using some personal examples and a plethora of analogies. This mostly helps the reader to understand the concepts Evans presents, but the frequency of analogies may be distracting to some readers. Also, portions of Kingdom Values, particularly in the first section regarding truth, could seem redundant. Though, this style may add to the urgency Evans presents. Regardless, readers will likely find encouragement and challenge in Kingdom Values.
