Bringing his insightful and down-to-earth approach to bear on the topic of The Lord''s Prayer, R.T. Kendall opens up new depths in this short prayer, exploring the full range of meaning in each line to establish firm principles for all our prayer. Starting from the initial focus on God, through asking for what God wants in our world, then on to our needs, and so finally on to the benediction with which the prayer closes, he unpacks the meaning of each line, brings personal challenges to bear on our own lives, and gives us the reassurance of God''s love and care for us.

It''s one of the most difficult questions that Christians face, and a problem that keeps many away from faith: why does a good God allow bad things to happen? And how do we keep on trusting him when they do? Having written bestselling books on how to forgive both others and ourselves, much-loved author R. T. Kendall now tackles our need to forgive God for all the times we feel he''s let us down. Written with courage, humour and above all kindness, this book is an encouragement to all who''ve grappled with life''s deepest mysteries.

''Few recently published books have made a greater impression on me than R. T. Kendall''s Total Forgiveness,'' writes Robin Eames. ''I have found so much in his words to challenge my own thinking and work. His Bible-centred approach is matched by the realism of how individuals have tried to face up to loss, distress and frustration.''This book, possibly R. T. Kendall''s most important work to date, explains what God calls for as ''total forgiveness''. No sin or action is unforgivable, says R. T., and we are called to keep no record of wrongs, to refuse to punish those who have hurt us, to show mercy and to avoid any form of bitterness. Total Forgiveness contains a radical message for a divided world.''If I could have only one of R. T.''s books, this would be my choice. There is no more important message for the church today'' Rob Parsons

''I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.'' (Matthew 12:36) R. T. Kendall admits that this Bible verse worries him, as he knows he will one day have some explaining to do! If you are honest, how does it make you feel? Controlling the tongue - having the wisdom to know what to say and when to say it - is one of the toughest biblical commandments we face. We often fail to realise the power of the spoken word, and our careless talk can sometimes be more damaging than we realise. But in this unique book R. T. demonstrates that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, the challenge is not beyond us. Learning to control the tongue will not only make you faithful to God''s call but will also strengthen your character, making you more like Jesus.

Many Christians are today sitting happily in the middle of their personal comfort zones, and feel God has confirmed their right to be there. But is this the God of the Bible?This is a book of huge significance for the church today, designed to inspire, encourage and challenge us to seek God''s greater anointing. Chapters include ''For the Love of Money'', ''Chances are you are a Pharisee if...'', ''The Seeker-Sensitive God?'' and ''Whatever Happened to Hell?''.

What starts as Rabbi David Rosen''s staunch defence of his tradition against Dr R. T. Kendall''s use of ''Pharisee'' as a derogatory term blossoms into a fascinating exchange in which the two men openly discuss the basic tenets of their respective faiths. They explore the common ground that these two related religions share, and discover the fundamental differences that set them apart.This groundbreaking publication is a rare opportunity to read the heartfelt correspondence of two prolific religious leaders, both acclaimed theologians, as they seek to both vigorously defend their own beliefs and allow themselves to be challenged by the claims of the other. As the discussion continues we see mutual respect grow and a strong friendship forged before the relationship is inevitably tested as they reach points of seemingly irreconcilable difference.Is it possible for Christianity and Judaism to proactively co-exist when the bedrock of one denies the rationale of the other? This dignified book poses such difficult questions whilst offering greater understanding and hope for the future.

''The Christian faith and message promise joy - pure joy. Not what people call happiness, but joy. Not health or wealth, but joy. Not an easy ride and fun, but joy. We are filled with "an inexpressible and glorious joy".''In the familiar, down-to-earth and thoroughly biblical style for which he is so loved, R. T. Kendall unpacks the joy which is a gift of God for all Christians. Joy in the face of extreme trial, the joy which comes in time, the joy of God''s esteem, and rejoicing in the Lord are just some of the themes explored in this wonderful book of encouragement and inspiration.

Jealousy is something that we all have to deal with - both in ourselves and in others. Rooted in our natural fears and insecurities, it has damaged relationships since the time of Cain and Abel and still does today - if we let it.In this wise and compassionate book, R. T. Kendall tackles, head-on, the sin that no one likes to admit to. He shows that it is only when we grasp that it is God we should aim to please that we will be able to recognise and overcome jealousy and, like Jesus, be jealous only for the glory of God.

''What God does for us every day is a thousand times more than what the best of friends and neighbours do for us.''The question is: are we thankful? That is what this book is about. It is all about learning gratitude and remembering to thank God for everything: the big things, the little things. God wants to be appreciated. I want this book to help show us how to be thankful.''This book is R.T. at his very best - popular theology and guidance for life in the style that has made him one of the most popular Christian writers in the UK today.As with Total Forgiveness, Thanking God explores and unpacks one of the simple but absolutely crucial aspects of the Christian life. R T examines the biblical teaching on gratitude and relates it to our everyday experience in a fashion both enlightening and challenging.

Although many of us long to be blessed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, R. T. Kendall believes it is possible to abuse this anointing - and become yesterday''s man or woman. This happens by trying to move outside our calling and capabilities, for example, or even through impatience.Drawing on the Bible, especially the lives of Saul, Samuel and David, as well as on his own experience, R. T. helps us to identify our current usefulness and urges us to seek a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit each day.

In 2 Corinthians 12: 7 Paul makes the extraordinary admission that he was given a ''thorn in the flesh''. Although we can never be sure what that torment was, many of us will know what it feels like to experience a painful problem which does not seem to go away.In this book R. T. Kendall explains what a thorn in the flesh is, why we have it, and what we should understand by it. Looking with compassion at the kinds of acute situation in which we may find ourselves - an unhappy marriage, difficult working conditions, loneliness, sexual misgivings or chronic illness, for example - he shows how the grace of God is sufficient whatever our thorn, and how it can lead us into unimaginable intimacy with Jesus.

In Pursuit of His Glory is a revealing and moving personal account of R T Kendall''s eventful and often turbulent 25-year tenure as Minister of Westminster Chapel, one of London''s most historic Evangelical churches. He talks frankly about both the blessings and disappointments he has experienced in that time, including his touching relationship with Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones, and the pressures of succeeeding such a famous name; and some of the controversial changes he introduced, which in one instance brought him into such conflict with some members of the church that RT was almost forced to leave the Chapel.This edition includes ''The Day the World Changed'', the text of two sermons RT gave in response to the events of September 11th.In Pursuit of His Wisdom is an engaging and page-turning read, rooted in solid theological teaching.

We all want to live a good life - but how do we go about doing so? Much-loved author R. T. Kendall urges us to take the Bible at its word when it encourages us to get wisdom - and live by it. In this wise and practical book, R. T. encourages us that not only is God''s opinion - his wisdom - on offer, God actually desires us to have it. ''Wisdom is supreme - the greatest good we can seek, the most noble virtue there is, the greatest gift that is on offer and the highest plateau for living that is available in this present world.''Join R. T. on the journey of a lifetime as he shows us the beauty of a life lived with God, secure in knowing the next step forward.
