The Mystery of the Kingdom is a virtual "Christianity 101, and is truly MUST-READING for every believer!" It puts the entire "big picture" of the Christian experience and life into proper perspective, as well as answers many common questions regarding God and the Kingdom of God. Its subtitle, Bearing Kingdom Fruit, reflects the book's ultimate message. The medium through which that message is conveyed-The Parable of the Sower-is what Jesus Himself indicated is the most important of all His Parables. In it, He delineates the four categories of hearers of the Word of God. According to the Parable, everyone who has ever heard the Word of God falls into one of these four categories, and thereby chooses their own future and eternal destiny. Dr. Lambert unveils in the volume the four-step path of progressive spiritual growth revealed in this "dark saying" of the Master. The most profound and intriguing "hidden pearl" inherent in the rich and ingenious Parable, however, is the spiritually appraised "secret" of how the entire Kingdom of God operates and how every believer can bear Kingdom fruit in his/her own life. And, indeed, as the book so clearly points out, the unequivocal message of Scripture is that bearing Kingdom fruit is not optional but absolutely imperative. The Mystery of the Kingdom offers definitive and straightforward answers to all these age-old questions-right out of the Word of God. By demystifying many of the conundrums of life, The Mystery of the Kingdom, will bring you new inward peace, rest, and faith, and in the process quench the psychological and emotional "fiery darts" with which the evil one assails all believers. It will also arm you with added "ammunition" for quelling the sometimes hostile questionings and criticisms of the unbelieving. The inspiring and empowering message unfurled upon the pages of The Mystery of the Kingdom is a tremendous evangelizing source.
