Word and Spirit Together: Uniting Charismatics and Evangelicals

Purchase this book, brew lavender tea, and have your Bible handy. And while you’re preparing, be sure to place your humility seal securely around your heart. If we could but submit to the Word of God, and be humble enough to admit where we have missed the mark in both sides, we could be a dynamic force for the glory of God and making a big impact for God’s Kingdom together!

This book is a beautiful examination of reconciling differences between charismatic and evangelical doctrine. As David Pawson strongly asserts, the division that results from strong adherence to either of these positions is not appropriate for followers of Christ. Mr. Pawson identifies the compromises each position must make to align with true Biblical teaching and to come together in one body of Christ. It is valuable reading for any Christian.

I consider this book as a blessing for both charismatics and evangelicals. The book does not seek a compromise, but the Truth, which is the only way to unity in Jesus Christ.

I respect and admire David Pawson as a speaker and researcher. He provides some good detail on the topic as well as nuances to the topic that will challenge some of the standard opinions on the topic. However, there is a puzzeling item that features in all of his books. All of his books are poorly edited. In fact, they actually take away from the professional stature you expect from an author providing such insights. Honestly, I am unsure why he would not have edited his works before print? Setting this oddity aside the book will be worth the read and may in fact change some of your prior persuasion.

The book is in good condition.

great in all respects
