E.W. Kenyon and His Message of Faith: The True Story

Description

Joe McIntyre has given us a priceless volume on the life of E.W. Kenyon. Few men have been more maligned and misrepresented to the church than this man. E. W. Kenyon: The True Story has been written honestly, with much research and style. It is refreshing not only to see his role in church history more clearly, but also to do so with ever increasing faith. By simply reading this book, we can access a tremendous grace to believe God for more.

Joe McIntyre’s book E. W. Kenyon and His Message of Faith: The True Story is a must read. It is one of only a handful of books that I have read twice, including every endnote…

I believe this book is one of the most important books today to bring clarity to an area where there has been much confusion, misinformation, and actual intentional misrepresentation. I count it a privilege to write an endorsement for E. W. Kenyon and His Message of Faith: The True Story. I like this book so much that I don’t think there is any other book, other than my There Is More, that I promote more at my three Schools of Healing and Impartation. I was so impressed that I have had Joe come and speak at them quite often.

Joe McIntyre has done the whole church of Jesus Christ a great service by writing E.W. Kenyon: The True Story. Joe traces the roots of the faith movement to the Bible-based Evangelical movement, not to the Pentecostal movement from Azusa street as many would suppose. Joe’s scholarly but readable book will help curb the extra-biblical excesses while helping the “conservative church” avoid the problem of throwing out the baby with the bath water.

I was enlightened, challenged, and found my faith being built as I read this book. I heartily recommend it to anyone who wishes to explore the idea that the power of God outlasted the close of the 1st century.

My friend, Joe McIntyre, in this powerful and persuasive book describes the facts about the life and teaching of E.W. Kenyon. His research and personal study will breathe new life into your faith. If you’re a skeptic or a seeker, be prepared to be challenged and encouraged as Joe takes you on a fascinating search for the true man and the true story behind the man.

Few books I have read in recent years articulate the true nature of faith with the kind of revelation wisdom that Joe McIntyre offers as an investigative practitioner not just an observer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be challenged to another level of radical faith.

I have just completed reading “E.W. Kenyon and His Message of Faith: The True Story.”
I am impressed with the grasp of the various aspects of the life and theology of Dr. Kenyon presented in this biography, and the way the author has woven his material into a defense and apologetic for this man and his writings.

However, it is much more than a competent apologetic – it is a clear arrow pointing to the heart’s desire of both Dr. Kenyon and his biographer – that “as a result of this book, many will evaluate Kenyon’s contributions without the cloud of suspicion erected by his detractors, and objectively consider the merits of his message of faith.”

… this biography brings an overview of Kenyon into perspective, that ought to be read by every evangelical pastor and minister.

E. W. Kenyon: The True Story is an amazing slice of late 19th C. and early 20th C. church history. The narrative is wonderfully engaging. This book is a great read! In the face of biting, acrimonious criticism of the Faith Message that Kenyon advocated, McIntyre offers a reasoned and grace-filled response. This book communicates an important message that demands a wide readership. Some of the themes are controversial but McIntyre unpacks them with the skill of a surgeon. In so doing, the author provides a clear rationale for the biblical message of Faith – a message that has been largely abandoned by a huge segment of the Church! This book will challenge you!

Joe McIntyre has done an excellent job in bringing understanding to the life of E. W. Kenyon. Kenyon was misrepresented by some writings in the mid-eighties. Not only do we receive clarity about E. W. Kenyon’s work, but we see, through this book the part he played in the early years of the Pentecostal movement. Both E.W. Kenyon and John G. Lake agreed that what the church needs is “A Christianity with demonstrable power to heal and deliver.” What they were after is certainly relevant today.

This is a fascinating book about a fascinating man. It is engagingly written and has extensive endnotes that illustrate sound scholarship. This is a book that should add new dimensions to the story of E. W. Kenyon and dispel many accusations that have clouded his name over the years.
