Every church leader hungry for a visitation of God should have his whole church reading this. I will definitely be listening to this many times again. He contrasts the "Glory" with a preacher's anointing or a gifting, citing the "Glory" as the manifest presence of GOD and having far more transformative power than a preacher's anointing. Set in ancient Susa, Hadassah is the necessarily beautiful young Jewish girl whose parents’ brutal murder has haunted her life. The author contrasts stale lukewarm church services or Christianity with one that is quickened by an distinct sense of God's active presence with the evidence of supernatural conversions, transformed communities and miraculous answers to prayers of all kinds. Tommy Tenney, a revivalist preacher in the charismatic tradition, has written a fictional version of the book of Esther in Hadassah: One Night with the King. It is an appeal for the church to settle for no less than an abiding, ongoing revival. It is a passionate, even desparate, appeal to God-hungry Christians to aim for and pursue the highest of all treasures: GOD HIMSELF, possessed in a real and intimate friendship, that not only transforms the Christian's life but that of people around him/her. This book was written from a place of deep conviction and deep hunger for an authentic first-hand experience of the God of the Bible in a way that transforms and irreversibly addicts one to God's presence.
