 An apprehensive review February 20, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
After recently reading Bill Johson's "Dreaming With God", I was really looking forward to diving into "When Heaven Invades Earth". Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed. The writing didn't seem to flow as well as in Johnson's other book. As far as I can tell, it is the first major book he wrote. So, that might explain the whole flow thing. I tried to overlook that though and kept reading.
Johnson is a man that obviously loves God, is hungry for God, and strives to live a life in the supernatural. He also obviously desires for other Christians to walk in the supernatural, and lays out in great detail how to encounter signs and wonders, miracles and revival. This book might be good for anyone who hasn't experienced these things in their walk with God, and desires to do so. However, I say that with some apprehension. Talking from experience with revival and the supernatural, "When Heaven Invades Earth" lacked some balance between the practicalities of everyday living and the supernatural that I would hope for in a book like this.
In the end, I would rather see people read "Dreaming With God". I just sensed more of a maturity in Johnson's thought's about the supernatural, as well as, his writing style.
 I would not recommend this book February 17, 2008

As a Charismatic believer, I was challenged by the book to pray and to have a greater expectation for God's power to be present.
However, I was disappointed at the "Health" gospel approach of Mr. Johnson - He does not write about people that do not receive a healing in the here and now (people need more faith? He doesn't address this real-life issue). I was also disappointed at his style - seemingly putting down other ministries and theologies to lift up his own ministry and theology. He also attacks the importance of a balanced theology. This book might be popular but my experience is that it brings more division to the body of Christ than encouragement. Although the book is challenging, I would look for a different author on this subject.
Some books I would recommend include:
* Jack Deere - Surpised by the Power of the Spirit
* Jack Hayford - Divine Healing by the Power of the Holy Spirit
- Both of these books deal with the reasons of why God does heal in the here and now and acknowledge and consider some reasonable answers as to why some people do not experience this healing phenomenon.
Concerning the Health and Wealth Gospel:
* Gordon Fee - The Disease of the Health and Wealth Gospel
I would also recommend:
* Ken Blue - Authority to Heal
 Very inspiring! January 28, 2008

This is the first book I have ever read by Bill Johnson. My church is currently using it for Level 1 of their School of Leaders class, which my parents are in. So when they came out of class with their new books for Level 1 I was excited! So when we got home after church I took one of them and read it. First of all I had high expectations because it was a recommended book by my pastor. When it was recommended, plus at one time the book club at our church was reading it, I wanted to get my hand so much on this book. So when I got a hold of it I read it. It was so anointed and full of revelation.
First of all, having been raised in Pentecostal churches all my life i knew what the bible talked about things such as healing and I know it is the will of God for us to be healed and the bible talking about the supernatural. I knew the bible talked about signs and wonders confirming the word, BUT GOD HAD TO TEACH ME SOMETHING THROUGH THIS BOOK!!!!
The author talks about how the supernatural is the normal life for the believer, about the present state of the Kingdom of God, and how we are ambassadors for his Kingdom, about what we need to do for revival, and much more. I learned that I as a believer should expect the Supernatural! Plus he shares powerful stories how ordinary people are performing the supernatural in their everday world! It increased my faith for the supernatural and I called upon God to forgive me for not expecting the supernatural like I should have! I learned that the supernatural IS A NORMAL PART OF A BELIEVER'S LIFE!!!
It actually is a balanced approach to the Kingdom and I love how simple and easy it was to read this classic work by Bill Johnson! Every believer needs to read this book!!!! So if you are curious about the supernatural, wonder about the Work of the Holy Ghost, or if Pentecost is already a way of life for you, then you DEFINETLY NEED TO GET "WHEN HEAVEN INVADES EARTH" TODAY!!!

I am oftentimes skeptical when fellow believers recommend Christian books. Oftentimes the title is powerful but they are so basic in their content that I wonder if the preacher or evangelist wrote it on flights between speaking engagements. Not so with W.H.I.E.! This book has meat to it and is thoroughly challenging , engaging and thought provoking. You will not rush through this book. It is inspired and the author writes from a position of spiritual maturity born of experience. This book may be
difficult for believers who only want a thrill. It points out the cost of
bringing "heaven to earth" and that is a cost that many will not want to pay. I give it 5 stars!
