When I was young, I identified more with Joseph. Now that I am getting older, I identify more with Jacob. The older we are, the longer our past - with so many memories and, in my case, so many regrets. The thought that all our past folly could actually 'work together for good' (Rom 8:28 AV) is almost overwhelming. That is what this book is about.' 'All's Well that Ends Well' explores the life of Jacob, revealing a three-dimensional character with whom modern readers can closely identify. Despite the fact that God had spoken to Jacob at Bethel, and had wrestled with him at Peniel, and despite the fact that he had seen angels, Jacob had a weak faith. Yet his story offers insights into human behaviour and God's character that have not changed in thousands of years. The central theme of these sermons, says Kendall, is 'letting God love us'. Through God's dealings with Jacob and his family, Kendall reveals a God who is faithful, loving and just, and he demonstrates how we can overcome our weaknesses and grow in our Christian faith.

Although many of us long to be blessed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, R. T. Kendall believes it is possible to abuse this anointing - and become yesterday's man or woman. This happens by trying to move outside our calling and capabilities, for example, or even through impatience.Drawing on the Bible, especially the lives of Saul, Samuel and David, as well as on his own experience, R. T. helps us to identify our current usefulness and urges us to seek a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit each day.

Combining real-life stories with clear biblical teaching, Dr Kendall calls on all Christians to discover what it means to tithe. He argues that we cannot out-give God, and that the Church could be revitalised if it were taken more seriously.

British pastor R.T. Kendall analyzes the Old Testament story of Joseph to bring comfort and hope to those who have been misused, falsely accused, humiliated, abandoned, or otherwise afflicted by showing how God can turn evil to good.
