About this listen
Have you ever seen God move tangibly in a powerful worship service? Have you also been unmoved or unaffected by a lively sermon or worship experience? How can you discern when the Holy Spirit is authentically moving or when a counterfeit spirit is producing manipulation?
If the dove is the symbol of the authentic Holy Spirit, then the pigeon is a symbol of the counterfeit spirit. Unfortunately many of the claims to the presence of the dove among us are nothing but pigeon religion. Don't settle for a substitute.
Respected theologian Dr. R. T. Kendall explains eight main differences between the dove and the pigeon and then applies each to our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Listeners will come away with a refreshed sensitivity to the movement of the Spirit, a renewed knowledge of who he is, and a keen perception of how to identify counterfeit spirits.

Pride is often the true reason why we get our feelings hurt, why we feel rejection, why we won't admit to mistakes, why we want to be seen with certain people, and why we stay angry. Jesus gives us the perfect example of a powerful life lived without conceit, smugness, or arrogance. So why do we not want to admit to our pride? It is because of our pride! In The Power of Humility, R. T. Kendall challenges us to look deeply into our hearts and motives to recognize the pride and self-righteousness there.

Pharisaism is one of the sins that angered Jesus the most. Yet we are often in bondage to it without realizing it. How can we recognize the warning signs in our own hearts and lives and be set free? Do you consider yourself a better Christian than others? Do you enjoy pointing out others’ faults while ignoring your own? Do you fail to practice what you preach? If so, you might be a Pharisee - a modern-day version of the religious leaders in Jesus’ day whom he condemned for their legalism and self-righteousness.

More of God is about moving beyond faith. It is about getting more of God and experiencing more of God. Every book in the Bible, especially the books of the New Testament, is written for this purpose. Take the letters; those who are addressed were already saved. But the writers wanted their hearers to experience not just more knowledge about God but more of God. Everything in this book is designed to make you hungry. As you listen, keep in mind that the ever increasing hunger for more of God is from God.

Story
In this spirit-inspired teaching, respected scholar and theologian R. T. Kendall uses Jesus's parable of the 10 virgins to describe the condition of the church in the last days. Many Charismatics and Pentecostals assume that what we have seen in the 100 years since Azusa Street is the final move of God before the second coming. Kendall explains that this is not so and reveals that a movement of the Holy Spirit 100 times greater than anything we have seen - indeed, the greatest since Pentecost - is about to unfold. It's time to wake up!

Why is the third person in the Godhead - the one Jesus said would be the believer's ultimate source of truth and comfort - the source of such confusion? In The God I Never Knew, Robert Morris clearly explains that the Holy Spirit's chief desire is for relationship - to offer us the encouragement and guidance of a trusted friend. This insightful and biblically-based book moves beyond theological jargon, religious tradition, and cultural misconceptions to clarify what the Holy Spirit promises to do in your life.

Story
The voice that spoke the cosmos into existence is the same voice that parted the Red Sea and made the sun stand still in the midday sky. One day, this voice will make all things new, but it’s also speaking to you now! That voice is God’s, and what we’ve learned from Scripture is that He often speaks in a whisper. Not to make it difficult to hear Him, but to draw us close. Sure, in ancient times and in mysterious ways, God spoke to His people, but is He still speaking now? Mark Batterson certainly believes so. And he wants to introduce you to the seven love languages of God.

Absolutely 5 Stars
The church is starved in need of more books like these. His illustrations really bring home the insights he has to share. The understanding this author shares, at 80 years old, is invaluable. Someone recommended this book to me, which I am very thankful for — and now likewise wholeheartedly recommend! God bless you.

Good compare and contrast
Pigeon religion by RT Kendall is good compare and contrast between the work of the Holy Spirit and the work of The Flash or of a counterfeit spirit. I thought the dove pigeon analogy was stretched at some points but overall RT can do points to what the Holy Spirit does versus what we think we are doing under the guise of the Holy Spirit. I would recommend to all especially leaders reading this book so that they are better equipped to discern true moves of God from false moves of God. On that note we must also keep in mind that true moves of God can have pigeon religion slip in and we must be on card for that as well
