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. 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. It is an appeal for the church to settle for no less than an abiding, ongoing revival. One Night with the King is a dramatization of the Biblical story of Esther, who risked her life by approaching the King of Persia to request that he save the Jewish people. 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. The screenplay by Stephan Blinn is based on Tommy Tenney and Mark Andrew Olsen's novel Hadassah: One Night with the King. 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.
