When Heaven Invades Earth: A Practical Guide to a Life of Miracles
by
Bill Johnson
When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous, supernatural power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is also our commission. The...more

As if I were a child wandering too close to the road, I had received stern instruction of caution before reading Bill Johnson. While the instruction may have provided temporary novocain , the shock-factor -approach to Johnson's writing soon exploded past the numbing. Overall, I found the book refreshing. Finally, I'm starting to see some conviction within the church to believe in the same Jesus we read about in the Gospels. Johnson, leading by example in his church in CA, is urging us to inf...more
This book was so abysmally bad I'm not even sure where to begin. It's not worth one star, but sadly Good Reads doesn't have a "no stars" rating option. When the Introduction begins by stating Johnson's affinity for Aimee McPherson and Smith Wigglesworth it doesn't bode well. I resent wasting time reading trash of this nature, but as a pastor it's sometimes necessary in order to respond to questions raised by church members who are exposed thanks to other churches and pastors that la...more
This book emphasizes the spiritual war that is going on in this physical world. I considered the emphasis of the book to be on the power we have as believers of God through the Holy Spirit to combat evil. I rate it as amazing because the author gives excellent ideas and examples of when the Holy Spirit is used to produce miracles in this world. The Holy Spirit produces real results. It gave me a new perspective on God's power and how as believers we are called to use it at times.

Johnson's book is representative of the neo-charismatic movement, full of anecdotes and stories to prove unbiblical doctrines along with badly applied Bible texts. Add to that healthy soil your run of the mill power in positive thinking in spiritualized language and you got yourself a movement. Probably the worst thing about the book as I recall having read it a few years back is that Johnson literally described the gospel (Christ dying for sinners to save them from the wrath they deserve) as bu...more
When the building block of your theology is a centuries old heresy, the structure built from it necessarily is flawed. Search for the Kenotic Heresy and you'll see immediately where this goes wrong. If Jesus was merely a man living in right obedience to God then I, as a man, can be like Jesus. Of course this attacks the fundamentals of Christian belief, the Trinity and the atonement are crushed just as a starter course.

I am currently reading this book. I first listened to the author speak at a conference. The impact he had on me is affecting my view of the book. What I sense when I see him in person is humility, boldness, confidence in God and honesty. The book reflects his character. If the same words were written by someone with less believability, it would be easy to dismiss. But there is something weighty about the book that challenges me and even makes me feel uncomfortable - in a good way.
This is one of the most challenging books I've ever read. It is definitely a faith builder, although it does go against a lot of what I was taught growing up, or at least what I've always believed. I am anticipating miracles in my life for sure and this book gets me geared up for seeing God's Kingdom come in power. I would suggest this book to anyone, especially if you want a challenge and new things to pray and hope for. I certainly enjoyed this book.
Terrible.
Verses taken out of context to make points that don't make sense.
Plus, it supports the heresy known as “kenosis theory”.
Bill Johnson has high respect for Benny Hinn.
And associations like that is enough for me not to trust his teachings, judgment and discernment.

Johnson's stories of healings and miracles encouraged me. Yet, I couldn't follow the logic or understand the significance of most of the conclusions he drew. Many of the spiritual insights sounded like extrapolations built on murky premises. I couldn't uncover much of a practical guide to living life. So, while I found some use in his personal experiences, I can't find anything worth recommending in the rest.

This book is ruining me. But in the best way possible. It's shattering some of the mindsets I've head for years about being a believer. After finishing I'll probably read it again because I might be missing so many amazing points he made about being a Christian.
I love this book. I love what Bill teaches. I have had the amazing privilege of being able to call Bethel Church my home this year as well as attending their school of supernatural ministry. I love that what is in the book Bill not only lives out himself in radical love and honor, but I was able to see the fruit of it in the thousand students that went through this school this year. Stepping out in faith and risk in partnership with the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus did and invited us to do as ...more
This is one of my favorite inspirational, inspiring, instructive Christian life books I have ever read. It was challenging, convicting, and opened my eyes to the kingdom of God. I am not living life the same after reading this book.
If everyone could get "on earth as it is in Heaven" then this world would be radically different. Christians would pray with expectation that Heaven will indeed come to earth. One of the best books I've ever read.
This book changed my life. I learned things about the Kingdom of God that I had never heard before. I learned things that I had read in the Bible but had not been truly taught yet. Great book.
This is singularly one of the most paradigm-shifting books I've read to date. It brings you to the NEW COVENANT and the GOOD NEWS...all with scriptural facts.
Bill Johnson offers a new perspective and a fresh breath to Christianity. New may not be the proper word, I should say a different perspective.
This book was recommended to me by Tommy Green of Sleeping Giant and, after reading it, I can see why. It's taken me a few months to get through it because of all of the ideas I've gotten from stories in the book. I don't think I'll ever be the same. So far this is the most powerful book I've ever read and has re-directed how I look at the Gospels as well as what it means to be a Christian. If you are looking for encouragement, insight, inspiration, and power, When Heaven Invades Earth sure poin...more
Essential reading for evryone that is interesting in miracles, the precence of God and the supernatural. Dont miss it.
Love what Bill Johnson has to say!! I had to read this book slowly...there's need for long pauses to absorb!
Everyone needs to read this book. I was amazed and challenged with every chapter.
I just love the way Bill Johnson thinks and relates God's truths...this is incredible.
Very evangelical in nature and deals with miracles from laying on hands.
Paradigm-shifting book for me. Taught me a whole new way to pray.
I've read this book like 4 times. Love it and learn each time.
I now look for miracles everyday!
AMAZING BOOK!!!!!!!!!
Great, great, book!
i appreciate bill's straightforward, rational, grounded-in-scripture, structured approach to the subject of supernatural miracles and divine healing in our world today. he systematically builds his argument in a way that made it more compelling for my analytical mind. my rating is most likely boosted by the timing of my read with the circumstances of my life, but nevertheless, i found it informative, i feel more of the character of God was revealed to me, and i know reading it increased my faith...more
