Foundational Scripture:
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” -I Peter 4:11 (KJV)

Book #1 (2001) / STUDY GUIDE version (2008) / Revised Edition (2011)
Know God & Do the Will of God Concerning Your Life
The author of “Give God the Glory!” is proof that God does work with and through people, as he observes in the introduction. There is honesty in this book that leads to the Word. I am grateful Deacon Kevin W. Johnson includes the Scriptures…as they reinforce the power in this book for new and ‘retired’ Christians.
- ChristianBookReviewer
Reading this inspirational book is a life-changing experience. It is truly a blessing for all of us who wish to learn to follow God’s plan in our lives. I recommend “Give God the Glory” to anyone who is searching for a guide to a more fulfilling spiritual life. Through the special gift of his writing ministry, Kevin Johnson models for all of us the ways in which we can each use our own talents to bring others to the Lord and to spread the word of the gospel.
- Nancy Boyd-Franklin, Ph.D., Professor, Rutgers University, Co-author with her husband, Dr. A.J. Franklin of the book, “Boys into Men: Raising Our African American Teenage Sons.”
”Give God the Glory!” is a literary blessing to all who will read it. Your book has such insight on God’s personal relationship with us. This is a must read for those who want a devotional and spiritual uplift in the Holy Ghost. May God continue to inspire you to write so that many will be led to Give God the Glory!
- Reverend Ronald L. Owens, Senior Pastor, New Hope Baptist Church, Metuchen, New Jersey
When pondering the big question, “What is the meaning of life,” some readers may find comfort and answers in “Give God the Glory!”, a book written by ministry leader Kevin Wayne Johnson. “Give God the Glory!” includes scripture that reinforces the author’s words with God’s. Topics in the book are designed to be helpful to family situations and personal relationships. Within the six chapters of the book, there are specific instances to encourage readers to give a little bit of themselves everyday to God.

Book #2 (2003)
Called to be Light in the Workplace
“Give God the Glory! Called to be LIGHT in the Workplace is a nice blend of spiritual and practical wisdom about being the best ambassador for Christ in the workplace. I especially like the servant leader section and the material about being an effective communicator. Readers will be stirred to press on toward the mark to win the prize (i.e. Christ) for which are call called heavenward. Mr. Johnson challenges our complacency and encourages us to maintain a “new wineskin heart” into which our Lord can pour much of the “new wine” that is found in this book.
– Jim Biscardi, Jr., President, New Jersey Christian Ministries, Incorporated
The principle purpose – God made man for His glory! As you think of that concept, how much do we really understand what the glory of God is all about? How does the glory of God relate to our everyday life? Kevin Johnson has presented to us how we can glorify God not only in church but also in the workplace. It is of vital importance that we grasp this principle that has been presented for us in Kevin’s intriguing work called, “Give God the Glory!” May this be the pursuit of all of us as we think of the very purpose God had for us as He placed us on planet Earth.”
– Joe Jordan, Executive Director, Word of Life Fellowship, Incorporated, Schroon Lake, New York
You’re in a store thinking about buying this book. You ask yourself two logical questions: ‘Is it worth spending $15 to read what this man has to say about being a Christian in the workplace? Will I feel that I received my money’s worth when I finish this book?’ The answer is a resounding YES! Kevin Johnson has taken the Word of God, blended it with years of experience in government and corporations, seasoned it with helpful quotations, examples and resources, and baked it in the fire of the Holy Spirit to cook up a very relevant book. I believe that, in God’s economy, the $15 you choose to invest in Give God the Glory: Called to be LIGHT in the Workplace can deliver a profoundly positive and eternal return-on-investment.
- Drew Crandall, President, Northeast Christians at Work, Vernon, Connecticut
Book #4 (2005)
The Godly Family Life
This one may be the most compelling book yet! I have three sons and many spiritual and social sons that I have already promised in my heart to get a copy in their hands. The personal work sheets at the end of each chapter is a perfect personal accountability tool. I can see God changing the foundation of the family right before our eyes through the power of the words in this book. The use of scripture, real scriptural men, personal life experience and indisputable statistics appeal to whichever kind of scrutinizing eye through which we might read this material. My heart is racing at the lives that I personally envision will be changed!
– Paulette Holloway, Director, Bethany Christian Services, Crofton, Maryland
Truly, the foundation of our world, the family, is under attack. The traditional family has been and is being re-defined by modern society. As fathers and mothers we must be willing to go to war to recapture and secure our God given tour-of-duty of being effective parents. Kevin Wayne Johnson is like a general giving marching orders and challenging his troops/parents for the fight. Kevin Johnson’s inspirational battle plans are boldly and clearly presented in his new book, The Godly Family Life. I highly recommend that all parents sign-up, re-enlist or even be drafted to review these battle plans and join in the fight for our families. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE.
- Dr. Larry Harris, author, “It All Starts at Home: 15 Ways to Put Family First” (Baker House/Revell) www.ItAllStartsatHome.com
Sad to say there are too many homes headed by single female parents, thus creating a huge “father-hunger” in our culture. Hence, there is an intense need to see God disclose Himself as “Abba” Father. Many fathers are unable to relate properly to their families because they have never had the model of their own father acted out properly before them. There are hurting, aching and struggling men, fathers with their own children and wives because of the bitterness they have from their early days of absent fathers. The role of father and mother has been beautifully presented in this book as God’s plan has been laid out in His Word, the Bible. Kevin Wayne Johnson is teaching us clearly and deliberately to “Give God the Glory!”
- Dr. Robert S. Davis, Sr., Covering Bishop, CELEBRATION CHURCH @ Columbia (MD), excerpt from FOREWORD
Book #7 (2010)
The Power in the Local Church
I have read “The Power in the Local Church.” It is really good and really powerful from a writing man of God. For example, the motive for Ruth to have the willingness to follow Noami was derived from her love for Noami. That love motivated her to go with Noami to help or serve her until she died. This is a true act of love and service that is consistently exemplified throughout this excellent and highly recommended book.
- Kap Khen Thang, World Theological College, Yangoo Myanmar (Burma)
Kevin Wayne Johnson has delivered a much needed and important look at this compelling issue. Bravo Kevin!
- Marilyn White, Publisher and Chief Executive Officer, Precious Times Magazine, www.precioustimesmag.com
Once again, Kevin Wayne Johnson has penned an outstanding book! It clearly explains what the Church is, its role in the Kingdom of God, and the power it has been given to operate on earth. The wisdom revealed in this book should be mandatory teaching for every person at the time or before they join a local church. It provides understanding of God’s Love, purposes, and desires for the Church, thereby allowing for us to operate on a much higher level.
- Stephanie L. Jones, Survivor, Speaker, Author & Sexual Abuse Victim Advocate, www.stephanieljones.com
Kevin Wayne Johnson delivers another powerful glimpse into his best-selling book series: Give God the Glory! A thorough look into the power that resides inside of the local church is clearly written and revealed in this book. A must read for all who sincerely desire to Give God the Glory while understanding the role of the local church in that regard.
- Willie Jolley, CSP, CPAE (Speaker Hall of Fame), Best Selling Author of “A Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback” and Host of the Willie Jolley Radio Show, on CBS-TV, PBS, XM Radio & WHUR-FM www.williejolley.com (Named “One of the Outstanding 5 Speakers In The World,” by Toastmasters International)
Where two or three are gathered there is power! The Power in the Local Church will teach you about the purpose of church and our roles as Christians. We must recognize that we are the church and the power is within us. Kevin Wayne Johnson has eloquently penned this book and it will help us to better understand our purpose and our power. Not only will this book inspire us, but it will allow our souls to grow.

A revelation is unveiled after flipping through the first ten pages of this book. Awesomely written, filled with wisdom, power, and instruction. I highly recommend this book!”
