I have been following Elizabeth Kendal since her conversion in the late 1970s and watched her form her convictions that shaped her reformed theological outlook. She is able to perceive the need of our generation and then applied herself 'to stand in the gap' (Ezekiel 22:30) as a solitary and courageous ambassador of Christ.
Her instrument of communication is her pen and prayer is her means for change. I have nobody else to look to that can give me measured, highly disciplined and clear analysis of the Christian advancement of the kingdom of God 'on earth as it is in heaven'. The suffering of saints (Christians) is well stated, the struggles of the church are perceptively understood and the international geopolitical machinations are clarified and made understandable. She is never overwhelmed with pessimism but establishes the realism of our situation in the now world. She is able to draw from history, which allows us to remember that it is God that is upon the throne of heaven and earth. There is no vitriol in her writing but the application of the means of grace in the Lord Jesus Christ is our best solution to these otherwise overwhelming problems. Elizabeth always has a way of pointing us practically to the means of grace in true prayer and faith in the True and Living God of the Scriptures. She does not resort to mere politics or takes sides in politics but is guided by her theological framework that is first of all textually biblical and secondly thoroughly doctrinally and principally biblical.
Last night I finished reading 'Turn Back the Battle' and was again refreshed by her message. I do not know of another work that has this kind of approach. Religious Liberty is Elizabeth's passion not because she joins a movement (she stands as 'a pelican in the desert' and is extremely isolated) that is set-up for 'religious liberty' but because as an individual she is driven by biblical principles that comprehensively condemns 'gain sayers' that are in the so-called 'human rights' business that are totally anti-Christian and revealed as being entirely prejudiced and are politically compromised, Elizabeth is a stand-alone but ambassadorial.
A first-time reader of Elizabeth Kendal, this book spends a lot of time in the biblical text of Isaiah, which might be for some a little bit ponderous, but it is foundational to her book and must be comprehended as the practical implications of the text flow into her apologetic of the geopolitical situation of our time, in which the Christian church, the true body of Christ, is in the primary place as hard as that is.
