A Word of Warning, Feb 19 2001
By Wade - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Road to Reality (Paperback)
K.P. Yohannan is a threat to hypocritical Christianity, but be warned before you read this book: you will not escape unscathed. With a focus on saving the lost that is both singleminded and pure of heart, K.P. rips through every pretense of the American Christian experience. He also rips through the wheat to reveal the tares. This book is a wonderful witness to a specific calling within the Christian body. I am fully convinced that he is right to expect us to aid him in his calling, but if God is using you, for His will, in any other area than missions to the lost of Asia, do not expect K.P. to acknowledge your vision or encourage you in it. Read the book; let it change your life; follow K.P.'s every footstep if that is your calling; let God shake you out of compromise and shallow Christianity. Just remember, ask God for His wisdom, that you will follow His will and not man's, not ANY man's: not yours, not mine, not K.P.'s. If you've never heard of K.P.'s Gospel For Asia, by the way, for $30 dollars a month you can support a missionary in Asia. All funds go directly to missionary support. There is no percentage taken away for administration work! You can contact them at 1-800-WIN-ASIA or www.gfa.org. Even if you don't buy the book, decide today to support one or more missionaries and make a change for God in the lives of people who have never heard the name of Christ.

Writing that Puts Fire Into Your Heart, Nov 15 2005
By Roy Ingle "The Seeking Disciple" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Road To Reality: COMING TO JESUS FROM AN UNREAL WORLD (Paperback)
There are few books that I would say really bring strong convition into my heart to the point that I simply put the book down in utter repentance as I see myself in the light of what the author is showing me from Scripture. This is one of those books.
Along with the likes of giants such as A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, Samuel Chadwick, John Wesley, and others, K.P. Yohannan is a solid biblical exhorter calling the Church to her knees. Yohannan is not ashamed of the gospel (Romans 1:16) and he boldly proclaims the truth no matter what may happen to him.
This book will open your heart to your own self-centeredness, your wastefulness, and your pride. The book is aimed at Western Christians (particularly Americans since Yohannan now lives in the United States). The book takes aim at our focus on things that do not matter in the Church such as buildings, salaries, cars, expensive food, shelter, and clothing. Yohannan believes that the Church in the West needs to see the urgent call to world evangelism (Matt. 28:19). His writing is not for the weak or feeble minded "Christian" but for the true disciple ready for the Lord to cut his heart with His Word (Hebrews 4:12).
Overall this is an excellent work on world missions and on holy living (2 Peter 3:10-14).

K.P. sends a real challenge to N. American Christians, April 25 2000
By "kmille99" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Road to Reality (Paperback)
K.P. Yohannan doesn't mince words in this powerfully annointed book. He challenges our comfortable Christian lives as we have separated what we do from what we know. Christians in America *say* they believe the Bible, but somehow manage to ignore the call to sacrificial living. Jesus said "sell your possesions and give to the poor." The author shares a convicting message that is scripturally sound.
