In a world where we think we must please God, be better, and achieve more, Pastor John Kitchen brings us a refreshing--but heavy--reality: we can't. In our own ability, we are utterly and totally incapable of doing anything God has called us to do. We don't even have the power to change our worldly circumstances to something more pleasant. No matter how much we believe in ourselves, it's still the same. We can't. But what a blessing it is to know that God can.

John Kitchen is well aware of the mysterious ways of God.Though his family were unbelievers, a nearly tragic accident involving his father, sister and him lead his mother to begin seeking God. A few years later, his sister came to know Christ and led him to the Lord while he was in junior high school. Later, he sensed God's call to ministry and began training for His service. Today he is the senor pastor in a church in Ohio and has preached around the world.
