New Book!

I’m excited to announce the release of Living in Calm Confidence: The Promise of Psalm 16. This brief book is the fruit of years of prayer, meditating on God’s Word, and waiting on Him. My prayer is that it will be a source of strength and peace to many.

It is available in paperback from the publisher, Amazon, Christianbook, Barnes and Nobel, and more.

It is available for free download on Kindle/eBook:

It is available in audio-book for free at Youtube, Spotify, and SoundCloud. Within the week it should be available also on Audible.

Three questions for you:

  • Would you be willing to purchase and/or download a copy and prayerfully read it?
  • Would you share this with friends by word of mouth and social media?
  • Would you give it a rating (and maybe even a review) on Amazon or Goodreads?

However you access the book, may its title become the reality of your own life in Christ!

Next Book News!

I’m excited to announce that Aneko Press has scheduled my next book’s release for January 1, 2025.

Living in Calm Confidence is through the editing and design phase and off to the printers as I type this line.

Join me in praying for God to prepare hearts for the message of this book and that it might be used to draw many into the peace that only Jesus offers. I’ll update you as we move toward its release date.

Book Release: 1 Peter for Pastors

I am delighted to announce the release of the fourth volume in my New Testament commentary series.

Steven J. Lawson of OnePassion Ministries says:

“Faithful expository preaching is the greatest need of our day. Careful exegesis and application is the greatest need of expository preaching. John Kitchen equips the expositor with the necessary tools to fulfill all of these needs with this work on I Peter. Faithful preachers everywhere will benefit from the depth of his study and the warmth of his pastoral application.”

Could I ask you to help me out?

  • I would love it if you would purchase a copy. You can do so at Amazon HERE.
  • I would really love it if you would do whatever you can to share the word about this with those who might be interested – link this post and send it to others, tell people about it, use other social media to get the word out.
  • I would really, really love it if you would give it a rating on Amazon.
  • I would really, really, really love it if you would write a review of it on Amazon.
  • I would really, really, really, really love it if you would also post that review on other websites like Goodreads, etc.

Revival in the Rubble — Malaysia

Through the kindness of PVM Harvest Ministries I have had the honor of preaching the hope of revival from the Old Testament book of Nehemiah all across both East and West Malaysia in 2009, 2011, and 2024. Based on my book Revival in the Rubble, we seek God’s reviving work in our lives and in our gathered fellowships. Here is the first message given earlier this year in Kuala Lumpur. The other messages in the series are available on the PVM Harvest Ministries YouTube channel.

Ministry of the Word in Malaysia

I’ve just returned from ministering God’s Word in a series of conferences across Malaysia (May 7-19). From Sibu, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu in East Malaysia to the busy city of Kuala Lumpur, I shared in Revival in the Rubble conferences and Encountering Christ conferences. I found people hungry for God’s Word and faithful shepherds tending their flocks. At every turn I was received warmly and richly blessed by the kindness, receptivity, and hospitality of the believers of Malaysia. Here are a few random pictures from each city and its ministry.
