Rich. Rebecca Monks has succeeded in giving us a book that is not only rich in dialogue regarding Biblical text, but one that illuminates how these inspired words may effect godliness in our daily lives. One of her introductory sentences captures the essence of this extraordinary volume when she says, “Ultimately, every chapter builds on one main theme: our crucial need for a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.” Chapter 7 alone—where she lavishly discusses the distinct promises that are connected to the many names of God— is reason enough to own this book, one I highly recommend.

Rebecca Monks, in her book Apostolic Identity and Integrity: Studies for Spiritual Enrichment, skillfully provides an inspirational challenge to all Christians to embrace and enhance one's God given identity and integrity.  In each chapter Monks gives easy-to-understand suggestions for the scriptural concepts she presents.  With her well laid out book, all excuses for not reaching the highest levels we desire to reach (but feel we can’t) are taken away.  This book provides a needed reminder of the call and purpose of a Christian.  For teachers, this book is an excellent Apostolic source for a series of lessons exploring Apostolic Identity and Integrity.  –Judy King

No matter how long you have lived for God, this book will challenge and inspire you. Rebecca Monks' heart, human insight, and biblical knowledge are seen and felt throughout his anointed read! --Lorraine Bertram

​

Living for God in the 21st Century is not for the faint of heart. All children of God of this generation must lay firm hold on both Integrity and Identity as found in Jesus Christ. This book is rich in insight, well-applied scripture, and thought and is a needed addition to any Apostolic library. In just one very arresting moment of this book, written to all that are aboard this 'Ship of Zion'—"This is not a cruise ship baby..."  –Larry L. Booker

​

Rebecca argues the elements of our identity—how we think of ourselves and what authoritatively informs who we think we are—influences our integrity, how we act. She bridges these two topics by utilizing, examining, and applying relevant theological underpinnings to her thesis. The content is weighty with prose readable and relatable. Her professional background as a Professor of English coupled with spiritual wisdom and scriptural acumen provides the reader with opportunity for reflection and growth. Her treatise is thought provoking and inspirational in that her aim powerfully projects movement forward for anyone desiring to achieve more with their lives. –Kevin Bradford

In his classic work The Story of Civilization, Will Durant makes mention of the glory of Philosophy being superior to the glory of Military victories. Philosophy is more lasting and more enduring than the current news and issues of the present.  The works of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle live on, and the victories of Napoleon have faded in relevance. Every generation needs philosophy to engage their world and succeed. There is no greater philosophy than the Bible. The truths revealed in Holy Scripture are as relevant today as at any time in history. In truth, it is even more relevant as technology, science, and innovations evolve. In this brilliant work, Rebecca Monks has given immensely valuable instructions on how to navigate the waters of this new millennium. 


The challenges of this era need revelatory insight to these pressing issues. Ms. Monks has presented valuable, practical solutions in an easy to read and understand format. She has grappled with the most complex issues of us humans, and made them easy to understand and apply. Her style is engaging and refreshing. You will be drawn into real life circumstances and she will gently lead you through the quagmire of current confusion. This is a must read for anyone wanting a Biblical perspective on life in today's world. –Ken Bow
