Recommendations For

The Transforming Society Book 

When I gave my life to Christ I gave it all—I gave myself, my family and my business. God’s plan is to renew every part of life; moreover God deserves to be glorified in every sphere of life. Brett Johnson’s Transforming Society is an incredible tool that will help you to honour Christ with everything you are and all you have. It is filled with Godly revelation, balanced with substantial research, and capped-off with practical and useful tools and insights. I highly recommend it!

The truth shall set you free. To see the Kingdom of God come to earth as it is in heaven we need to see God's anointed leaders empowered. God is not a man to give responsibility without authority. God has given you natural authority, he has also released spiritual authority for you. Read this book and be set free to become all you were created to be, leaders with authority who will establish His kingdom. Brett has a deep understanding and revelation of who we are in Christ and how to walk in the fullness of our redeemed nature.

Some years ago I worked for 12 months in two poor townships in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and I saw the need for transformation of societies through all the different community spheres. After reading Brett’s book, Transforming Society, I can recommend this as one of the first books that effectively identifies and addresses the makeup of society and the role each of us can play in building God’s Kingdom though our spheres. Congratulations, Brett—what an amazing book!

Brett’s ability to be both practical and pursue the supernatural intervention of heaven are both evident in this book. None of us can be content with just attending church. Brett once again gives us tools to step outside the church and pursue a transformed society.

Transforming Society takes the reader from the “doom-and-gloom” theology of the past, into the exciting world of Kingdom possibilities. Brett Johnson uses his insights as an accountant to add significant value to the current interest in the field of Faith, Work and Economics (FWE). His unique contribution is the way he helps his reader to gain insights into what a transformed economy should look like and in the process, he unpacks the biblical wisdom of concepts such as the value of labor, asset development, risk mitigation and capital transformation. But he does this in an imminently readable manner that brings the scriptures to life, even to those who have never read economics! With practical examples of actual experiences from all over the world, Brett provides a holistic blueprint that challenges the church to seriously rethink its core mandate of disciple-making. This is a book that should appear on all future FWE syllabi!

This book makes compelling reading. It is strategic, prophetic - and utterly relevant. It addresses the critical contemporary issues of our day head-on and does so in a positive and empowering way. It is also refreshing to find a healthy and balanced focus on transformation, wealth creation and restoration – skillfully stretching our understanding and application of the commissions of Christ as an ecclesiastic community at work. But then Brett’s approach is also strategic and practical. He delicately guides the reader through well-structured outlines, enabling us to be effective as well as relevant in these times. He does not ignore the past, but rather helps us grasp the present in the context of where we come from and where we are going. Brett furthermore provides the necessary tools and skills to make us the change agents Jesus has redeemed us to be.

However, this book is also prophetic. Brett takes us into the future with a clearer understanding of the Bible. He sees the purpose of humanity as clearing the congested wells of our society to release a fresh flow of life-giving water. He does not present us with a delineated, candy-coated or franchised (read ‘canned’) version of the Great Commission, but with a Christ-centered Gospel that reflects the heart of Jesus, To let Heaven be governed from Earth.

Well done, Brett. Your book should be on the reading list of all forward-thinking Christians.
