<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Jesus never said 'Seek first' about any pursuit or purpose except the kingdom of God; God's kingdom on earth--His cosmic initiative--has the authority and power to transform our culture, first within us and then around us, igniting the world with the kingdom gospel and leading to the greatest harvest the world has ever seen"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Jesus never said Seek first about any pursuit or purpose except the kingdom of God.<p>But the church has essentially abandoned this central message, so that kingdom realities have become lost to us. Our neglect has been costly, because God's kingdom on earth--His <i>cosmic initiative</i>--has the authority and power to revolutionize our culture. This transformation occurs first within us and then around us, igniting the world with forgiveness, healings, miracles, righteousness, and peace.<p>The reason most people today do not <i>seek</i> the kingdom is that they have not seen it. Once they truly see it, they seek and follow the remarkable vision they have glimpsed. This is because discovering the kingdom is not just information but an adventure in revelation and transformation.<p>Well-known speaker and kingdom-seeker Jack Taylor invites us to be reintroduced to the kingdom of God and to experience the recovery of the kingdom gospel--leading to kingdom power, kingdom love, and the greatest kingdom harvest the world has ever seen.</p></p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>The Kingdom Is Coming!</b> <br><i>Cosmic Initiative</i> has captured the heart and message of Jesus in a way that will capture your heart and transform your life.... --Bill Johnson, <br> Senior Leader, Bethel Church <br> Here is a book you won't be able to put down....

Thank God for the Kingdom and for Jack Taylor's revelation of it! --Charles Carrin <br> Charles Carrin Ministries, Boynton Beach, FL<br><br>Jack Taylor's first book, <i>The Key to Triumphant Living</i>, was the very first book I was given that gave understanding and revelation that there was much more to the Christian life and relationship with Jesus than what I was currently experiencing. Since that day, Jack Taylor's books, teachings, and writings have been a guide to me in a remarkable, transformative journey that is beyond anything I could have imagined. <br> It is with great joy that I recommend Jack Taylor's book <i>Cosmic Initiative</i> as the crowning achievement of his life of revealing the heart of God to His creation. This deep yet clear revelation of the centrality of the Kingdom of God to all that He is about in this world will assist you in getting the big picture of the Father's heart and purposes for us, which are much grander and more powerful than we could ever imagine. I will be including this book as required reading in our school here at Global Awakening, and I recommend it highly to you! --Mike Hutchings, DMin, ThD <br> Director, Global School of Supernatural Ministry and <br> Director, Global Healing and Prophetic Certification Programs <br> The Apostolic Network of Global Awakening<br><br>Too often, the books we read are like a trickle from a clear, cool spring; we drink from them and are a little refreshed, a little less thirsty, but are left knowing that only more can satisfy. In contrast, reading <i>Cosmic Initiative</i> is like standing under the deluge of Niagara Falls! There is so much revelation to take in at once. One must revisit the pages pouring from the eternal, gushing river flowing from the Father's throne. Who could be trusted to pen the heart of eternity's Initiator? Who could sit before the expanse unfettered by time and space to describe the boundless Kingdom? And what could possibly describe God's intent? Jack Taylor is that man. <i>Cosmic Initiative</i> is that book. Are these words too great, too much, even overreaching? Only if Jack Taylor is less than I know him to be. Only if <i>Cosmic Initiative</i> is less than what heaven demanded. --Brian Higbee <br> Author, <i>Living the Kingdom Life</i> <br> Senior Leader, CityChurch, Connellsville, PA<br><br>Twenty-five years ago, I was struggling to pastorally lead the church toward cultural relevance and gospel impact. A man who is deeply loved and admired humbly advised me that the only way to be consistently relevant was to seek and find the Kingdom. He was right! Today, I lead an international mission organization challenged by multicultural environments in more than seventy countries. Jack Taylor's advice those many years ago served to prepare me for this assignment. May Cosmic Initiative produce in you the same insatiable hunger that all "Kingdom adventurers" share for comprehending and agreeing with God's eternal rule and reign.--Bill Snell <br> President, Missionary Ventures, International<br><br>When I read <i>Cosmic Initiative</i>, it made me realize how blessed I am to call Jack Taylor my friend. Here is a book you won't be able to put down, because it focuses on things that matter when it comes to the Christian faith. It is written by a person who loves Jesus Christ, is unashamed of the Holy Spirit, and whose sole aim in life is to glorify God. Every sentence mirrors this commitment. Every sentence will draw you closer to God. --R. T. Kendall <br> Author of sixty books <br> Former Senior Minister, Westminster Chapel, London<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jack R. Taylor's </b>name has become synonymous with the message of the kingdom of God and the Spirit-filled life. He served for nearly seventeen years as pastor of the Castle Hills First Baptist Church, San Antonio, Texas, where God moved in revival, with an estimated two thousand people saved in the first six months. Since then, as president of Dimensions Ministries, Jack has pursued an itinerant ministry that has lasted almost forty years. Jack is a graduate of Hardin-Simmons University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and he received an honorary doctorate from St. Thomas Christian College in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to <i>Cosmic Initiative</i>, he is the author of thirteen books, including the best-selling <i>The Key to Triumphant Living</i>, with one million copies in print. <br> Jack has two children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. He and his first wife, Barbara, were married for more than forty-seven years until she succumbed to cancer in 2001. In 2002, he married Jerry, who passed away after her own battle with cancer. Since 2004, Jack has been married to Friede, who travels and ministers with him. <br> Jack is currently working with his son, Tim, to develop a network of spiritual sons and daughters across the world. For most of his ministry, Jack has instinctively fathered spiritual children in the ministry, counseling and encouraging young men and women to seek and expand the kingdom of God; today, some two hundred people formally consider Jack Taylor their spiritual father and are connected to him through Sonslink, a ministry committed to modeling the biblical father-son paradigm. Jack and Tim continue to explore and expound on this paradigm as the most significant relationship in the kingdom of God, believing it to be the context for abundant living as well as kingdom expansion. <br>
