SAY TO ARCHIPPUS: Book Reviews

On 27 May 2015, SAY TO ARCHIPPUS was commissioned. Within one month, the print run of 1,000 copies was sold out. Needless to say, it caught us all by surprise. It wasn’t that we didn’t have faith in God; we just didn’t expect Him to move so fast!

I am greatly encouraged by how the Lord has been moving the books; not only in Singapore but also into different countries [Read SAY TO ARCHIPPUS travels beyond Singapore]. Yet, more than just number of copies sold, I am more interested in how hearts are impacted, stirred and awakened by the message of Archippus Awakening. To this end, I am happy to share the following reviews with you:

“I firmly believe this book is a trumpet call from God our Father to call His people back to His heart. Henson has written a very compelling and clear message based on Scriptures why we must be awakened, aligned and assigned. His heartbeat is God’s heartbeat for His Church – will we have an ear to hear what the Spirit of God is speaking at this hour!” – Grace Chua, Chapel of the Resurrection

“The message in SAY TO ARCHIPPUS resonates deeply with me… Praise God for anointing Henson with the boldness to put across the sense of urgency in stirring and awakening sleeping saints in these last days. The questions for Reflection and Discussion at the end of each chapter are particularly insightful. Saints, the trumpet is sounding, it’s time to break camp!” – Irene Chia, Cairnhill Methodist Church

“SAY TO ARCHIPPUS is a timely reminder for these last days. The meaning of Christian living has been eroding over the years and has often become a form of hollowed fossils, lacking the life exemplifying true freedom in Christ. Today, the sufficiency of God’s word is often undermined and the crippling plague of activity-centred Christianity with feel-good emotional hype has displaced the basic premise of loving God. Christianity is under siege from an over-emphasis of prosperity, exaggerated grace and selfish goals. This book nudges the reader to the fundamental truths in Kingdom living. It highlights the empowerment through God’s grace and the pointed call that Christians, who love God, will follow. It reveals the subtle difference between modern Christian mind-sets and God’s truth. Henson’s ministry is not typified by a single Moses leading masses, but through the empowerment of Christ and the royal priesthood of each Christian – he awakens us to the body-life calling.” – Tay Leng Phuan, Hakka Methodist Church 2015 Camp Chairman

“SAY TO ARCHIPPUS is a spiritual shofar encased in the pages of a revolutionary and revelatory book. It is a call to wake up, lace up and arm up! NOW is the Age of Archippus and each of us MUST be awakened out of our slumberous stupor to fulfill the unique ministry assigned to each of us. There is a race to be run and a prize to be won. These are perilous times we live in and there is an URGENT need for the saints to know and fulfil their God-given assignments in preparation for the return of the King of Glory. SAY TO ARCHIPPUS is a timely and much-needed prophetic clarion call. Let’s read and heed it.” – Anna D’Souza, Cornerstone Community Church

“I’m so glad SAY TO ARCHIPPUS was written and published. I am glad because, in it, Henson has shared part of his journey leading up to the launch of Archippus Awakening. I see the leading of God in that process – He’s left His fingerprints – and I’m convinced it’s God’s idea. I’m also glad to see a couple of chapters devoted to laying a Biblical foundation – something vital in any movement. It was also fun to read the more ‘prophetic’ aspects illustrated in military terms – something this Singaporean son was able to identify with. This book is a good primer on what Henson and his team have initiated under the Lord’s direction. But I think I am most glad that ‘the Kingdom of God’ and ‘movement’ are recurring themes in the book. Archippus Awakening is not about building another church/ministry but about how believers/churches/ministries can and should be concerned about building the Kingdom of God. This is the message that really resonates as troubled days approach. This book is, in a sense, a clarion call for believers to wake up, stop playing church and get busy fulfilling whatever God has assigned them to do for His Kingdom. Just like Archippus.” – Susheel John, Lead Pastor, Oasis Fellowship

“I am so thankful that God downloaded SAY TO ARCHIPPUS to Henson. As I read each page, it felt like God was talking to me personally. I was especially challenged by the knowledge that God’s Kingdom will advance no matter what. Henson uses a lot of army terms, and even for a female like me who didn’t go through National Service, the parallels are clear and easily grasped. In this day and age where we see society deteriorating at a fearful pace, this call is even more urgent. As one who now identifies as an Archippus, I cannot allow myself to be left out. I must align myself with God and be faithful to fulfil each assignment He graciously gives. Thank you again, Henson, for faithfully penning this down and blessing the Body of Christ.” – Trisha Khoo, Covenant Vision Christian Church

“SAY TO ARCHIPPUS is a crucial book for our time as God prepares his people for his return. This amazingly accessible book is written in a wonderful conversational tone, filled with clear thinking, laced with theological insight and written from the heart of one who seeks to be obedient to the assignment God has given him. You will be challenged but more so than that, this book has the potential to awaken your soul and stir your spirit to action. We live in a time where we spend much of our time and energies in busy activity. This book will provoke you to pursue and seek your assignment – an assignment, when obeyed, will ultimately bring glory to the Lord. Read it. Share it. Discuss it. And let the Spirit of God awaken and align you to his assignment.” – Rhordan Wicks, Senior Pastor, Full Gospel Assembly

“Every Christian has a role to fulfill in God’s Kingdom. Do you know yours? Henson’s book, SAY TO ARCHIPPUS, challenges us to reassess our spiritual journey, be awakened, aligned and assigned for the Kingdom’s work. Thank God for assigning this ‘movement’ to Henson. As I read through the book cover to cover, there are so many areas that resonate with me. What a blessing!” – Lucas Chow, Wesley Methodist Church

“Many Christians have indeed ‘reduced God to a mere problem-solver and Jesus to a best friend who bails us out of difficult times’. Failing to have a proper Kingdom perspective can really rob the believer of his inheritance and reward in Christ. This book exposes some erroneous premises and presumptions the average Christian makes such as equating his serving in church and consequent busyness as fulfilling God’s will for him. The message of this book is an important and urgent one and Pastor Henson does not mince his words in getting it across. This book has certainly challenged me to change some of my mindsets and whilst reading it, God even revealed to me my assignment, quite unexpectedly. I know what I need to do now. Thank you for bringing clarity and focus to my previously hazy concept of God’s will.” – Cynthia Lee, Ang Mo Kio Methodist Church
