The Modern Seer: A biblical gift in today's context
Jim Driscoll's book, The Modern Seer, is very practical and a much needed guide to help people develop and understand the seerprophetic gifting. He reveals God's hidden language of metaphor and symbolism in deep yet simple ways. The practical exercises make this a true handbook that you will refer to again and again. --Doug Addison - Author of Prophecy, Dreams, and EvangelismI am excited that The Modern Seer is soon to be in print. There has been a plethora of books written over the last twenty years regarding the revelatory gifts of the Holy Spirit for today. Jim's book stands out for several excellent reasons. First, it is Biblically based. So much of what has recently been written is highly subjective with little Bible to help the average person understand true foundations for having spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear. Secondly, I applaud Jim's focus on the priesthood of every believer. It is everyone's birthright, who belongs to Christ Jesus, to be led by the Spirit. Jim has done an excellent job at both de-mystifying revelation and putting it in hands of everyday Christians. Thirdly, this book does not consist of merely rehashing popular insights regarding revelation. Many of Driscoll's points are both fresh and extremely helpful. For example, chapter 9, which discusses how deeply God values kindness and the Biblical relationship of kindness with seeing and applying revelation will prove to be of immense help to many who are both starting out in revelation and those who are experienced in it. Thank you, Jim, for writing this! It will encourage, train, and safeguard many, many people in the years ahead. --Marc A. Dupont - Mantle of Praise Ministries, Inc.Jim Driscoll's book, The Modern Seer, is an excellent resource in this season for both spiritual leadership and those called to be seers. Jim shares incredible insight to the function and maturation process of the seer. This book strengthens one's understanding of the realm of the spirit and will help hone your interpretive skills. Jim's experience, wisdom, and understanding have been personally valuable to me. For those who desire deeper knowledge of the things of the Spirit, you need to read this book! --Aaron Evans - The Emerging Daniel Company InternationalI am excited that The Modern Seer is soon to be in print.
