As they grow in this unique calling, the Body of Christ will indeed be blessed."With piercing accuracy, this book will not only grant sanity to prophetically gifted people, but it will give a measure of peace to pastors in their quest to relate to strongly gifted prophets."--Dr. James W. Goll, Encounters Network; author, The Coming Prophetic Revolution and The Seer"This book ought to be a required manual for both churches and the emerging prophets within them."--John Loren Sandford, co-founder, Elijah House Ministries; author, The Elijah Task and Elijah Among Us"Because the messenger is the message and the prophet is the prophecy, this book is a must-read for the Church at large and for all called by God to be His prophetic spokespeople. It is a classic and will prove an invaluable, lifelong tool to many who desire to know God's voice and ways."--Marc A. Dupont, Mantle of Praise Ministries, Inc.R.
