I don't think I have ever heard anyone say 'I really want to be a Prophet' but this book has to inspire any would be prophets and many who would think twice about voicing this desire. Though not thought of as a major gift essential for today's church nevertheless this book will open minds and hearts to the great need for wise and careful prophets who are close to God and can hear God and speak out truth and direction. I have to confess I had not thought so carefully about the gift of prophesy and the book took me some time to read, not because of any fault but because I needed to digest the importance of what was being said. Though some readers may find some of the theology a bit dogmatic the book is genuinely thoughtful, encouraging and scriptural. The book is very practical in its description of the gift of prophecy, how to develop a gift and how to discern and direct what is being said. The more I read, the more I felt the great need for outstanding prophets in our churches. If you have any slight aspiration to this great ministry read this book.
