Prophetic Ministry

The Lifestyle of a Prophet

By:  James W. Goll

Publisher:  Chosen

ISBN #:  9780800795368

Pages:  277

James W. Goll writes about the heart of a prophet in his book, The Lifestyle of a Prophet.  He makes many points about the prophetic calling and takes an in-depth look into the lifestyle that he illustrates in three categories:  intimacy, wisdom, and revelation.  The author also designed this book as a 21 day journey designed to draw the reader closer to God.  At the end of each chapter, questions and a prayer are featured in order for the reader to reflect on their relationship with God.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing more about the prophetic calling and anyone who is involved in prophetic ministry as it seems this book is geared towards those individuals with experience in this type of ministry.  The author also illustrates stories of his experiences in the prophetic ministry.  I found this read to be very insightful about the prophetic ministry and look forward to reading other works by this author.

Please comment below if you have read any books by this author or are interested in the topic of prophetic ministry; I would love to read your thoughts.

Happy Reading!  J

A New Children's Read!

Can’t Wait Willow

By:  Christy Ziglar

Illustrations By:  Luanne Marten

Publisher:  Ideals Children’s Books

ISBN #:  9780824956486

Pages:  32

This is a great story for children about making good decisions.  This tale will take your child through the adventurous day of Willow and all of the choices that she had to make in that day.  I found this story to be a very good and fun learning tool for children ages 5-8 years old on how to make good decisions.  The author, Christy Ziglar, notes a statement in the beginning of the book, ‘Sometimes you have to say no to the good to say yes to the best,’ a quote by Zig Ziglar that really sets the tone for the entire story. 

Christy Ziglar makes this an interactive read for children as well as creates a character that is a joy to follow throughout the story.  The illustrations are also very vibrant, colorful, and detailed.  Needless to say, I would recommend this book to every parent who has a child from the ages of 5-8.  This is a great read that I think children would enjoy reading time and time again.

One Way Love:  Inexhaustible Grace For An Exhausted World

By:  Tullian Tchividjian

Publisher:  David C. Cook

ISBN #:  9780781406901

Pages:  236

What is grace?  Tullian Tchividjian gives his views on grace and how the world needs to be reintroduced to grace.  Mr. Tchividjian makes the point that this world is driven by performance.  Performance can lead to perfectionistic behavior in us.  He points out that the focus should be on God and less on our own circumstances.  Tchividjian’s views are accompanied by personal insights and stories that really give understanding to the reader.  I can say that I found my eyes opened by his view of grace.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I would greatly recommend this to everyone.  I believe this book will give greater understanding to grace and how it affects us all.  This is a great and encouraging read and I look forward to reading other books from this author. 

Let me know if you have read this book or find the subject of this book interesting.  I would love to read your thoughts.

Happy Reading!  J
