​Jennifer LeClarire's book, The Making of A Prophet, is exciting if you have an inkling that you are prophetically gifted. Regardless of whether you have this suspicion or not, this book has a lot to teach anybody who fellowships within a prophetic community. Jennifer is a very busy lady and has written this book out of years of varied experiences in the secular world and church ministry. She is an Editor at Charisma magazine, is heavily involved in local and itinerant ministry, and writes prolifically, online and in print. She is a Prophet and Revivalist, and much more. She is a wealth of information, testimony and wisdom.

​Robert Hotchkin has, indeed, exposed the often undetected spirit of Leviathan in his book, Leviathan Exposed. This exposure has already had a profound impact on the Kingdom of God. In this hour, chaos and confusion have overtaken many relationships that were once havens of love and acceptance. This book is essential reading for any frontline Kingdom worker. It can shed light in darkness and can prevent the destruction of well-situated, godly relationships that are oblivious to Leviathan’s existence and agenda.

Do you belong? Belonging is a wonderful feeling. Not belonging is a desolate feeling. It is worse if you try to belong, but don’t fit in and feel unwanted. Derek Prince estimates that the majority of Americans are living with the pain of rejection. He defines rejection as "the sense of being unwanted.”  His book on this topic, entitled God’s Remedy for Rejection, is 
an offer of healing and hope to the many people afflicted in this painful epidemic.

​Scripture memorization gives you super powers! The payoff is phenomenal. One good well-memorized verse has no expiration date and can be used like an endless supply of arrows in your quiver. Jesus kept the enemy at bay with His sharp scriptural retorts to Satan's temptations. This is why there is so much spiritual opposition to our "hiding the word in our hearts" (see Psalm 119:11). Doing so requires persistence, determination and consistency, resulting in a high attrition rate for many well-meaning Christians.  Peggy Joyce Ruth wrote Psalm 91: Real-Life Stories of God’s Shield of Protection to motivate us to persist. She has seen that memorizing this chapter can be a matter of life and death.

To be honest, when I began to read this book, I was already a believer. In angels, that is.

​That's why I purchased the book; the title intrigued me. Working with angels sounded like a good thing to do. I wanted to know more about this interesting concept. I thought that angels just kind of showed up when things were really, really desperate.

​I sometimes wondered if kind strangers were angels. I thought that such speculation as this was open-minded and rare. A full volume of angelic stories later, I see now that my view was actually quite limited. There is a lot more to angels than most of us understand.

​There was a time when I didn't understand or even think about healing. I had been in a car accident when I was in my early twenties, and my back was injured as a result of whiplash. Still, I didn't think about healing. I thought instead about enduring. 

Over time and through four pregnancies, the condition worsened. I lived in chronic middle back pain, and the end of my pregnancies had been difficult to endure. I saw a chiropractor about twice a week. I also had carpal tunnel syndrome from pinched nerves in my neck. It was at the point where my wrists ached and my typing accuracy was so low that it took several times the normal time to send an email. My concern for my future increased as the situation deteriorated. But never did I think that God would heal me.

It doesn't matter if you live far, far away from the enviable libraries of large prophetic churches. Even on a budget, you can have a diet of rich, challenging, nurturing reading written by prophetic mentors around the world. Find some friends who share your interests and share your libraries.

The Worship Warrior, Chuck D. Pierce

I was the mother of young children and was exhausted from trying and fighting to succeed at even the simplest things. My children were sick a lot, my house was a disaster zone, and our lives seemed chaotic. For example, my children would fall off of their beds, hit their heads on coffee table corners and run into ceramic sinks, requiring stitches. I remember sitting in my kitchen one evening and looking up to see my sweet little blonde-haired, blue-eyed three year old standing in the doorway. Blood gently streamed from a gash in her forehead. As I grabbed a towel and held it to her head, I remembered a time that I had done the same with my little brother when we were children.

​Alice needed encouragement. For decades she had prayed for her husband. She was at church several days a week. The closest he got to the arched front door was when he occasionally dropped her off or picked her up. She was a faithful prayer warrior. Still, nothing changed. Even the most stalwart prayer warriors in the church were at a loss. Years and years had passed. Many people would have given up, but Alice did not.

The title to this book intrigued me. Becoming The Master’s Key sounded like it should go on my to-do list. So I began the book. I finished the book straight through. This, in itself, says a lot. Most of the books I read are read in snippets. One chapter the first night, another the next, another a week or even three months later. This book held my attention because I read to see how far along I was in the spiritual process that the book explains. Then I kept reading to see what was next. 

The Kendrick Brothers have been busy for years. What began as a church-involved project has grown to become a top-grossing film production company. They started with a low-budget “faith-based” Christian film named Flywheel back in 2003. Its mild success led to Facing The Giants in 2006, then Fireproof in 2008, each movie increasingly popular. Courageous, after a $35 million worldwide box office run, premiered at the #1 selling DVD in the U.S. in 2011.

Way back in May, my friend Barb was excited. She was going to a conference in Oregon on the other side of the country. She told me all about it at IHOP (as in pancakes) over breakfast the following week.

If you're a dreamer and yearn to understand your dreams, save your pennies to buy this book. I first learned about this author by taking a dream interpretation DVD class taught by her through Wagner Leadership Institute. That class changed my life. I learned through the class that our dreams are usually symbolic and literal interpretation can be misleading.
