Prophet, Arise

For so long I just didn't understand myself. I didn't understand why I had such difficulties with church people and the church, I didn't understand why I was the way I am. This book will validate many, many people who are struggling with having the nature and gifting of a prophet.

While reading this book I found myself nodding and saying, “Yup, that happened to me!”, “Oh man, I so had that experience!”

I love how Eckhardt says over and over again that “you're not crazy.” (You don't know how many times people with this gifting wonder that!) He will make you realise that God made you this way, God made you special (everyone is, though apparently the prophet was made DIFFERENT), and there is really nothing wrong with you.

In fact, you have a very special and much-needed function in church. Unfortunately, not many people will understand you or what you do. Hell, some people will just downright dislike you for being YOU. Eckhardt's book prepares and affirms you as God's special creation, and to give you the boldness to be who God made you to be.

It doesn't, however, give you in depth instructions on how to exercise the gift. That needs another book altogether!
