Prophetic Ministry: A Classic Study on the Nature of a Prophet

Rating:
Summary: Great teaching on the Prophetic
Review: In a day when we have reduced the role of a prophet to just personal prophecies instead of the biblical call of one who speaks the word of God to his generation. This and John Bevere's "Thus saith the Lord?" are two of the best books I've read on this subject. This is a must read for anyone who is wondering if they are called to the prophetic ministry or are wondering what the ministry of a true prophet of God looks like.

Summary: Lack of Focus
Review: This book starts off rather strong regarding the prophetic ministry, but only for a little bit. About half way through, the book veers off course, and by the end of the book, I believe it almost completely shipwrecks, with very little left to salvage. The end of the book seems to become more dedicated to some odd flavor of dispensationalism, and one almost forgets they are reading a book about prophetic ministry. I was expecting much more from Sparks.
