Rating: Summary: THE CHURCH ON A PANAROMIC SCREEN ! Review: God is showing us a preview of what is about to come ! In fact He is graceful enough to prepare us for the future. He does this by providing visionary people. Rick falls into this rank. What used to be blurry, this is book spread open a clearer plan of God. The prophetic insight balances between visions and teaching, thereby reinforcing truth that sets the church to the right course in completing the purpose of God. It highlights areas the church must avoid and areas the church must pursue. Rick turn on a loud volume on the kind of the Spirit required to accomplish the Will of God. A major part of this book deals with the corporate church and Rick is sincere enough to help set the parameters on how the church should move in the wake of many challenges arise from this new millennium. Leadership is the determinant of breakthrough and success in ministry. God is serious about his leaders. The trademark of today's emerging leaders are predictable as their characteristic should be found consistent with biblical examples. This book tells you that the humble, teachable and above all, the most ordinary people are in the kiln process of preparation that will be used as God's vehicle of divine accomplishment. One of them would be sports men and women. I find it thrilling where certain part of this book, especially when concerning vision reads like a futuristic movie. Since God is progressive in his ways of dealing with people, the visions enshrined in this book will help many to look out for potholes and avoid spiritual jerks when entering into His future paradigm. Church, lets hop in and go for another exciting ride !

Rating: Summary: Are You Prepared For Him? Review: Rick Joyner has been given a heart to watch over the church, and this book points out many flaws, and strongpoints, that we need to focus on. The impressive thing is, Prophet Joyner does this without mentioning names or movements when they could be viewed in a destructive way. Mr. Joyner biblically handles correction of the believers, and he has a vision of where the church is headed. Church, hear what the spirit is SAYING!

Rating: Summary: Outstanding book! Review: This is a great book. Scripture is frequently quoted to support excellent and insightful views. The book was written just before Y2K and is remarkably correct in predicting what seems to be the current (2002) state of the US economy. If you are at all interested in the responsibilities and future of today's churches, this is a must read and must act guide.

Rating: Summary: On the cutting edge Review: This is the first book I've read by Joyner. I've heard a lot of good things about his writing - and I must say this book surpassed everything I expected from it. Undoubtedly, Joyner has his finger on the spiritual pulse of the church and is on the cutting edge of prophetic teaching. Not only does Joyner give prophetic warning and direction for the church in the near future, he also takes the time to subtlely address the growing need for the prophetic ministry and includes guidelines for operating in it. I, for one, have felt called to some aspect of prophetic ministry, and the contents of this book confirmed some of the revelation I have been graced to received from God and have encouraged me to continue my pursuit of God. I would recommend this book to any and every church leader who is able to relate to or operate in contemporary prophecy. It is enlightening and sobering. The Holy Spirit through Joyner reveals very graphic and definite mandates for the future of the church and the world. Very gripping and an extremely timely book for the church of the new millenium!
