About the Author:

My Review:
 If you are looking for a virtual guidebook to guide you after the calling into prophetic ministry, then this is the book for you. As the author so plainly shows us her experience, she had written this book only after searching for a book to explain what to do after God had spoken to her. But as she states she could only find ones that explained hearing God and that is when she knew she needed to write one herself. So this book is for those struggling with the notion on what to do next after embracing the fact that this is their calling.

 Many of the things the author notes my husband and I have applied to our situation, he being called in to the ministry as a pastor. I see alot of similarities in the calling process that we have had to endure in the past few years so I can definitely agree with many of the author's points. There were many prophets in the Bible for us to glean truth from. They weren't all the same but many of the ways God chose to work out their callings are similar.

 I know in our process, the timing has been very slow. It has been hard to have the patience and the perseverance to see it through. So much so that it will cause you to question it time and time again. I think the calling into any of the gifting's of the ministry are very serious ones and are not something that you should take lightly. Being called by God is a huge honor with unlimited possibilities!

**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from Chosen.
