Summary: Has great points, but is lacking a scriptural foundation.
Comment: This is a great book for those who are grounded in and familiar with the gift of prophecy and the prophetic ministry. If the reader is unfamiliar with the fact that God still speaks today, he/she is most likely to never want to be a part of the prophetic ministry after reading this book. The book does a fair though sometimes un-biblical job of explaining when God isn't speaking through someone, but really doesn't explain positive examples of prophecy. Bevere does a wonderful job of explaining how Idolatry in the heart can taint words from God as well as other flags that prophetic people should be watching for in their lives. But over all he paints a negative picture of the ministry today, and many people will pick this book up and throw the baby out with the bath water. If you are looking for a good book on how God speaks today through his Church and through people, I would suggest that you pick up Jack Deere's Surprised By The Voice of God. It is much more scholarly and more scriptural centered. I believe that Deere is also releasing another book in early 2001 titled A Beginners Guide To Prophecy, though I haven't read this book, it will most likely have the same sound biblical context that this ex-Dallas Theological Seminary professor brings to all his books.
John Bevere is an incredible author/speaker/minister, but this isn't one of his better books. I would recommend rather his other great titles like Fear of The Lord and The Bait of Satan.

Summary: Inspired no doubt...
Comment: This is a wonderful work by a modern day church prophet, John Bevere. He holds nothing back in this book concerning the role of the prophet, and prophetic in the Church. A good book for the church at large and extra helpful for those who have a prophetic gifting in the Lord to keep aware of the possible deception that the false prophet might have on a congregation, and as a warning to those who are prophetic of things satan will do.
Rating: 5
Summary: Thoughtful, biblical, timely, inspired
Comment: I read a friend's copy of this book and intend to buy one for myself for regular reference. The author has courageously dealt with an issue that many will rather leave untouched - false prophecies and false prophets. We all need to read it, the Bible encourages us to test all things, and that's what John Bevere tries with this book to equip us to do. And more than anything set believers free to know that they don't have to receive every 'word' that comes for fear of 'grieving' the Holy Spirit. As he rightly points out, accuracy is not enough, does the Spirit of God witness to it? Is the presence of God there? I come from a country where even the heathen and spirit worshippers give accurate predictions, but we know they are not of God. Christians must read this book, because many are living under the bondage brought upon their lives by false prophecies. It's time we woke up, and honour the gifts of the Father instead of distorting and misusing them. The responsibility lies with the believer to test what he receives and to learn to hear the voice of the Lord for himself. Thank you John Bevere for this book, it was a timely read for me as I am sure it will be for many who read it.
