becca_osborn 's review for:
An excellent book on what the spiritual gift of prophecy/proclamation is, what it looks like in a non-cooky way, how to use it, and how to continue to grow in said gifting. He takes a difficult topic and writes about it in a way it can be understood - and with examples!
One of the most important takeaways is that prophecy should always be given with grace. I think a lot of men/women feel they have the gift of the prophetic and use it to heart or "preach doom and gloom." Cooke helped me realize that this isn't necessarily the way things need to be done unless you are in a relationship with a person where this is okay. There are ways that we can prophecy or speak truth that preach more about comfort than doom.
The exercises are very helpful as well.
The reason I couldn't give this book 5 stars is because since it was released with a small publishing company, it needed another editor. If you can get past some wordiness and grammatical errors, the information in the book is fantastic. Cooke has done some good work.
I'd recommend this to anyone who feels like they might have the spiritual gift of prophecy/proclamation.
