It describes the many different types of prophets that are in the Bible and helps readers begin to paint a grid for where they could fit amongst those different types of prophets.

Today is a day of unparalleled times in the body of Christ. We have seen throughout this last century a restoration of so many things. This truly is a fulfillment of the scripture that Peter was speaking of in Acts 3:21, "A time when God restores all things." Yet, there is a principle of restoration that is clearly seen: The last thing lost is the first thing restored and the first thing lost is the last thing restored. This principle can be seen through history to be so true time after time. You can clearly see this in the teachings and experiences of salvation, baptism, etc. In this restorative process we have been awaiting two major issues: The restoration of the prophet and the restoration of the apostle. When these two offices are fully restored to the church, we will be ready for the great latter-day outpouring of the Holy Spirit as described in the book of Joel. It is clear that the day of restoration of the prophet has come! As in all cases of restoration, extremes have come with it. It is my clear desire, in the writing of this book, to bring an understanding and a balance during this time of the prophet's restoration. Many books have already been written regarding the prophetic, but often only covering certain aspects. My goal is to help create a balanced understanding therefore enabling the reader to understand the prophetic process and response.In this Expanded Version of Walking In The Prophetic, I have taken some of the key points to a higher level of understanding. Five new expansive writings and a new format have been brought to you.

Many people spend years of their life roaming around the mountain of confusion concerning their prophetic calling and are unable to fully apprehend their prophetic destiny. Knowing you are called as a prophet and then functioning as an office prophet are two different things. Once you have determined that you are indeed a prophet, you are then ready to discover where you are on your personal journey between the calling and the office. Realizing you are called as an office prophet is a life changing revelation and a significant part of your identity. Stepping into the office requires intentionality and focus.

Islam in Historical Perspective integrates history of Islamic societies with discussion of how Muslim scriptures, laws, moral values and myths have shaped lives and thought of individual Muslims and various Muslim communities from the rise of Islam until today.
