The body of Christ desperately needs prophets to awaken and go forth. Whether you have never spoken a prophetic word or you actively engage your gift, best-selling author John Eckhardt provides an unparalleled, inspiring teaching for you. He boldly reveals the characteristics of a prophet that may lie dormant in your life so God can launch you into your calling. You will

For so long I just didn't understand myself. I didn't understand why I had such difficulties with church people and the church, I didn't understand why I was the way I am. This book will validate many, many people who are struggling with having the nature and gifting of a prophet.
While reading this book I found myself nodding and saying, "Yup, that happened to me!", "Oh man, I so had that experience!"
I love how Eckhardt says over and over again that "you're not crazy." (You don't know how many times people with this gifting wonder that!) He will make you realise that God made you this way, God made you special (everyone is, though apparently the prophet was made DIFFERENT), and there is really nothing wrong with you.
In fact, you have a very special and much-needed function in church. Unfortunately, not many people will understand you or what you do. Hell, some people will just downright dislike you for being YOU. Eckhardt's book prepares and affirms you as God's special creation, and to give you the boldness to be who God made you to be.
It doesn't, however, give you in depth instructions on how to exercise the gift. That needs another book altogether!
amazing amazing!! it's so simply written yet profoundly deep!! definitely a "must read" for anyone even with the remote sense they may be prophetic. lots of scripture!!
I was thoroughly impressed with the truth in this book. I read it in under twenty-four hours. I could not put it down. John Eckhardt captured the essence of the prophet's heart, calling, and struggle. He completely backed it up with scripture and laid it out plain and simple. I desperately needed a book such as this when I read it, and I was not sorry that I picked it up. If you are a prophet for the Lord, or suspect you may be one, this book will help you rise to the call. I highly recommend it for all prophetic types.
I had heard a lot about John Eckhardt and his teachings, so this is the second work I've purchased by him and I can't believe I didn't get material from him sooner. This book is like a directory of revelation for prophetic people. Every nugget is rooted in scripture, so by the time you read through a few pages, you don't even realize you've been reading large chunks of the bible. Prophet Arise is bold book.
This book will help you realize that your not pathetic but actually Prophetic. (Or the other way around). Love it! I've recommended it to friends and it has helped me and others realize the gift on the inside.
This was an amazing book to read about encouraging God’s Prophets for such a time as this in this generation (Esther 4:14). We prophets need prayer more now than ever because Jezebel is running rampant throughout the lands and she must be silenced and stopped. God bless You Holy Spirit for leading John Eckhardt to write this book. He couldn’t have done this without You. Thank you Prophet John Eckhardt. May God continuously bless your family and ministry.
This book has been life to me. As I study the word of God, revelation began to take place but as a new believer, I was unsure of certain things. Thank God, He would place people and things to cross your path to help with understanding. Good intro to understanding the prophetic.
Such a small book with so much to say. Having read other books by John Eckhardt I was not surprised by the depth of knowledge and revelation in this book. The prayers and confessions in the last few pages alone can be life changing.
I read many books by many authors. There are two books in the Christian genre that have left a lasting impression on my soul and changed my life. Approval Addiction by Joyce Meyers and now Prophet Arise.
Reading this book was like looking into a mirror. I am 36 years old and I have spent a good majority of those years trying to understand myself, accept myself, and make others understand and accept me. This book put my entire world in order. I now have an understanding of my gifts and why I "tick" like I do.
One of the most important books I have ever read in my life! I will be re-reading it again, and again for sure. It is truly a must read for every prophet!!!
To anyone that wants to learn and understand more about the essence of the prophetic gift, who are the prophets, how do they operate in their gifting - read it! I highly recommend it!
THIS BOOK IS EXCEPTIONAL. It is simple to understand and read and have numerous bible verses to support written text. It was easy to identify with text and compare writing with everyday lives. It benefits any Disciple of Christ.
Read this book. Pray from it. God Bless Apostle Eckhardt for writing it. If you have any inkling that you want to understand prophetic anointings & people, this is the book for you.
Being a Prophet is,not something you think you are. You wonder why certain things happen and why it seems you're always,in the middle. This book gave me clarity.
Very good book for those who have a prophetic bent. It's written less like a traditional book, and is more of a collection of brief thoughts. Because of that, it has a lot of nuggets and is great as a resource to come back to, but is a bit tedious to read. That said, it's very good, and I really want to read his other book on the topic.
I definitely picked this book up at the right time. It makes a lot of things make sense. If you think you have a prophetic anointing this book will clarify some things for you!
