Understanding Prophetic People: Blessings and Problems with the Prophetic Gift Paperback – June 1, 2007

Book helped us so much through the dark night of the soul. If Prophet Sanford didn’t write this book we would of possibly never made it. I cannot put a price on how Prophet Sanford’s book helped us. You need this book if your called to the prophetic. Very informative and for this truly called to the office it’s not about the gifts it’s the process you have to go through with God to be formed into His vessel. Words cannot describe the dark depths God will take you through to scrape off you all the fleshy evils that hide behind our gifts or anointing or whatever shiny outside manifestation we walk in. When it was announced over us recently that it was over our 3 year dark night of the soul we cried. It was the most transforming time of our lives and the hardest thing we have ever gone through but this book will help you through it. Don’t be naive, God will put you through the fire you couldn’t even imagine but when it’s done !!!! Glory to God

I have read quite a number of books on the prophetic, many good and many downright horrible. I have to honestly say that this book is one of the best, if not the best I have read so far. It answered many questions I didn't even know I had. It clarified many things about me. Many painful but loving truths. I never craved the prophetic, nor would I ever recommend it to anyone. IF you think the prophetic is where God called you or you have to put up with a prophetic person, read this book before you read any other. We need more men like R Loren Sanford to help purify the prophetic and lead the way. He is a true humble pioneer.

I never knew I needed to know what is written in the pages of this book. For years I always wondered why I felt the way I did and asked God to deliver me thinking something was wrong. I didn’t understand my own self until the Lord led me to this book. It has really changed my life and helped to accept the calling of God on my life.

Not easy to concentrate this kind of knowledge to a few words. Best way to catch on to this special gift is to get the book, slowly read and maybe start a discussion group among your friends. That's what I have done a couple of times and it is always appreciated!

From the time I saw this book I knew the Spirit of God had drawn me to it, I purchased it along with several others that His Spirit had drawn me to, and wow! This book ministered to me in this season of transition! I really encourages those that walk in the Office a Prophet (myself included) to read this book. The way the author described his feelings throughout his spiritual walk; especially prior to knowing he is a prophet really ministered to me on a personal level.Another blessing and a pleasant surprise was the fact that his father is the author of the Elijah Task which I just finished reading and that book changed my life! Then to come behind it with a watering of this book Prophetic People really stirs a deeper defining of the calling and purpose.I don't want to share the specifics of this book because it is really a must read book, but I will say this: Loren Sandford's gifting to minister to prophets is recognized and confirmed in this book!God bless him and his Dad for the contributions to the Body of Christ through their obedience!Simple TruthSimple Truth Too: Understanding the Bible In Everyday LifeCatch A Falling Star

the author's characterization of a 'wilderness' phase in the life of a believer can cause one to realize how important it is for Jesus to actively bring men to terms with the purposes He spoke into them. in retrospect, such phases can be recognized as the most significant time frames in the timelines of believers--just as it has been for Israel. so the process can become intensely personal as manifestations of bitterness, confusion, anger and fear are being purged out. but such consciously undesirable expressions expose the self one must leave behind, buried in the sand. all the while, the flesh will struggle against the action of emotional discomforts. ultimately, believers must learn how to rest in the LORD, and eat the Bread of Life from His hand.Understanding Prophetic People: Blessings and Problems with the Prophetic Gift

Loren Sanford has done it again.He has stuck his neck out with insights from the trials and refining fire of God's love.This subject in the Western Church is vastly misrepresentented with heady how-to's removing God's heart and the requirements of the call. But not this book.Loren has embraced the call full tilt.His chapter on "the profile of a prophetic person" will relieve the anxious parent, the frustrated pastor, and the confounded counselor. Loren's goal is empowerment for the prophetic person, healing for their battered soul, and peace to their anxious mind.This is the best book so far on profiling such people.Next Loren, please write about the leadership dynamics of the prophetic people within spheres of life, work, and relationships.

Such a good book!
