In The Footsteps Of A Prophet
God has a unique, personal calling for each of His children. If you’ve ever wondered what God could possibly do with your life or how you could ever achieve success, you need to read this life-changing book. Jerry Savelle shares how God took him from a nobody to a champion for Jesus. He was a paint and body automotive repairman living in Louisiana, never dreaming of getting out of Shreveport, barely surviving financially, but God had a divine appointment. A man named Kenneth Copeland came to Jerry Savelle’s hometown in 1968 and preached the message of faith that would change his life forever. Jerry became consumed with a quest to know more about faith in God. His unquenchable desire inspired him to study the Word of God intensely until it became a true revelation to him. Later, working for Kenneth Copeland, he learned many things that would impact his life, his family and his ministry forever. Jerry proves that God is no respecter of persons, and He can make a winner out of anyone willing to completely surrender their lives to Him. Through Jerry’s personal example of learning to live by faith, you’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and you’ll learn how to apply the God kind of faith to your own life as well. This keepsake book is packed full of actual notes Jerry took from the messages he heard from Kenneth Copeland back in the early 1970’s that changed his life. You’ll learn how to truly study the scriptures, how to make them personal to you, and how to apply them to your everyday life. This book is not just about someone’s life. It’s about what God can do in your life when you learn how to hear His voice, obey His voice and walk in His footsteps.

The most heartfelt, comprehensible and enjoyable book on FAITH
Each page is refreshing and invigorating and factual!!
It is actually bible-based and not opinionated
Each is anecdote is relevant and inspiring
Teaches you about Faith - what it is, how to receive it and exercise it clearly and coherently...
The Holy spirit, the human spirit, ministry and life in general - just simply overwhelming how good this book is.
If I had to compare it to food - I'd say it's like my favorite desert in the world hot waffles with strawberries, ice cream and chocolate sauce. It has the substance (waffles) the cream and mouthwatering strawberries make it digestible (so its not a solid prose). And the chocolate sauce just adds to the sweetness that makes you wanna have bite after another after another...
Give it a try - trust me you wont be disappointed

I have followed the ministries of both Kenneth Copeland and Jerry Savelle for years – I had heard some of these stories before and loved them, but it’s great to read them (and more) in order, and to see the importance of the relationship between these two men. What I love most about this book was not just the autobiographical aspect (which is delightful) but how Jerry lets us look in to the spiritual principles that guided his life all along this journey – he’s teaching us right along with telling us the stories of his life. Great book

I read this book cover to cover in about a weeks time...I loved this biography and sermons. I gave a copy of it to a friend who says it inspired him as well...if you like biography's of people who started out small in the ministry and are prospering today...this is the book for you!!

There is an assigned person ordained by God to be an instrument or vessel to help others.
Bro. Jerry's story is so touching in that he emerged from nobody to become one of God's finest vessels for this generation.
