Shadows of Things to Come: A Prophetic Look at God's Unfolding Plan

by Rick Joyner

"One of the greatest sources of prophetic vision is found by better understanding our past," says Rick Joyner. "I studied Christ's interaction with the apostles as well as the life of the early church to be obedient to a heavenly vision in which I was told that I would not be able to accurately foresee the future until I understood the past."In this important book Joyner looks at the life and ministry of the apostles and of later generations so that Christians today can close the openings the enemy has used to gain entry and do his deadly work. He examines the successes and failures of Christians of the past so we can better understand how to be God's servants today.

What an amazing book! An excellent concise history of the church, showing us the mistakes and obedient steps taken by those before us, so that we can be ready for the Day of the Lord. We cannot know where we are going unless we know where we come from.

I love history and I love looking at life prophetically, so this was a good one for me.
