In \u003ci\u003eElijah Among Us, \u003c\/i\u003e he outlines a biblically rooted discussion of prophetic history and functioning, both how to instruct prophets and commission their office and how to inform the church about prophetic ministry. Sandford wrote this follow-up book because he sees a strong and even dangerous overemphasis in the church on the \"giving of personal words,\" which is only one role of the prophetic office. \u003cbr\u003e\t The first section of this book develops a history of the prophetic office, how the office metamorphosed from one of warning into proclaiming God's gentle and merciful side, and becoming burden-bearers. Second, Sandford sets forth the working functions of prophets, explaining how they serve in twelve major roles, including bringing blessings, healing, warning of impending judgment, giving protection from tragedies, and offering direction, guidance, or confirmation. \u003cbr\u003e\tReaders will gain crucial knowledge of a widely misunderstood topic, helping them be discerning in these strategic end times. Authoritative and compelling, \u003ci\u003eElijah Among Us\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and vital work for the Body of Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Loren Sandford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chosen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 6.08w x 0.61d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800793036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/06\/2002 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/10\/2002 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCharisma \u0026amp; Christian Life\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2002 pg. 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Loren Sandford, ordained as a Congregational pastor, travels worldwide with his wife, Paula, and conducts seminars interdenominationally on marriage and family, inner healing and transformation, prayer, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, burden-bearing, intercession, and more.
