What a timely read. I'm teaching an international class on Pentecostal Spirituality and Ministry, including the 5 functions of pastor, teacher, apostle, prophet, and teacher. Kitterman's book couldn't have arrived on my desk at a better time.
The author offers a practical yet engaging look at the gift of prophecy - and how it can be exercised in a loving and learning context. Kittterman asks Christians to be listening to God's voice and then to share that encouragement with others. She makes accessible the mysterious ways that God speaks to his children through the Church. I liked the exercises and deeper reflections at the end of each chapter and will be asking my students to engage with this text.
