Are you prophetic? A prophet? Do you pastor prophets? Are you a Christian who wants to know how to apprehend the joy of the Lord at a greater level? In the Happy Prophet, Keith Ferrante shares his personal journey and unpacks key New Covenant attributes necessary to function more effectively in God’s calling. No longer will prophets be known by their strange and scary mannerisms with their gravely serious and often aloof demeanor. As the new standard, joy will mark these happy prophets. With this mindset well established, these carriers of Heaven’s joyful atmosphere will break through every obstructing barrier that inhibits God’s transforming love. The Happy Prophet is a must-read for emerging prophets and for all those who prophesy.

Heaven is full of joy. The Bible says that Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him. We, as His children, should hold onto joy and apply it to everything in our lives. I believe this book will help many to see with new eyes – eyes that give life and joy to those around them.
