Best selling author Mike Bickle writes the definitive manual for understanding how to activate the expression of spiritual gifts in your life and in your church.
His own journey in pasturing prophetic people began suddenly in the spring of 1983, and throughout his ministry he has experienced both the exhilaration and the confusion that the prophetic ministry can bring. It is out of these experiences he now writes for everyone who is interested in seeing spiritual gifts and fresh revelation from God developed with integrity in the church today.
