About the Author
Stan Smith is uniquely qualified to write about prophetic song. After receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1969, Stan began singing spontaneous songs of worship as he played guitar. He attended Pinecrest Bible Training Center in upstate New York, where he was gripped with a longing for intimacy with God. His ministry has included four years as teacher in a Bible school and seventeen years as a pastor, where he often led worship. As a pastor, Stan was able to watch the long-term effects of prophetic ministry in his congregation; therefore, he can write about prophetic song with balance. In 1999, Stan resigned as pastor so he could travel worldwide, speaking in churches, conferences, and workshops. In 2002, Stan produced a CD of prophetic songs that were sung spontaneously. Stan and his wife JoAnn live in California.
