A painful journey but with victorious results ..
Chuck Pierce's testimony deserves to be heard. Painful as it is, each of Chuck's experience forms a layer of revelation until his personal life becomes a shining pearl before God. The author realized he needs to transfer his experience to other believers. Generously, he has collected his experiences and compiled them into this block-buster book. So this book is actually a treasure chest that is filled with spiritual truth.

Let it be known also that the message written here comes from the mind of an anointed strategist. A strategist is full of feasible plan. Lies within this book is a plan Chuck believes that will enable us to reclaim our lost inheritance. Laced with this plan are comprehensive guidelines and strategies that can be implemented immediately too.

By setting the equilibrium of truth, the message of this book is a wake up call to those who do not understand the full power of their spiritual rights and authority. When believers are not aware of this, they are walking blindly on thin ice ! This is Chuck's attempt to let us be aware of our circumstances and get us right on track.

If one thing I have learned from Chuck's message is that when we live under the clutches of legalism and iniquities, we can still be believers but very much trapped in the cage of humanistic guilt. This is definitely not the pathway to victory.

Upon completing this book, I can conclude that Chuck has weaved his tears and sacrifices over the years into this wonderful gift to us. I can say that this book will not only reinvigorate your faith, it will reinstate those who have lost their strength and faith in life.

This book was nothing short of incredible!
Chapter after chapter left me begging for more and longing to know the promises my Lord has made for me in exchange for the promises I make to Him. What is your inheritance? In Chapter One, simply put, "He longs for our latter days to be greater than our former days. God's plan for you "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." The hightlight for me had to be Chapter Six which included a nine-step process to help you secure your inheritance. It's not easy, it's a committment, and it takes some discipline. But anybody, absolutely everybody can do it and receive what God has intended personally for them since before the beginning of time. Also enlightening was Chapter Four, Glory to Glory. This chapter helped clarify my own experiences in closeting myself quietly in prayer, God's Words which burn into my brain and my heart, and the Holy Spirit, which I pray to work within me that I may lead a more Christian life. It includes quotes from such notables as Rick Joyner, C.S. Lewis, Dutch Sheets, Donald Whitney and my own Pastor, Jack Hayford. It also includes forwards by C. Peter Wagner and Cindy Jacobs. This book will leave you vibrant, radiant and ready to go to work for the success and well-being that is promised to you by the words of Jesus. Be sure to have your Bible beside you because there are many references that you will want to read to help clarify and yes, validate. Many things that Chuck Pierce said sounded too good to be true. But after reading them, then reading the Biblical cross-references, I knew that it must be true! I am a brand new baby Christian and now, not only do I look forward to growing up straight and tall in Christ, but also to grow old with Him and make Him as proud of me as I am to know Him

excellent
Possessing Your Inheritance is an instructional book. Ms. Wagner and Mr.Pierce supplies its readers an outline on how to possess your inheritance. The book gives the readers instruction on how to possess all the Lord has promised. An eye opener to our position in Christ, the detailed steps on how to deal with the reader's issues in their life and the freedom readers acquire through all this wealth of knowledge.

A great read
I've been a fan of Haring's since reading his music biz columns in Variety, USA Today and other industry rags. His no nonsense style adds up to a great read. As a musician I appreciate learning how to subvert the system by selling my music online, as well as the fight between MP3 artists and corporations who wanted to bury them. It's history in the making, and Haring puts it all in perspective. Hope he writes something about the digital film revolution, another system I'd like to see subverted.

If you have anything to do with Music, the Internet, and the world of Webcasting, then you must read this book --- NOW! Don't be paranoid, be educated by "Beyond The Charts." Keep a copy by your bed, one by your computer, and another by your business plan.


Father, Forgive Us!
Published in Paperback by Destiny Image Publishers (01 February, 2000)
Authors: Jim W. Goll, Chuck D. Pierce, and Dutch Sheets
Amazon base price: $13.99

Heaven¿s door needs more knocking !
There are due tears that have not been shed for years or even centuries. Jim Goll is about break us into tears through this book. He is just one of those who champions identificational repentance prayer. His effort is to build the bridge for the present to deal with the past.

Simple yet concentrated, Jim's message conjures up my mind that our forefathers are still prisoners of their sins and are moaning in their dark cells, longing their record to be cleared from the debt of sins. And they waiting for today's prayers to bail them !

This book is not intended for pleasure reading. It is a call to prayer action. The content of this book articulates compassion, mercy, grace, and humility. If you are ready for an inner conviction this book certainly delivers it. Otherwise it will only leave aching void in our heart if we do nothing about it as intercessors.

The curtain of this book opens by telling us that many of today's problems are the offspring of yesterday's sins. Our forefathers have left untreated relic that are perpetuating its effects in many generations to come, even till today. Genocide, racial discrimination, outbreak of war, street violence, and different forms of injustice all has its historic origin. This book is daring us to investigate its history.

This book will shift you from an audience to a team player paradigm. Jim shows us the way to delve into the spiritual sickness of our history rack and bring them before God today to be treated. He teaches us to recognize the source of today's problem. You will be surprise at how generic sins are reappearing through the generational line and cleverly façading behind the cloak of what we prefer to call "social ills". By the end of the first few chapters, I have learnt that no matter how meandering the tree of generation may end up to be, sin knows how to find its way through to continue its reignship. Put it another words, why are things happening today is because a diabolic work has been granted a freehold to pitch itself up, from yesterday's foundational sin, as today's ruling structure to manipulate mankind.

This book tells us we can dismantle this structure by releasing pent-up sins that have been left un-confessed for years. They are in fact contributors of today's sufferings. Jim strongly implies that some of these sufferings are not necessary and certainly not worth going through. They can be uplifted through a "new" utterance of prayer through identification, reconciliation, and forgiveness. By releasing an inward cry for yesterday's mistakes, we are building a pathway to restoration and the eventual of "Thy Will be Done In Earth".

We have hope. Heaven's ear is open to hear out the orchestra of intercessors whose desire is to cleanse past sins. Intercessor must simply have this book so that they can all join hearts and sound the same chorus as that of the theme of this book - "Father forgive us !"

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
This is Jim W. Goll, the author of this book. I want to share briefly with you from my heart about this book. While the primary theme of this book is identificational repentance, a great deal of teaching is done here to uncover historic sins of the church and those particularly relating to us in North America. With a readalbe syle but with accurate research we delve into the problems of The Clergy Versus the Laity, The Gender Gap, The Genocide of the Jews, The First Nations Massacre, The Enlsavement of a People and the Sins of Greed and Idolatry. Read the endorsements - read it for yourself. It will be worth your investment and you will be given a heart cry to join in with me, "Father Forgive Us!"

Apostles and Prophets Arise
Chuck Pierce is a voice crying out in the wilderness, "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord."

There is a prophetic voice emerging out of mainline Christianity today and Chuck Pierce is one of those Prophets. He captures, in one volumn, the heart of God and what Christ is doing in the hearts of this generation in preparation for His soon return.

Chuck Pierce opens a window into the Spiritual realm easily understood by anyone. He speaks of intercessory warfare and explains God's strategy in tearing down strongholds of the enemy.

He talks about and explains the coming Apostolic Church Government and the raising up of Prophets who will and are admonishing us to prepare our hearts before God.

Chuck Pierce has defined in depth what God means in His Commandment to 'Love God first with your whole heart and soul, and your NEIGHBOR as yourself.' Jesus Christ longs to share the fire of His love with us. Embrasing Him intimately is key to our growing up in Him.

Chuck Pierce shows us the way. One small paragraph sums up the whole of his prophetic message here:

"As we learn to operate in our gifts, the Body of Christ will function as it was meant to. No demonic force, including lawlessness, will be able to stand against a fully functioning Body of Christ. Operating properly in the gifts will lead us back to love (1 Cor. 13:1010), where we can work together according to the heart of God." (Page 203-204).

Apalachian writing at its finest!
This book is written so well I have read it many times. It is set in the depression era and brings you to that time with laughter and tears. Billy C. CLark describes small town living along the Big Sandy River which was once the cities life. I think people of all ages would love this heart felt book.

Taking Posession
Taking Posession of The Land has been beneficial to me. Not only has it encouraged me to be more disciplined in my prayer life, I have also seen miraculous changes take place in my neighborhood. I have owned this book for apporximately 2 years....I was blessed to get a script before it was published! The material is well mastered, and the step-by-step process is easy to follow and understand.

Superb!
This is one of the best books on worship I've read in a long time. The book talks all about "Ascending in worship, descending in war", just as in biblical times the worshippers led the people into war. It's about spending time with God in worship, in getting to know Him better, and to hear His heart, and then to go out from there to live life His way, including knowing how better to pray for people. I highly recommend it for all Christians!

A Word of Caution If You Want This Book
I read the Thoroughbred Legends book on Exterminator and in it, the author mentions a book that she enjoyed in her earlier days about this old time racehorse, written by Mildred Pace. I found it had been reissued and was available on Amazon. However, this new version of the book was re-edited to be suited to adults who were just learning how to read, which I believe is a great idea. Long syllable words are replaced by short syllable words and sentences are very short. But understand that this is early elementary level reading.

The concept of the new version is great, but if you are interested in learning more about Exterminator, this one probably won't be satisfying to you.

Incredible reading
This is the only book I remember reading as a young child. I probably read it 20 times. I have no idea where my old copy is, but I'm ordering one for me and one for my nieces. It was a GREAT story! Both happy and sad.

Excellent story
I first read this book as a child of about 8. Throughly enjoyed the story then. Remembered that it brought tears to my eyes each time I read it. Although it's been many years since I've read the story, I'm sure it still has the same impact. Waiting for the book to arrive so that I may enjoy it again. Great read for all ages.

Critical access to the creative process
Regardless of one's feelings about the egomania of author Bogdanovich (and it certainly bleeds through every page), he provides the creative world a great service by sharing his many years of interviews with some of the masters of American Film.

Contained within these pages is a critical access to the creative process. Each director interviewed (obviously some more than others) provides invaluable insight into the nuts and bolts of film directing. Bogdanovich has compiled with this book, an indispensable historical document that does much to inspire, educate and guide any aspiring film director.

I particularly valued Alan Dwan's insights into the importance of communicating character relationships into the narrative. I have incorperated much of the late director's invaluable advice into my attempts at stage direction.

All in all a must have for anybody interested in directing or gaining insight into the creative process.

Indispensable
Peter Bogdanovich pioneered the director interview in English, and this wonderful collection will give endless pleasure to film buffs. The book-length interview with Allan Dwan alone is worth the price of admission. Bogdanovich always did vast amounts of study before sitting down to talk with his subjects, and his expertise and enthusiasm encouraged them to open up in a way they usually did not with other interviewers. Anyone writing about the careers of the directors Bogdanovich interviews has to start with his work on them. A fitting companion piece is Bogdanovich's encyclopedic interview book "This Is Orson Welles."

Access to Genius Otherwise Unavailable
The title was suggested by Howard Hawks who once observed, "...I liked almost anybody that made you realize who in the devil was making the picture...Because the director's the storyteller and should have his own method of telling it." Hawks is one of the 16 "legendary film directors" represented in this volume. It is important to keep in mind that these are conversations rather than interviews such as those conducted by Robert J. Emery in The Directors: Take One and its sequel, The Directors Take Two, as well as interviews conducted by Richard Schickel in The Men Who Made the Movies. It is also worth noting that Bogdanovich is himself a distinguished director of films such as The Last Picture Show, What's Up, Doc?, They All Laughed (a personal favorite of mine), and Texasville. As a result of his own background, Bogdanovich's questions and comments reflect somewhat different interests and perspectives than do those of Emery and Schickel.

I rate all of these books Five Stars but probably enjoyed reading Bogdanovich's book the most because the conversations ramble along somewhat messily, as most of my own conversations tend to do, and also because Bogdanovich is more actively involved in the interaction than Emery and Schickel are. As a reader, I feel as if I were really an eavesdropper as 16 directors casually share their opinions, information about specific films and actors, gossip, "war stories," and overall evaluations of their careers' various successes and failures. At no time does Bogdanovich seem intrusive or manipulative. Moreover, perhaps to an extent he did not realize when writing this book, he also reveals a great deal about himself...much of it endearing and some of it admirable. His passion for film making and his appreciation of the great directors are almost palpable. Readers' interests about various directors and their respective films obviously vary. I include myself among those who are die-hard film buffs and so I enjoyed reading every chapter and every word in each chapter. Indeed, each conversation was for this amateur "gourmet" a feast to be consumed with delight and, yes, gratitude.

Read this!
I hesitated buying this because I'm skeptical of "end time" books. Boy am I glad I changed my mind. Kelly describes a series of dreams he had and gives an interpretation. Timely yet timeless. I read it in a day yet will be thinking about it for the rest of my life. I hope more people read this and that God ignites more people to think with a generational perspective.

It¿s more than a vision, it¿s an adventure
Heat after heat, the enemy is looking out for a crack on the wall. But what emerges will be the finest texture in the House of the Lord call warriors. This is a book of hope !

"End time warrior" presents to readers like a revelation kiosk, highlighting common objectives, direction, integrity and perseverance which the church must seriously take heed. Overall, the message contains gripping revelation with exclamation truth.

Living in a time of distress where the shadow of great uncertainty is casting on planet earth, there must arise an answer powerful enough to bring hope and life. The apostolic army, John Kelly saw in his vision, is unquestionably the visible topsoil prepared to fit that dire need. Coming to the fore shall be these people with flaming answers. Where they are placed, light will abound and darkness will diminishes into a blip.

From the account of Kelly's vision, there will come some of the most engaging periods the church would need to go through. The church has don some many titles in the past. Each title leaves a trail of revelation of the Lord. We have the Body, House of the Lord, Bride, and now Warrior.

After reading this book, some of us will probably be musing over the portal of opportunities awaiting for us. In his book, the author beckons us to prepare for encouraging results. Great harvest will unfold before our eyes. Resources will be returning. New grounds will be won. Old grounds will be claimed. What is even more glaring will be the fact that the prophesied church will be at the height of her maturity and beauty. Yes! It will take maturity to wrestle against the unseen forces. Anything less or compromising will cause us to fall under the duplicity of today's increasing false signs and wonders.

It will take unity to change today's spiritual climate. The greatest unity will spin out from the spread of diversity. Denominations lines are thinning, as the Spirit is drawing all of us for a common purpose. Even the very marginal differences among us will be offset by the love of the Spirit upon all of us.

This book also emphasizes the importance of spiritual fathers. Every warrior sent into the spiritual battlefield has a signature of his spiritual father on his heart. The quality of a warrior is formed on the anvils of a fatherhood ministry. In tandem with this emphases, the author also promotes the power of mentoring. Substantial quality in a spiritual life is developed out from a mentoring relationship, which should be today's primary focus in any ministry.

I believe Kelly's ministry is a personal offering to see the growth of God's Church. God has set him apart to be a pacesetter. In his anointing, he knows the speed of the Spirit and determines to train others to catch up. Read this book, it unfurls the motive of his heart.

Strong Medicine
End Time Warriors is a clear trumpet call to the contemporary church. Using prophetic imagery, biblical insight and many real life examples, Kelly & Costa pull the blinders off of the modern masquerade of ministry. They propose that much anointing is currently wasted and point us to some hopeful solutions. Although the message is essentially hard hitting there is also a refreshing sense of hope that shines through. Like a cool drink of water, this book is just the medicine that Dr. Jesus ordered.
