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 !"

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).

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.
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.

"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.
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.
