ABOUT THE BOOK
This is why prophets have a singular capacity to prepare us for life’s unexpected turns. This is how they can see around corners. As she answers common questions about prophets and affirms the myriad ways they point us to Jesus Christ, Sheri Dew reminds us that prophets are an extraordinary gift to those who believe. The revelation they receive is for us today―revelation that contemplates the unique circumstances in the world now. Why should we listen to prophets? Because, as the author teaches, “Those who follow the prophet are actually following and placing their trust in God the Father and in His Son Jesus Christ.” As we study and follow the counsel of prophets, the trajectory of each of our lives will change. We will be protected from deception and prepared for all that lies ahead.
REVIEW
Sheri Dew's unique experiences with the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints qualifies her to write this powerful book. Members of the church believe firmly in prophets and the author powerfully explains why in this important book. Using her experiences with various leaders, Dew highlights the way that prophets guide the church and lead the way to being more Christlike. In simple, straightforward chapters with titles like : Words Have Power and Are Prophets Infallible?, readers learn about the role of prophets and how God has used them to guide his children from the very beginning. The book makes important points about why the church believes so strongly in prophets and why it's so important to follow their counsel and direction. The feelings that come through the Holy Spirit when one listens to and follows a prophet are not like any other kind of feelings. While directed at church members, the book also makes for a powerful introduction to the church for those who aren't familiar with its teachings, practices, or beliefs. Highly recommended.
