Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being prophetic is often thought to be a matter of predicting the future, creating charts of end times events, and scaring people into accepting narrow, authoritarian and other-worldly images of God, humankind, and political involvement. That is a distortion of what prophetic ministry has been and can continue to be. In this booklet, the second of three that integrate process theology with contemporary spiritual life and activity, Bruce Epperly presents a prophetic vision and also a vision of prophetic ministry that is forward looking, but not predictive or controlling, challenging while offering freedom, and positive in its outlook. Epperly is a specialist in bringing difficult concepts to life for everyone. He combines that skill with the short format of the Topical Line Drives series to present a call to prophetic ministry that invites everyone to action, and applies the prophetic voice to lifegiving words and works for all people everywhere and also for the planet we live on. This book may well be the call you need to hear to be a voice and a medium for positive change in our world.
