The path of a prophet by John Mark Pool

This booked touched my heart about the path John Mark Pool has walked, making mistakes in his life while having a prophetic calling and at the end still arriving at his destiny at the cost of a complete death to self. An inspiring book for anybody who is busy paying the price to enter into his/her calling while making mistakes. An absolute encouraging and inspiring book !

Honesty hurts

Though difficulty pressures an author to not reveal painful setbacks, John Mark Pool has not denied readers much in the way of painful experiences on his journey. Path of a Prophet will stay on my bookshelf. I will reread this book in the future. I will also use it as a sharing tool - a book to give to others in their trouble. This read will encourage all those struggling to find personal relationship with the Almighty in the face of life's hardships. Mr. Pool encourages with his openness and honesty - a giving trait and a selfless sharing. This book is for more than those with prophetic calling, it is written for those seeking a love relationship with our creator.

Honesty

John Mark wrote a very open and honest book about what it is really like to follow God's calling on your life, and how sometimes you just get sidetracked. It isn't always glamour and glitz as some people portray it to be. The road is sometimes filled with lots of detours and obstacles. I thank him for his honesty. There is a lot of insight and wisdom packed into this short story. I'm looking forward to his next book.

An Amazing Journey in Search of Love

"The Path of a Prophet" is a chronicle of John Mark Pool's spiritual journey. John Mark uttered his first word of prophecy as a three year old toddler. At age seven he responded to the salvation message and began preaching a few years later. His journey took some detours over the years. These wrong turns are related here in hopes that the reader will be able to avoid the same mistakes. I, personally, appreciated John Mark's openness in making himself vulnerable to the reader. This openness reveals his dependence on the Lord for his strength and his desire to bring honor to the Lord. Returning from a preaching mission, John Mark came home an empty house. His wife had left him with their children and furniture. Heartbroken and devastated John Mark sought the Lord for His will and spiritual and emotional healing. Two years later as an active staff member of a large church John Mark faced another set back. His staff position was abruptly terminated and he was banished from ever returning to the church property. Once more, claiming God's love, and faithful to God's calling on his life, as a prophet, John Mark went on to follow God. The Lord provided a new beginning in worldwide prophetic ministry and blessed him with the love he had been seeking for a lifetime. Beautifully written "Pathway of a Prophet" is an amazing love story of God for man, and a man's answer to the call of God on his life. Compelling.

Good book about the journey God has for each of our lives. God teaches us along the way through trials and tribulation. John Mark went through a lot of trials, but still hung on to the Lord. We should all do the same. We need to acknowledge God in all his ways and he will surely direct our paths.
