Deeply rooted in scriptural study and personal experience, Westhoff guides readers through a journey of understanding the true essence and purpose of prophecy in today's church. This thought-provoking manuscript delves into the historical and biblical roots of prophecy, examining its evolution from the Old to the New Testament and the crucial shift that occurred after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
