The Call [Illustrated] [Hardcover]

Rick Joyner (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1999

The Call continues the message introduced in The Final Quest that challenged Christians around the world to begin living the truth which they have been entrusted with. The Call is a call to life, a call to live in the unprecedented glory of the Son of God, a call to sacrifice, and to do all things for the sake of the Gospel. The darkness will soon be over, and the day of our Lord will dawn. Now is the time for us to take a stand against the great darkness of our time for the sake of the Light Who is greater and is surely coming, for it is written:

“And it shall be in the last days,” God says, “that I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall see dreams; even upon My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit and they shall prophesy” (Acts 2:17-18).

The “last days” are here. These are the days of dreams, visions, and prophecy for the young and old, the sons and the daughters, the days that the great saints of old longed to see and in which we are privileged to live.
This book is a call to seize an unprecedented opportunity to live in a manner worthy of… THE CALL.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Committed Christians, April 21, 2000

By 

Suzanne A. Collum (Maui, Hawaii) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Call (Paperback)

I must admit to being leary of anything that smacks of "this present weirdness" in Christian literature. Whether I agree with all of the author's doctrine is not the issue. The truth of the message comes through loud and clear, and this book will challenge you to your very core as a Believer. It is a book about living in these Last Days, about discerning the true from the false, about religious activity versus living a life that will bring glory to God. It is a wake up call for all Christians.

Rick Joyner's sequel to The Final Quest will reach deep into your heart with a divine understanding of God's will for His Church in these last days. The author takes us on a riveting journey into the ever surprising realms of the Spirit. The truths he learns along the way illumine Scripture and reveal the glorious destiny of the Church, both individually and corporately. This book is a treasure chest of godly wisdom and revelation that you'll want to dip into again and again!

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE READ MY COMMENTARY!!!!!!!, October 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Call (Hardcover)

This book is not an ordinary book. This man ,Rick Joyner has been given a divine word from Jesus Himself to go to the world and show us truth. Rick was taken in the Spirit to fight within the spirit (Literally). He then went to heaven where he met Several people of the faith including The Apostle Paul who is now a King in the divine order. It (The Book) makes one to see the essence of our very own existence. I have tried to persuade everyone I can to read this. But I know the book is true because it lines up perfectly with Scripture. The beginning has an emphasis on the fruits of the Spirit, our weapons etc. Jesus spoke to Rick Joyner in PERSON, and gave him a word to you and me.The emphasis is on humility, love, faithfulness and purity of intent.Acording to the great Christian writer who took much pride in his works ,now in heaven,"Seek the Glory of the Savior Alone ;anything other than that can take you off the path of life " [papraphrase].Please do not fail to get the Words of The Lord. Godbless you as you read it.I happen to have experienced a couple of those spritual "Electric shocks that seemed like fire ", and I testify that this book is real, faithful and true. One can write excessive volumes to elaborate on every single line;Obviously it is not the wisdom of Joyner that could have enabled him to write all that wisdom in such a short piece.Now I really want to preach the gospel and I hop the good Lord will call me wherever he wants me to go.
