Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

As pastor of Free Chapel church in Gainesville, Ga., Franklin preaches and teaches to an imposing 10,000 attendees weekly. The charismatic evangelist—who is also author of two books on fasting and a national television personality on the program Kingdom Connection—offers a spirited and lively how-to text on learning to discern and identify the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Franklin shows a disarming personal style as he presents clear expositions on defining the gift of discernment, recognizing the three rights (people, place, plan), unlocking this gift and garnering its protective elements. Many evangelical readers will feel like the book is a vitamin C boost to their spirits, but others will find it a bit simplistic. Franklin exudes an utter confidence about how and when the Holy Spirit will work in Christians' lives, a certainty that may appeal to charismatic readers, but will feel to others like he is reducing Christian mystery to a workable cause-and-effect formula. Still, readers across the evangelical Christian spectrum can appreciate how honing in to the work of the Holy Spirit is always a valued exercise, though too often a neglected topic in spiritual discipline discussions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritually Deep & Vitally Significant, September 28, 2007

In order to leave a spiritual legacy you must be broken. It's a painful process that leads to maturity, but if one is to be effective, it is necessary. Only a person who has experienced such can write authoritatively about it. Jentezen Franklin writes with spiritual depth.

"God wants to see if you've got the right spirit in the face of adversity. God wants to know if you are able to 'bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you,'" (Luke 6:28) he writes. Chapter 11 is rich with insight on this difficult matter of passing these spiritual hurdles enroute to maturity.

In the previous chapter (10) he points out that credibility comes when one overcomes challenges. Some people aren't really used effectively by God because they haven't overcome anything substantial he notes.

Adding to credibility is his confession that he incorrectly "discerned" a matter involving one of his daughters. He missed it completely and had the courage to put it in his book and explain that it takes time to learn in the spiritual arena as it does elsewhere.

Chapter 14 talks about every marriage having an assignment from God. Singles are encouraged in the previous chapter (13) as he writes, "I assure you that God has destined someone to love you. Rest assured that he or she is living and breathing right now somewhere on this planet." He adds that you may not understanding God's timing, but it is part of the plan.

Overall this is one of the most important books you'll read because he teaches you how to be significant where it counts, in the eyes of the One to Whom you will someday give an account.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Empowering !!!!!, July 19, 2007

By 

Sunshine "jc" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Right People Right Place Right Plan (Hardcover)

I watched Pastor Franklin on TBN's Praise the Lord program and saw the book advertised. I borrowed it from the library, but have to purchase my own copy. This is one of those "keeper" books that you will always want to read again, and again for reference! This book is not just for "Christians", but a must read for anyone seeking to fulfill their purpose as a child of God and want to understand and develop spiritual discernment. Buy it or borrow it but get a copy and read it. Absorb what you read and if you keep an open mind, you will find this book very inspiring.

4.0 out of 5 stars He does it again...., July 4, 2007

This review is from: Right People Right Place Right Plan (Hardcover)

If you like Jentzen Franklin's previous books and sermons, you'll like this book. When you read this book it is almost like he's preaching to you. He doesn't use some fancy author writing, he writes just like he's talking to you. The chapter on how to win your spouse is EXCELLENT and a must for anyone who has a spouse that is not a believer. The only negative I can say is that he repeats a lot of sections from other books and stories. I guess that's a problem if you listen to his sermons a lot but a very good reference tool to have on your bookshelf. I have placed sticky notes throughout my book for future reference.
