I was asked if I'd be interested in reviewing The Power of the Prophetic Blessing. I agreed to review the book.
I wasn't sure what to expect. I haven't read very much by John Hagee, if anything. I know he's well thought of in many regards. Lately, I've found books written by pastors to be hard to read. Many of them write like they're in the pulpit, the material is soft or basic, and they repeat themselves and add in a bunch of stories. I often struggle with stories and anecdotes, since they tend to be subjective, especially in spiritual matters. Just because a pastor can produce a story that seems to agree with his point doesn't mean the point is a universal. So lately I've been real picky about the pastor written books I read.
I did enjoy The Power of the Prophetic Blessing. Of course, it has many "pastorisms" in it, but they didn't detract too much. I found a few assumptions I wasn't sure I agreed with, but for the most part, it's well written and the stories aren't too subjective.
