Learn More about the Book
R. Loren Sandford does not believe we will see revival sweep the Western world--despite the prayers of those longing for God to send it--without certain key elements. The goal of our pursuit in these crucial days, rather than seeking power, must be intimacy with God and oneness with his heart.
In addition to biblical examples and practical application, Sandford shows readers how certain "lighthouse churches" are incorporating and cultivating these goals. The church of Jesus Christ, he says, can rise up to have a prophetic impact on cities and nations and become all that our Savior called us to be.

What Does a Healthy Prophetic Church Look Like?
Are you longing for revival? Are you hungering for the power of God and a more effective prophetic ministry? Then it is time to refocus, says renewal leader Loren Sandford, and make the goal not prophecy, not signs and wonders, but intimacy with God. Only as we find His heart will we be empowered to change the culture around us.
Sandford provides a powerful vision and real-life examples of what a healthy prophetic community looks like. He helps believers find their place in these "lighthouses churches," places of refuge where people can encounter God's healing and restoration and then go out to transform the culture.
"Heart-gripping, bold, insightful, innovative and convicting. With wisdom, Loren Sandford not only defines what it takes to have a healthy prophetic community, but how prophetically gifted individuals should live in the community of the Church, and in so doing have a long and vibrant ministry."
John Paul Jackson, founder, Streams Ministries International
"An honest book about coming out of a sterile past into a vibrant future. Loren is building a people who can receive under pressure and prosper in the heat of battle--a community of passion that worships wholeheartedly and prays like a bride, not a widow."
Graham Cooke, author, Approaching the Heart of Prophecy
"Loren Sandford pleads for a deep and intimate relationship with God in a secular society caught in an out-of-control downward spiral. Loren calls us to seek first the Kingdom of God and lifts up a vision of lighthouse churches to show the way Home."
