Happy Friday friends. As promised, I’m back today with a review of my friend Debbie Kitterman’s recently released book:
The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement
Prophecy. I know. An uncomfortable word for some, but in this book Debbie, in her very engaging and down to earth manner, teaches us about Biblical prophecy with the backing of plenty of Scripture. She explains in detail the four types of Biblical prophecy before focusing in on the gift of prophetic encouragement which is all about hearing the words of God for others. She is passionate in her belief that it is a very necessary gift for today.
Here’s what one of the other members of Debbie’s book launch team wrote about the book:
“Have you ever experienced God moments? When someone comes up to you and says something so deeply personal without realizing it, that it can only come from God? When a stranger prays words over you that touches your deepest longings, longings you have not shared anyone?”
I know I have! Words of prophetic encouragement can change the course of one’s life and move people forward into purposes they’ve only once dreamed of. I’ve experienced that in my own life.
Debbie also explains in her book that the gift of prophetic encouragement isn’t just for special people. If we lean into Him with open hearts and open ears God can give any of us encouraging words for others. I’ve learned from personal experience that being obedient to speak what God has laid on my heart for other people, even when it feels hard, can be a huge blessing to them. And the result of encouraging others is an even bigger blessing to me!
You can order The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement through any of your favorite booksellers or on Debbie’s website by clicking on the picture above.
And, just in case you’re interested, the link below is a recent interview I did with Debbie where we discuss her book and a few other personal things 😉 We had a lot of fun and laughed a whole lot, and I think you might enjoy listening in.

WoW! This is a book I need to get. I love it when God drops into my heart something to tell someone. To me life’s is at it’s best when you can encourage someone who you didn’t even realize how badly they needed it.
It is absolutely a thrill to encourage another person with God’s words!!! I think you’ll enjoy the book. Good luck on the contest!
Brenda, I hope you get a chance to read my book soon 🙂 I love how you look at encouragement – – life is at it’s best when you can encourage someone! That is so perfect and I completely agree 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to read about my book on Patti’s blog.
Love prophetic words of encouragement! And how He knows just when we need them. Thank you for sharing!❤️
Thank you for the comment on my book review Leslie. YOU are quite an encouragement to me. <3
Leslie, you are so right… God does know just when we need them and when others do as well. Thank you for taking to the time to read and comment on Patti’s post about my book. Blessings
Thank you!
I was so glad that this was on your blog today. I’ve been experiencing this in my own life recently. It is a little scary at first because I not always sure how to approach people with it. I must get the book to learn more.
Thank you SO much for taking time to comment Janet. It can definitely be scary to approach people when we feel God’s nudge. Such a blessing though. I hope you’ll enjoy the book and learn from it.
Janet, yes, sometimes in the beginning at can be a little intimidating or scary, but it’s really not. I promise. If you don’t win a copy, I pray you get a chance to read a copy soon. Thank you for sharing a comment. 🙂
