Question: I have heard of a number of churches that are giving copies of Rocky Fleming's The Prayer Cottage...

Question: A dear friend of mine, on fire for Jesus, is following John Crowder. I’m concerned about the wording of his ministry. His teachings are called “mystical school.” I just wonder if you know about him and what you think.

Question: Could you please explain briefly some of the teachings of Kingdom/Dominion...
