Healing Wounds Hidden in Plain Sight
Dr. Ron Campbell, writing with bestselling author Ron Brackin, examines what Scripture says about apostles and prophets, from the Old Testament builders of the Tabernacle to the men Jesus called and the leaders who shaped the early church.
The book presents the apostle as a spiritual architect who sets the church in order and the prophet as one who hears God and reveals His heart.
Drawing on real stories from years in ministry, it offers a clear, biblical picture of these offices and why they still matter today.
