Ask for the Ancient Paths

My pastor happened to mention this book during a church service so I decided to check it out, and I'm so glad that I did! I loved Rick Joyner's "Final Quest", "The Call", and "The Torch and the Sword". I also enjoyed Anna Roundtree's book ("Heaven Awaits the Bride"). This book, "Ask for the Ancient Paths", seems to be in the same genre in that it is based on visions and revelations experienced by the author, and the subject matter is very serious which makes it a fascinating read that was hard for me to put down. The book answered so many questions for me and has been one of the most profound books that I've had the pleasure of reading.

I have to admit that when I first saw the picture of the author with blue hair on the back of this book I was hesitant to hear what she had to say. However, everytime I would see the book I felt compelled to buy it and read it anyway. I'm very glad I did. Hiding underneath that blue hair is one very intelligent woman. The Bible says that "...God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong," (I Cor.1:27). I admit that in my prejudiced pride I was thinking too highly of myself and was very humbled after reading this book. While some may not agree with all Mrs. Jones has to say that she saw, the teaching is incredible. She shows how each plague put upon the Egyptians during Moses' time correlates with our own progressive downfall into sin. She explains how the enemies of the Israelites during the taking of the Promised Land each represented a sin in humanity which broke the commandments of God. However, what really touched me personally in this book was her vsion about the Throne Judgements. Knowing deep inside that what she was saying was true about the fact that every sin causing every tear and drop of blood shed that had not been covered by the blood of Jesus would bear testimony to how a person was judged brought me to my knees. It released a vision of God's grace to know that I had to both repent of my own sins as well as to let off the hook any people who had sinned against me that I secretly held onto in unforgiveness. In conclusion, this is an excellent book and full of much wisdom. Don't let your preconceived notions stop you from buying it and reading it. You will want to get copies to give to others after you are done.

This will stir all the creative cells in your mind set. A must read for critical thinkers, and for anyone wanting to look beyond traditional Sunday School lessons.

AFTER I READ THIS BOOK, I ORDERED 10 MORE COPIES TO SHARE WITH ANY ONE WHO WANTED ONE. INFORMATIVE, LIFE CHANGING, SURPRISING, REVELING LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER READ. THERE SHOULD BE A COPY IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD!

I sit quietly at my desk humbly praying for the words that this reviewer may bring to you concerning the work, "Ask For The Ancient Paths," by author Jessica Jones. As those of you who follow my reviews know, I am not new to reading and reviewing books concerning visions, dreams and directions from God. I have been privileged to read many that have warmed my heart and increased my faith, and I will be forever grateful for each of them for the encouragement and growth they have given to me. However, the words within this book took me on a journey that I never dreamed possible .It is not a small thing for me to say that I truly was not prepared for the revelation that was to be unfolded to me in this work. Revelation that would allow me to see deep into the heart of God, the beginning of time, the creation and fall of man, the depth of deception in Lucifer, the wondrous role of Angels and the deep penetrating, undying love that the Godhead has for mankind. It was literally breathtaking revelations that opened my eyes to more mysteries in the spiritual realm in the few hours it took me to read this book than in the almost 30 years of ministry that I have partaken of. And when I say this, understand that I have indeed seen my share of the miraculous, visions and miracles, heard deep secrets of the spirit and seen the hand of God mightily move. Author Jessica Jones opens her heart to her readers, laying bear before them her own beginnings, heartaches, and trauma's in life that took her years to overcome until she realized her calling from her Creator. To me, she is a woman who is well aware that she will be held accountable to God for every word that she speaks or writes and is ever careful to follow the call of the Lord. I know that with any vision there are always areas that some may call gray, but our author has done everything she can to give the reader either Scriptural references or scientific data concerning her visions. You may not agree with everything you will read in this book, but I am pretty sure when you are finished you will be given to much thought and soul searching for a very long time. I highly recommend this book as a Minister of the Gospel, a reviewer, and just someone who was searching for some answers for a long time and finally found them.
