Practical Recommendations for an Anointed Legacy

Steve Brooks opens the teaching of the scriptures on a question of mantles in his book “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants,” This is an area of study, often neglected, important in preparing Christians today as we enter the end-time generation. Steve helps unfold new understanding through Old and New Testament teaching that focus on how God places mantles on willing hearts which is applicable to today’s church as well.

Brooks talks about mantles, being an anointing, which will enable you to accomplish what God has gifted you to do. Examples from Elijah and Elisha and Moses and Joshua illustrate the Biblical pattern of transferring a mantle. Other excellent examples from the Bible are also introduced throughout the account.

Noteworthy stories from Steven’s ministry and those of other Christian leaders, past and present day, dramatically exemplify how mantles are being passed on today.

I found the guiding principles for receiving a mantle especially helpful. Steven’s hands-on advice on developing the Christian disciplines of prayer and Bible were an important reminder. I was also personally interested in learning of more of what it means to allow the Holy Spirit to choose your mantle.

“Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” is a crucial presentation of passing on anointed mantles which offers guidelines in preparing the church to move forward into a fresh anointing from God. Christian leaders from all denominations will benefit from Steven Brooks’ bold presentation of the signs and wonders already being manifest throughout the world today.
Charismatic in doctrine and in personality, intent on helping people, Steven’s writing is practical, spiritually motivating and genuine.
