The Heart Of The KingThe Leadership Measure of the Joseph-Daniel Calling
by Morris Ruddick
___________________________________
In this day when Christian books fill our shelves and call out to us in the marketplace, promising to tell us something new, something important, something that will give us real help to deal with the storms of our day we wonder if any of these authors has actually heard from God. There are few that truly pierce the veil of the common and plunge us deep into the revelational truths found in the secret place of the Most High God!
In ‘Heart of a King’ you will find truths discovered by many hours of deep prayer, searching the scriptures and seeking the Heart of God. Here you will find biblical truth for building community among believers not just building a business. These truths speak to those today who have a Joseph-Daniel calling, written by a pathfinder, entrepreneur and pioneer who truly has the Joseph Daniel mantle and seeks to impart these gems from God’s throne room to all who are willing to pay the price to acquire the 'Heart of a King.'
'These are times that cry out for true leadership in the Body; the type that unites and mobilizes. It is a leadership of sacrifice, whose practitioners refuse to acquiesce to the safe places that fall short; or be seduced by the rule of power of the rule of profit that lures those called by His Name into the intrigues and games played by the world. They are a remnant whose calling is directly from God; not presumption, ambition or any other quest emerging from the heart of man. These are the ones with the leadership mantle of Joseph and Daniel, who are facing the realities, paying the cost and faithfully stewarding their callings of bringing forth God's Kingdom. These are the ones who will themselves receive the keys to release His Kingdom in their domains. These are the ones with the heart of a King.'

HEART OF A KING: Endorsements
'My progress was slow, as I had to stop frequently to praise God, repent, pray, or just express joy or soberness with the content of the pages.
'Judy Haynes, Political Consultant, Co-Founder of the Christian Coalition, Washington, DC
I'n The Heart of a King, God has given significant prophetic revelation to Morris Ruddick on the topic that Jesus talked about the most in the Gospels - the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a timely message and confirms His promise that in the last days that knowledge would increase (Dan 12:4). The Heart of a King illustrates how the Body of Christ can and must come into alignment with a Kingdom of Heaven-centric model which is based upon the pillars of God-centered, community, and increase. This is a new-old paradigm that the Church must embrace in order to partner with what the Lord is doing in this season, or be left behind in religious stagnation. A must read for every believer, this book will challenge the existing church-as-normal paradigm as well as cause each of us to reflect on our own motivations for serving in His Kingdom. As this book illustrates, it’s not what we do for Him that counts, it’s what we allow Him to do through us that has lasting value.'

"If you are dissatisfied with your status quo and needing an overhaul of your call, then this is definitely the book for you! Morris Ruddick really packs a punch in this sequel to his previous book, 'The Joseph-Daniel Calling'. You'll be compelled to take a fresh inventory of your gifts and calling, with an eye toward right stewardship of all those treasures held in your earthly vessel. Conviction to adopt new holy habits will come upon you as you read each chapter and grasp the keen prophetic insight and revelatory wisdom Morris provides so succinctly here. Expect your spirit to rise within you and your spiritual eyes to see, on a personal level, what God planned for you to inherit and walk in since before the beginning of time. If you believe this is your season for exponential growth, then this book will take you there."

"In a time when many are talking about "building community", Morris Ruddick lays out a framework for that to actually happen. This framework is built upon kingdom entrepreneurship. This framework is simple, yet practical because it is based firmly on the Scriptures. And it is not just nuts-and-bolts. In fact, the most important features are the reliance on hearing God and knowing what to do. Truly, the call Morris relates is to draw closer to the Lord and hear His voice. The way of the Josephs and the Daniels on the surface sounds glamorous. Who wouldn't want power in the courts of Egypt or Babylon? But the path to the throne is marked with seasons in prison or the den of lions. No glamor there. In fact, as Morris clearly points out, Josephs and Daniels are not in this for the glamor or for themselves. It is a kingdom assignment and as such those called to this are more concerned for the people of God than their own personal enrichment or glory. "
