Is That Really You, God? Hearing the Voice of God Review

Is That Really You, God Hearing the Voice of God
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't easily say "this book can change your life" but it is so very true.
Read for yourself and see... it's a page turner that I've heard many describe as "impossible to put down." I've read this book 3 times in 2 languages (English & French) and it never fails to inspire.
"Is that Really You God?" Follows the life of Loren Cunningham from his youth through the pioneering and establishment of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) - the world's largest inter-denominational missions movement. The unbelievable challenges that are surmounted by this fledgling movement illustrate God's incredible desire to speak to and through young people from all nations.

In his magnificent classic, Chuck Colson shakes the church from its complacency with a penetrating look at the cost of being Christian. For those who have wondered wheter there isn't more to Christianity than what they have known --- and for those who have never considered the question --- Loveing God points the way to faith's cutting edge. Here is a compelling, probing look at the cost of discipleship and the meaning of the first and greatest commandment --- one that will strum a deeper, truer chord within even as it strips away the trappings of shallow, cultural Christianity.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

He Speaks to Me: Preparing to Hear the Voice of God Review

I just finished reading He Speaks to Me by Priscilla Shirer and it was wonderful! If you like Beth Moore, you will definitely like Ms. Shirer. Some books that I read like this often fizzle out towards the end and pack less punch, but this one only got better. I think I underlined half the book! I felt encouraged, comforted and convicted all at the same time and I very much look forward to applying this practical principles to my life. They are not new principles, but her directness and clarity really made it so real to me. I can also relate to her as she is a mom of young children as well! It is based on 1 Samuel 3. Very worth the read!

Do you want to develop a more intimate prayer life? Even more, do you want to hear from God in practical ways? Let Priscilla Shirer prepare you by giving you a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit. Based on the life of Samuel, who first heard God's voice while still a small boy, and packed with practical examples from Priscilla's own life. He Speaks to Me speaks directly to the need to develop a richer prayer life and deeper, more intimate relationship with God, and to learn how to comfortably share their experience of God with others. Very well timed, given the trends.

Living With Voices Review

Living With Voices
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Finally found a book that I connect with on a cellular level. My son was diagnosed with schizophrenia 10 years ago. I have repeatedly begged my son's doctors to delve into his childhood. I have given ALL of his psychiatrists detailed descriptions of his life. None were interested. They all say that it is a physical brain disorder and ply him with drugs that have reduced him to a subdued version of what he used to be. I have always disagreed, but they don't listen. - This book, written by psychiatrists and health professionals, does a good job of presenting what voice-hearing sufferers experience - and, more importantly, a solution. It is based on the premise that the sufferer has experienced trauma that then results in hearing voices. Identifying the voices, their personalities, tones, words, etc., helps to identify the incident(s)/person(s) that caused the trauma. Recovery occurs when the sufferer learns to identify and connect a voice to a particular time/space/person. - This sounds so simplistic... and I'm probably doing a very bad job of describing the contents of this book. But I am so gratified to read a book that echoes what I have believed from Day 1. Unfortunately, the psychiatric community in the United States will think it's hogwash. Their solution, though, is to push meds. If the meds don't work (and they usually don't), then there is no alternative. They tell the "patient", and family members, that the "disease" is chronic and without hope of any significant recovery. The doctors tell you to get on with your life and expect very little from your loved one. Not only do they impart a sense of hopelessness to everyone concerned but they stick on the label of "schizophrenia" - which, as we all know, is like getting a neon light emblazoned on your forehead that says "psychotic killer." Add to that the numbing drugs that cause massive side-effects. - My son and I once had a meeting with a very famous psychiatrist (for which we paid a hefty fee). He strode into the meeting room, picked up a model of a brain, set it on the table and said: "This is your brain. The frontal lobe is the area where all of your difficulties lie." - There was no, "Hello, nice to meet you." My son was a brain - not a person with a history, feelings, experience.. We did not see this man again. - For those parents/caregivers that believe their loved one is more than a brain, read this book. There is recovery, and it is not about drugs.

A new analysis of the hearing voices experience outside the illness model, resulted in accepting and making sense of voices. This study of 50 stories forms the evidence for this successful new approach to working with voice hearers.

Dallas Willard's Study Guide to The Divine Conspiracy Review

Dallas Willard's Study Guide to The Divine Conspiracy
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have read Willard's Divine Conspiracy a good many times and it is my favorite book--and I've been a Christian for 30+ years! Recently a few friends and I gathered over the course of a year to discuss the book. We found that the Study Guide was not much of a help, altho we kept using it for quite some time. We finally just gave it up, but I'm sorry I have no supporting detail as to why. As for Divine Conspiracy I find it a constant inspiration for worship! Chapters 9 and 10 lift me to glory!!

Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God Speaks Review

Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God Speaks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My ladies' group at church just completed the study "Discerning the Voice of God" by Priscilla Shirer. If you're willing to put forth the effort, this is a thought-provoking, life-changing Bible study! The workbook lessons are short but still challenging - appropriate for the novice or more advanced Bible student. Although the final workbook lesson ends rather abruptly. When the workbook is accompanied by the video teaching, the topic is more dynamic. Priscilla is a woman after God's own heart with a real gift for communication. She is funny, but doesn't pull any punches when it comes to presenting the truth found in the Word of God. I recommend "Discerning the Voice of God"!

Studying the Word of God heightens
our spiritual senses to hear the still small
voice of God and helps us recognize
the promptings of the Holy Spirit. From
the Old Testament prophets to modern
day believers, noted author and speaker
Priscilla Shirer walks the reader through
Scripture that captures the method
and tone of God's communication and
teaches the reader to beware of counterfeit
voices, how in each encounter
God's voice may differ, but the nature of
it does not.

God Whispers: Learning to Hear His Voice Review

God Whispers: Learning to Hear His Voice
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
God Whispers rattles the cage of mediocre Christian spirituality by forcing us to run head on into that one truth we Christians find so hard to believe--God still speaks to his children. In an intimate yet practical way, Margaret shares real-world examples of how God speaks to us today, and challenges us to take the risk to listen and follow His whispers in our daily lives. God Whispers is a solid, biblical exploration of a subject desperately close to our souls.
--Michael D. Warden, author of "Alone With God: Biblical Inspiration for the Unmarried"

The vast majority of Americans pray, but how many recognize when God has answered? In the bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook the quiet nudges, the subtle answers and the little ways in which the Creator responds.GOD WHISPERS isn't as much about how to pray as it is about how to listen. Author Margaret Feinberg challenges readers to live with a tender heart as well as open eyes and ears to the countless ways in which God speaks."God is big. He could use anything to communicate with His people," Feinberg writes. "He could fill the sky with messages that beam in the atmosphere for hours. He could paint His words in nature using tree bark, blooming flowers or freshly fallen snow. In modern times, He could send an email, call someone's cell or leave a voice mail message.""But He doesn't. He takes a much more subtle approach. Instead of shouting, He whispers."

Is That Really You, God: Hearing the Voice of God
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've read this book many, many times. This last time I was seeking an answer from God and wondering if what I was hearing was really the voice of the Lord. I learned to seek the Lord not the answer, to focus on God not just the tools He uses in our lives. I learned some steps to be really open to hearing God's voice.

This practical guide to hearing God's voice shows how an ordinary man who committed to hearing God and obeying Him, became the founder of the largest interdenominational missions organization in the world.Loren Cunningham's dream began with a vision -- waves of young people moving out across the continents announcing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the whole earth. Decades later, Loren's vision has grown into an interdenominational movement of Christians from around the world who are dedicated to presenting the Gospel to this generation.How did God move Loren's dream from vision to reality? He led Loren and his wife, Darlene, through a series of tough lessons in guidance. The exciting story of Youth With A Mission has much to teach us about the art of listening to God as we seek to be used by Him. Is That Really You, God? is not only a practical guide to hearing God's voice but also an amazing testimony to how following His direction can impact our lives and our world for the glory of God's kingdom.

You Only Think God Is Silent: Hearing God in the Defining Moments of Our Lives Review

You Only Think God Is Silent: Hearing God in the Defining Moments of Our Lives
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is well written and insightful... everyone, Christian or not, should read this book! All of us will have burdens in this life- the Bible tells us this- so Julie Ann teaches us how to "be prepared". I especially like the chapter entitled, "Faith is like a car". We have to keep the car in top form so it will perform when we need it to. Our faith needs to be maintained in that way, too, not just when the crisis comes. As difficult as losing her husband must have been, Julie Ann has allowed God to work through her and be a shining light that exemplifies His glory. Well done!
