Hearing God's Voice - by John Mark Comer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Developed by John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way team, this seven-session, full-color companion guide to the online course explores the many ways God's voice breaks through the noise of the modern era.

We live in a world where God speaks. Yet, it is also the most distracted, loud, and digitally saturated era in human history; a time in which his voice can feel inaudible, or at least like one of many in a noisy cafeteria. So, the question becomes not just, "will we learn to hear God?", but "how can we go about it?"

While hearing God's voice is not an exact science or formula, with humility, patience, discernment, and most of all surrender, Scripture reveals certain patterns, paths, and practices that God tends to use to speak with his people, including:

• Jesus
• Scripture
• the gentle whisper
• prophecy, dreams, and visions
• circumstances, desires, and discernment
• the leading of the Holy Spirit

This full-color companion guide will help you practice and reflect either independently or with your community as you walk through the Course to experience the ever present, clear voice of God. Inside, you'll find resources like:

• Helpful tips to get the most out of each session of the Course
• Real-life exercises to help put each session into practice
• Prayers to end each session as a community
• Additional resources such as a Recommended Reading and a Dream Step Sheet

About the Author

John Mark Comer is the New York Times bestselling author of eight books, including Practicing the Way, which was named the Christian Book of the Year by the ECPA, and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, which has sold more than a million copies and been translated into over twenty languages.

Practicing the Way is a nonprofit that creates spiritual formation resources for churches and small groups learning how to become apprentices of the Way of Jesus. We believe one of the greatest needs of our time is for people to discover how to become lifelong disciples of Jesus. To that end, we help people learn how to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did through the practices and rhythms he and his earliest followers lived by.
