Reviews'God is not silent. However, often we are too busy to hear his voice. How to Hear God is a biblically based, historically illustrated look at the various ways in which God speaks. In reading and reflecting on its message, I have become a better listener. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a more intimate relationship with God.'

SynopsisYou were created to enjoy a real, conversational relationship with God. The Bible says that hearing the voice of our Creator is both central and natural to our existence as humans. When life falls apart, we need God's comfort. In moments of cultural turmoil, we need his clarity. Facing difficult decisions, we need his guidance. Desiring a deeper faith, we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation. But how do we really hear God? Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern his authentic voice, and yet few things in life are more susceptible to delusion, deception, and downright abuse. Having addressed God's silence in God on Mute , and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience-- How to Hear God . Exploring the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions; weaving together the evangelical emphasis on hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God's "still, small voice" within. "Pete transcends the Christian tribalism of our day... rooting us in something far more ancient, unchanging, timeless. What the early Christians called the Way. This ancient form of Christianity is the antidote to much of the modern church's pain. The cure for our ills." --John Mark Comer, In this follow-up to How to Pray, Pete Greig turns his attention to one of the most pressing and perplexing questions of our time: How to Hear God. Writing with characteristic humor and humanity, he draws deeply from the rich insights of a range of Christian traditions, adding his own hard-won discoveries., One of the most trusted voices on prayer turns his attention to one of the most important topics of our time: how to hear God. "I need guidance." "I desire to grow in my faith." "I need the Bible to come alive." "I want to understand prophecy." "I need my prayers to be answered." Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion and deception. Writing with refreshing honesty and humor, Pete Greig explores the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus and champions the ancient practice of lectio divina. Citing heroes as diverse as Augustine, Sojourner Truth, and Heidi Baker, Pete skillfully waves together the insights of four great Christian traditions: the evangelical emphasis on hearing God in the Bible, the charismatic experience of hearing God in prophecy, the contemplative understanding of God's "still small voice" within, and the sacramental celebration of God's unending revelation in creation and culture. This is a book to make your faith come alive by turning your ordinary, everyday prayers into a real, conversational relationship with the God who is speaking, more than you know.
