How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People by Pete Greig

 

When life crumbles, how can we discern God speaking? Exploring Jesus' journey to Emmaus, Greig draws on various Christian traditions---including the evangelical emphasis on hearing God in his Word, the charismatic commitment to listening to God in the prophetic, and the contemplative practice of perceiving God's "still, small voice"---to help you understand how God is talking to you!

A Simple Guide for Normal People

Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the authentic voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion and deception. When life falls apart and we need God's comfort; in moments of cultural turmoil when we need God's clarity; facing formidable decisions when we need God's guidance; desiring a deeper faith when we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation. 

 

 

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, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions. He weaves together the evangelical emphasis upon 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.
