I grew up in a “ministry home” and have spent a couple of decades in pastoral ministry. Some of the most exciting times I’ve experienced as I’ve walked alongside new believers is to watch as they learn to hear the voice of God.
In his book, “The Power of a Whisper, Hearing God and Having the Guts to Respond” Bill Hybels challenges the reader to not only learn to hear God’s voice, but act on it!
Hybels shares many snapshots from his own journey and how God quietly and succinctly spoke to him. He also shares some very compelling stories of those around him and the exhilarating journey they have experienced because they not only heard, but acted on the whisper they received from God.
It is not, however, just a book of stories. Hybels clearly shows how God whispers to us using Scripture. He also includes a great chapter on “How to Know When You’re Hearing From God.”
If you or someone you care about is wanting to grow in hearing God’s voice I would highly recommend this book! Hearing God’s voice isn’t as hard as some have made it out to be. Obeying God’s voice, it takes guts!
