This review is from: Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God Speaks (Paperback)

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"!

This review is from: Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God Speaks (Paperback)

Discerning the Voice of God by Pricilla Shirer is well written. If you are a new Christian and haven't been in doctrine by your faith tradition this book is for you. It allows you to understand that above all else you need to learn to hear God's voice to you directly. This is a great book to give to a new believer in Christ because for me it reminded me of when I first became a christian and how I totally depended on the Lord and was seeking out to know him. I had not gotten busy with all the stuff that we can get busy with. She is humble and tell stories that an average student could relate so you don't have to be working on your M.Div to understand. This book motivated me so much that I plan to order copies and give to all the ladies who attend my next Bible study. Some people give away their favorite things but giving someone a copy of this book to help them in their walk because if you understand the voice of God all the other messages around you take second stage. If you want "deep theology" go to a seminary..this really took me back to my "first love" with Jesus being the only true voice I need to be most concern with. Loved it!
