God Whispers: Learning to Hear His Voice [Paperback]

Margaret Feinberg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2002

The vast majority of Americans pray, but how many recognize when God has answered? In the bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook the quiet nudges, the subtle answers and the little ways in which the Creator responds.

GOD WHISPERS isn't as much about how to pray as it is about how to listen. Author Margaret Feinberg challenges readers to live with a tender heart as well as open eyes and ears to the countless ways in which God speaks.

"God is big. He could use anything to communicate with His people," Feinberg writes. "He could fill the sky with messages that beam in the atmosphere for hours. He could paint His words in nature using tree bark, blooming flowers or freshly fallen snow. In modern times, He could send an email, call someone's cell or leave a voice mail message."

"But He doesn't. He takes a much more subtle approach. Instead of shouting, He whispers."

From the Publisher

Relevant Books celebrates the release of God Whispers: Learning To Hear His Voice by Margaret Feinberg. A follow up to Enjoying God, co-authored by Feinberg, God Whispers sheds new light on ways we can connect with God on a daily basis.

We have questions. God has answers. We just don't always hear them. The process of praying and waiting for an answer is undoubtedly one of the most challenging aspects of the Christian faith. Most of us worry, fret and live in a cloud of confusion daily because we don't have an answer to our problems. But God answers all prayer. Sometimes, we just don't recognize the response.

More About the Author

Margaret Feinberg is a popular Bible teacher and speaker at churches and leading conferences such as Catalyst, Thrive and Extraordinary Women. Her books and Bible studies have sold over 600,000 copies and received critical acclaim and extensive national media coverage from CNN, the Associated Press, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and many others.

She was recently named one of the 30 Voices who will help lead the church in the next decade by Charisma magazine and one of the '40 Under 40' who will shape Christian publishing by Christian Retailing magazine. Margaret currently lives in Morrison, Colorado, with her husband, Leif and their superpup, Hershey.

Now that you've read the official bio, here's the kick off your shoes and drink iced tea on the back porch version:

Margaret spends most mornings with her good friends Coffee and God. Without Coffee, mornings would be difficult. Without God, life would be impossible.

After a caffeine and God infusion, you'll often find Margaret (puppy-in-tow) adventuring outdoors--she enjoys hiking, river rafting, and scanning the night sky for the Northern Lights and shooting stars.

She boasts an exceptionally dry sense of humor that she attributes to her Jewish father. Little known secret: He was recently inducted into the Surfer's Hall of Fame, and her mom earned her captain's license for 60-ton ships. They're pretty amazing. You'd like them.

Married to Leif for almost a decade, Margaret's known for losing things like her sunglasses on her head, keys in her hand, or her phone for the 12th time in the same day. Luckily, Hershey hasn't been left anywhere... yet.

For being a writer, friends say she has a surprisingly narrow vocabulary and uses a lot of the same phrases including, "I'm game", "Whahhooo!" and "Oooh! Let's do it."

Always up for an adventure, Margaret is known to drive 50 miles to chase down a food truck and snag Groupons for skydiving on a whim. Some describe her as a bat out of hell behind the wheel. Steer clear. She prefers watching comedies and laughing until her tummy aches over doing sit ups. And if you touch her belly button she gets nauseous. So don't do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal and Challenging October 18, 2002

By M. Warden

Format:Paperback

God Whispers rattles the cage of mediocre Christian spirituality by forcing us to run head on into that one truth we Christians find so hard to believe--God still speaks to his children. In an intimate yet practical way, Margaret shares real-world examples of how God speaks to us today, and challenges us to take the risk to listen and follow His whispers in our daily lives. God Whispers is a solid, biblical exploration of a subject desperately close to our souls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read!!! Shows Us How God Still Shows Up! July 8, 2004

By Natalie Nichols Gillespie

Format:Paperback

Margaret Feinberg weaves beautiful, personal examples throughout God Whispers to show us how God still speaks personally into our lives today. Whether you have never entered into a relationship with God, have not heard from Him in a long time, or speak with Him on a daily basis, God Whispers reminds everyone that the still, small voice perpetually nudges us gently towards Him.
I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking to know the character of God and those who want to deepen their connection with Him. Bravo, Margaret!
