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. Book jacket.
