For many believers, prayer often feels more like talking to the ceiling than conversing with a loving God: You strain your ears and heart to hear, but you are never quite sure anyone is talking back. You look to the Bible for answers, but find your questions and concerns not addressed specifically in its pages. Yet instructions on how to hear God speak are clearly laid out there.

In this revised and updated edition of the classic bestseller, you will discover an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide to developing a rich prayer life moving from one-way communication to God to two-way conversations with your Father. As you develop your ability to hear God and discern His voice, you will hear Him speak many kinds of things to you, including guidance, revelation, wisdom, and comfort. God is speaking today. And Hes speaking to you. Will you learn to recognize and cherish His voice?
