Arsenal Note: This is an updated and revised version of Larry Kreiders book Hearing God 30 Different Ways.

A voice from a flaming bush in the desert . . . thunder and lightning trumpeting from a cloud of smoke . . . a donkey addressing her disobedient master . . . a blinding light on the dusty road to Damascus. When you read these famous biblical descriptions of Gods voice, you might be tempted to believe that He no longer speaks to His children today. Yet God is speaking to you, every day and in a myriad of ways. It may be that you havent yet learned how to hear Him clearly.

Speak, Lord, Im Listening presents more than 50 ways to hear the voice of God and recognize His activity in and through your life. Although He may most often speak through His Word, through circumstances, through other Christians and through commonsense wisdom, dont make the mistake of putting God in a box! His voice is not limited by human rule and preferences, and He promises to make Himself known if you call on Him.

Let the principles of Speak, Lord, Im Listening tune your ears to hear Gods voice, for there is nothing more important than learning to listen. One word from Him can change your life forever!
