Customer Reviews

Awesome book! Definitely a must read

I read this book and couldn’t put it down. Found a lot a relatable sections.

Not very happy...

Unfortunately, for me the book I received had water damage at the top of the book and throughout all of the pages. On the back of the book there was a yellow dot tag with the price $1.00, I paid $6.89.

Amazing

This is a great study! We used it in our Bible study. It was very convicting! Great material.

No special recipe

I lobe Priscilla's writing, very conversational, easy to read. I love all the additional quotes throughout the book and references in the back. I encourahe you tk do the study too if you ever have a chance.

Powerful!

I read this book after reading Shirer's other book related to hearing from God: He Speaks to Me He Speaks to Me: Preparing to Hear the Voice of God. I would recommend this book over the other in a heartbeat. This book spoke to me from the very first page and touches on a problem many of us have: We believe God speaks, but not to US! This book does not have questions at the end of each chapter as her other book does. However, it has two features that are powerful. The first is a small quote from respected Christians answering "How do you know it's God's voice?" The second is intermittent scriptures that allow you to pause and reflect on God's word. Even though there are no questions - it would be EASY to adapt this for a small group Bible study by focusing on the scriptures and sharing insights. One of the best Christian books I have read on this topic!

First Love

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!

Excellent if you are serious about growing in hearing God

We have used this for a women's book study in our church and we have all been blessed by the easy read and yet profound insight into hearing God's voice. Once can always learn new insights and grow in discerning the voice of God and Priscilla provides and excellent tool to help in the growth and stretching to new heights with the Lord.
