Forever Ruined for the Ordinary

This book and the writing of Joy Dawson lives up to its title, "Forever Ruined for the Ordinary." The list of items written on the back cover were all fulfilled. These items include Know How to Hear God's Voice, Discover 24 Ways He communicates, Discern between God's voice and other voices, Know why God delays answers to prayer, and eight more statements to the question Do you want to: I strongly endorse the book. It certainly changed me for the Ordinary and I thank God for it.

Awesome Book by an Awesome Woman

If you are hungry for a Intimate relationship with God your hunger will be satisfied as you read about the Author's walk with God. A Must read for every Christian.

one of the best Christian books out there!

I can't believe there's only two reviews made for this amazing book. Although I've just recently started reading this book today (i'm only on page 29), I felt an urge to write a review. Ok, so how can i make a claim saying this is one of the best Christian books out there? I have been reading a little more than several Christians books written by many pastors, contemporary prophets (yes, they do exist!), and so on, but Joy Dawson, the author, makes it easy to understand the privileges and the rights we have as God's children. God does communicate with His children in many ways, but many a times we don't stop to listen to Him. I am very excited about finishing this book. There are other great books that I would recommend: Exceedingly Growing Faith by Kenneth E. Hagin (for physical healing by faith), Heavenly Man by Brother Yun (about persecution and miracles in China), Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands by Paul David Tripp (for those who want to counsel but really for anyone who wants to grow), Final Quest by Rick Joyner (prophetic and spiritual insight), and lastly, though the list of great books are limitless, i want to end with Red Moon Rising by Greig & Roberts (a call to 24/7 prayer). Blue Like Jazz (post-modern) and Bruchko (tales of the mission field) are also great.

Wonderful

The stories that Joy Dawson tells capture the reader. She expresses her personal relationship with God in a beautiful way that makes the reader long for the intimacy that she has. =]

READ THIS BOOK NOW WITHOUT DELAY

This book reiterates much of what I have found in my own walk with God, but something which the average Christian is unaware is available to him/her. IF YOU HAVE EVER SAID, "I would follow God's will, if I only knew what He wanted. If only He would drop a little sign from Heaven...", THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. You can know God's will. He wants you to know His will. This book will teach you how. Read it now without delay!
