Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the authentic voice of God,but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion and deception. When life falls apart and we need God's comfort; in moments of cultural turmoil when we need God's clarity; facing formidable decisions when we need God's guidance; desiring a deeper faith when we need God to say something,anything,to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation. Having addressed God's silence in God on Mute,and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller,Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience - How to Hear God. Exploring the story of Christ's playful,poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus,Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions. He weaves together the evangelical emphasis upon hearing God in the Bible,and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic,with the contemplative understanding of God's'still,small voice'within.

MEDIA REVIEWS
This is not just a book written in a charming style,but perhaps in the end a book that will help many change their lives and adjust themselves to hearing that "still small voice" of which the Bible speaks.'Greig's main readership is likely to be young adults in the Charismatic Evangelical wing of the Church. This book will do a solid job helping them listen for the voice of God in everyday life,by way of a broad range of spiritual traditions,while remaining alert to the loopier and more manipulative claims of some would-be channellers of the Almighty.'
