Reading the Bible is different than reading any other book. It is more than a narrative about God; it is more than a story of broken individuals and the trials they faced. It is more than a set of rules and regulations. It is even more than a love letter. It is the very essence of Jesus. It is about him, but there is more than that. It is God’s conversation with us. It is alive. It is active. It is a two-way conversation.

Beloved author Henry Blackaby and his son Richard help those who are listening to discern the voice of God, to identify ways He speaks, and to respond to revelations of His will. God speaks to individuals in ways that are personal and unique to each person. God will never say anything that contravenes what He has said in the Bible. After you learn to listen to God, hearing from God will be as natural as communicating with a close friend.

In this book you'll learn more about how we can hear God speaking to us daily. Several verses emphasize the importance of prayer as a means of seeking God's presence, guidance, and peace. Through prayer, Christians believe they can cultivate a deeper relationship with God and be receptive to His voice and direction in their lives. It's important to approach prayer with a humble and open heart, listening for God's response through various means, including inner convictions, promptings, and insights, which are often interpreted as His voice speaking to the believer.

I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of “the last time that things were real” and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake “at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one” and the future seems to be “just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.” Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder’s poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anew—sleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be.

We often think the process of hearing God’s voice is more complex than it really is. We may be straining to hear God speak in one specific way, when in fact, He is communicating in creative and unique ways which we must learn to discern. As you discover the different ways God speaks, you can position yourself to hear His voice with fresh, supernatural clarity!

Does God still speak today? Is prophecy a relevant gift, if so, why? After all, God gave us a Bible, what else is there for Him to say that it does not say already? These kinds of questions plague the modern Church. Some believers say that God is speaking to them in dreams, visions, and voices. Others opposed such experiences, believe it is heretical and even blasphemous against the Bible to claim such encounters with God. Finally, there are those caught between the two extremes that desire a well-crafted and biblical answer. As of now, there is plenty of material justifying the ...

The market is flooded with books, conferences, and workshops on how to be a better leader. In most companies, leaders are noticed and applauded while followers are often viewed as weak and passive.

In The Call to Follow, Richard Langer and Joanne J. Jung teach listeners that "followership" is essential to both organizational and spiritual flourishing.
