How to Hear from God: Learn to Know His Voice and Make Right Decisions Book

So many people want to be able to hear from God, but are not sure how to hear His voice. Joyce Meyer is a fabulous teacher! She breaks it down simply and backs it all up with scripture throughout -- nearly on every page. I have underlined so many things in this book that I think there is writing on nearly every page too. God is speaking to us all the time, but too often we are too busy to be able to hear. By understanding all the different ways that God speaks, it becomes easier to hear Him (through scripture, concious thoughts, prayer, words from others, etc.). Joyce also shares some of the hindrances in our lives to hearing from God. With her wonderful wit and bold examples of her own life of how she's messed up, she helps the reader see that hearing from God is attainable for anyone. I would highly recommend reading this book as a Women's Bible Study. It is so much richer to share experiences with each other about how God speaks to each of us differently and it was so encouraging to hear all the stories about how He works in each person's life around us.

I read this book with a group of about 30 women. We found that it worked well in a 6 week session (Kick off session to pass out books -- then 5 weeks of study and discussion: Chapters 1 - 3, 4 - 6, 7 - 9, 10-12 and 13-14 with a final party.)
We found that it was helpful to summarize the learning each week in a big group and then break into three separate small groups to discuss the individual questions at the end of the chapter. It was truly a special study. We learned so much, grew into a deeper relationship with God and formed such special friendships along the way. During the course of the study, it was truly amazing to see all the different ways that God spoke to each of us! I would highly recommend it for either reading by yourself to strengthen your personal walk with God or for really rich content for a Bible Study. I don't think you will be disappointed!
