Review # 1 was written on 2011-01-11 00:00:00 Athena Nicholas I want to tell you about a book that is changing my life. The book is Can You Hear Me? by Brad Jersak. The book is about discerning the voice of God, listening to it, meeting with Him, and entering into a conversation with Him. My prayer life has been improving so much since reading this book. In fact, I am on my second go round with the book. I generally don't re-read books. I could probably count books I've re-read on my fingers. This re-read is warranted by a couple factors. One, the anecdotes Jersak shares in the book are encouraging examples of how God is moving and working miraculously today. Two, the book provides good exercises and reminders of ways to help us hear God and trust Him. The book has some fairly standard approaches, but also swings into more Pentecostal territory. There are some things that raise my eyebrows, even when they are backed up by scripture. At the end of most sections, he provides some things to try out. The key to this book is actually trying these things out. You can't read this book and gloss over these sections, as I am prone to do. Try out the exercises and you'll be surprised at the results. The key things that this book seems to do differently is that it encourages using imagery in prayer, and letting God speak to you through your imagination. It also encourages the necessary step of applying discernment to what you see and hear. For me, this works so well because words alone are seldom enough to occupy my mind and it scampers off bunny trails and soars on flights of fancy. My prayers have been lists prayed at God, not a conversation with God. By mixing in the visuals, this helps my mind and heart to focus. In my prayer, I have experienced some powerful bursts of emotion and the healing of old hurts. It's really cool. If you would like to add depth to your prayer life or totally resurrect it, this book would definitely be worth a try. My wife says you can read it until you get freaked out. I heartily recommend this book.
