Listening To The Voice Of God by Shirley Smith

  Oh how I long to hear His voice. I think it's something most Christians want to experience in their journey of faith. Shirley Smith is one of the "lucky ones." In her book, Listening to the Voice of God, she  gifts the reader with her personal witness of God moving in her life. 

   Smith's experiences are based on God's Word as recorded in the Holy Bible and portrays God's gracious response to those who have faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The author uses this book to show us the many ways that God speaks to us in this time. Scripture is the backbone to most all her claims.Circumstances and strong inner conviction round out her case. 

I enjoyed reading this book. It was an easy quick read. However, it wasn't exactly what I expected. Smith's book is more of a personal account of her experiences seeking the voice of God and how she got there. I was expecting a kind of "how-to" self help type book. Regardless of my assumptions, the book was extremely helpful. Smith begins by giving us a thorough introduction on why we need Jesus in our lives, why we as Christians NEED to hear God- why LISTENING is so important and how we can use His Word to answer these critical questions. 

   I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to read Listening To The Voice Of God and learn practical applications for my own journey with God. I appreciated all the real life examples and ties to scripture found in the book. 

  I give this book a rating of 4/5 and would recommend it to Christians looking to further their relationship with The Father through prayer, meditation and Bible study.
