Synopsis

Grab your prayer journal and start listening to what God wants to say to you today.

What if you could hear from God directly, just as you would from a close friend?

Are you satisfied with a seemingly one-way conversation with God? Do you ever wonder if he really wants to hear from you?

The Art of Listening Prayer is about what it really means to have a personal relationship with God. If God loves his people, maybe it means that he wants to speak one-on-one with us, and if that’s true, shouldn’t our first priority be to learn how to hear from him?

Explore what it means to experience prayer that really is two-way. Using the Bible as a foundation, you can go way beyond theory and grow in this practice of listening prayer.

God wants to speak to you, and at the end of this thirty-day devotional, you will not only learn how to draw closer to him, you'll be equipped with a practical process to hear from him on a daily basis.

About this title

About the Author

It was only after completing business school and continuing on in ministry that I discovered what had been missing from my walk with the Lord all my life: Intimacy. 

While I'd always heard about having a personal relationship with Christ, I never understood that it's possible to hear His voice. I was at a retreat where Peter Lord spoke. And not only did I hear God speak to me in a very personal way, but I discovered for the first time what a personal relationship with God can be. 

This is where The Art of Listening Prayer was birthed. When this principle changed me life, I wanted everyone to be able to know and hear God's voice. 

I wrote The Art of Listening Prayer in 2004, and have been encouraged over and over again with the stories of lives that have changed through reading it.

Since then, I began to earnestly seek the Lord. Prayer became much more important to me. Evangelism became a passion. And now, late in life, I'm discovering experientially what it means to disciple others as I've discipled my own teenagers.I'm a work in process. I've found that the main thing one needs in a relationship with God is hunger to know Him and be in His presence.

From the Inside Flap

His sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.

This interactive devotional is for the person who isn't satisfied with a dry faith. If you're dying to hear God's voice, the good news is that you can! Jesus is the door, and He has opened Himself up to you.

A personal relationship with God. What does it really mean?

If God loves His people, couldn't it be that He desires to speak one-on-one with us? If so, wouldn't our first priority be to learn how to hear from Him? It's one of the most important questions of our lives.

Yet many of us settle for a one-way, humdrum monologue, in which we do all the talking and give God no time to speak back.

This interactive devotional is for the person who isn't satisfied with a dry faith. If you're dying to hear God's voice, the good news is that you can! Explore what it means to experience prayer that really is two-way.

Using the Bible as a foundation, you can go way beyond theory and grow in the practice of listening prayer. This devotional will help you do it.
