Review:
This book should become a classic---but I hope not a classic more revered than enjoyed. -- Leonard Sweet
In these gentle reflections, popular Christian speaker and writer Feinberg (The Organic God) urges readers to listen carefully for the sacred echoes of God's voice amid their daily lives as an “invitation to spiritual awakening.” Not one to shy away from the hard questions, Feinberg keeps asking “why?” as she sees others suffer, acknowledging that “prayers of petition force one to live [with] eyes wide open to see what God may do or leave undone.” Guided by stories in the Bible such as that of Elijah, she draws from her own life and those of the people around her to illustrate the ways that God speaks and the ways that we must pay attention to hear; topics include reminders to follow God's call, help others, build relationships and be patient through times of waiting. While some readers may want a more in-depth approach to the complexities of petitionary prayer in a world where many prayers don't seem to be answered, Feinberg brings an authentic voiceto a perennially difficult subject, and her book serves as a devotional reminder to look for the signs of God's presence everywhere.
