Nine Ways God Always Speaks

Mark Herringshaw and Jennifer Schuchmann

ISBN:9781414322261

Time constraints hinder me from writing a lengthy review.  I shall simply say that I looked forward to receiving this book when Tyndale asked that I review it.

The book is well written.  It is anecdotal.  It does not pretend to give a theology of God’s speaking.  It gives accounts of people who believe that they have heard the voice of God in various ways.

I tend to shy away from some of the more sensational seeming things that are said about God speaking to people.  Does He speak in dreams?  Does God use circumstances?  I’m open to those possibilities.  This book will certainly challenge what one thinks about the subject of hearing from God.

The authors write and use experiences from their lives as well as the testimonies of others.

In the end, they seek to emphasize that all experiences in which one thinks he/she has heard from God must conform to the Scriptures.  I like that.

A very interesting book.  It is thought provoking.  It is enjoyable.  I may take it off the shelf and read it again.
