Hearing the Voice of God

“Brian Peterson’s practical guide for learning to hear God’s voice is a beautiful blend of the author’s skill as a scholar of the Old Testament, his vocational experience as a gifted teacher and mentor to college students, and his wisdom as a loving father of four children. Weaving together insights from Scripture and personal experiences from his own faith journey, Peterson presents a rich panoply of the many and various ways God speaks to those who would train their ears and tune their lives to God’s voice.”

"Hearing the Voice of God confidently asserts that God speaks today. It also distinguishes itself from the traditional 'just read the Bible' and a culture that trusts the voice of its own inner self. This is a book about the many ways Pentecostals believe God speaks. Simply, God is truly polyphonic! This book is personal. As a lifelong Pentecostal, Peterson weaves through each chapter his own experiences of hearing God's voice. This book is biblical. Each means of divine speaking and human listening has a biblical precedent—God spoke 'this way' in the Bible. This book is practical. Peterson encourages us to be bold in our listening and wise in our discernment. This book is about a spiritual tradition. It is not a Pentecostal novelty to practice listening to God but a spiritual practice in the tradition of Brother Lawrence's The Practice of the Presence of God. Hearing the Voice of God is about God speaking. It is also about human hearing."
