Hearing God

Developing a Conversational Relationship with God

By: Dallas Willard

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

Being close to God means communicating with Him-telling Him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but that also can be so difficult. How do we hear his voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear?

The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our creator. In this updated classic, originally published as In Search of Guidance, the author provides a rich, spiritual insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with Him in the work of His kingdom.

Good book! Very helpful

The content is outstanding.
The recording was lacking. It seemed to have a strong echo throughout the whole reading. If that could be removed the audio version would be a home run.

One of the Most Important Books on Spirituality Period

Do yourself a favor and read. The narrator leaves much to be desired, but focus on the book.

Learn to Listen to God

There’s a lot to unpack, but if you’ve wondered about how to learn to listen to God speak with you, this is a great place to start. Highly recommend.

Mind opening

To someone who's grown up in church, this book was mind opening. The author points out how God still speaks to us today. He dismantles some common traditions found in the church. He urges us to have a friendship with God.

The book is very dense. The beginning flows better than the ending. This is not a fault, of course. I attacked the beginning with enthusiasm. As the book wore on The information became dense, and I had to pause and reflect. This is what I mean by dense.

I recommend this book to anyone who is spiritual, interested in spiritual things, or philosophical. I'd also argue that anyone who is a Christian and wants to hear from God should give this book a listen.

I’m so grateful to find this book – intriguing, insightful, enlightening!

It really happens just like he says – praise God. I have been looking for the lessons taught in this book all my Christian life. Leave it to Dallas Willard to be the one who put these perspectives and experiences on paper.
