An inner knowing? A quiet certainty? Perhaps a verse which jumps out as we’re reading the Bible. Can we really ‘hear’ God’s voice today? And if so, how?
The God of the Bible is a God who speaks, who spoke the world itself into being, his word is powerful and it will accomplish what he sends it to do. Our God promises to speak to us, to be found by us; he promises that the old will dream dreams and the young will have visions, and he thunders from the heavens.
But so often we struggle to hear God for ourselves, in our daily lives. Or to be sure it is really him.
From Bill Cahusac comes this wonderfully insightful book exploring some of those questions. With fascinating personal stories, he explores the different ways we can encounter God’s voice, and encourages the reader to be open to God speaking in any situation – whether that’s in the supermarket checkout queuing to buy bread, or at a football match, or driving around a roundabout that you’ve driven around countless times before.
The secret to hearing and learning to recognise God’s voice, writes Bill Cahusac, is spending time getting to know the God of the Bible himself, spending time in his word and in worship. Simply enjoy being with him, being home, being a friend, and we will encounter the joy of that unexpected but undeniable gentle whisper.
