How To Hear God
A Simple Guide for Normal People
Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the authentic voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion, deception and downright abuse.
When life falls apart and we need God's comfort; in moments of cultural turmoil when we need God's clarity; facing formidable decisions when we need God's guidance; desiring a deeper faith when we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation.
Having addressed God's silence in 'God on Mute', and then 'How to Pray' in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience - How to Hear God. Exploring the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions.
He weaves together the evangelical emphasis upon hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God's 'still, small voice' within.

How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People
No one is born knowing how to pray.
Jesus’ disciples, people who followed his every step and word, still had to ask for help. Imagine that. They asked the son of God how to pray. Asking how to pray can be intimidating. In fact, asking for help in any circumstance is scary.
And who would you ask, anyway?
Written for normal people, How to Pray is a simple guide to prayer that fills in the blanks you have - and it comes from the perfect person to teach prayer. Pete Greig.
Pete Greig sees prayer as the basis for everything. Not just everything he does. Everything. He is the founder of the 24/7 Prayer movement, a collection of people who decided that prayer should never have a pause button. Together, they created a movement that, you guessed it, prayed all day every day. 24 hours, seven days a week. As well as this, his prayer work has reached countries all over the world, transforming the lives of clubbers in Ibiza to the destitute in places such as Mexico and Dehli.
As far as questions about prayer go, Pete Greig is the person to ask.
He’s seen it all because he’s done it all.
If you have ever met someone who is totally and utterly passionate about something, you’ll know that it can be infectious. Spend time with a total bibliophile and you’ll come away with a reading list; hang out with a football fanatic and you’ll end up understanding the intricacies of the offside rule (hopefully!). Spend time listening to Pete Greig and you’ll soon understand why prayer is so important.
Passionate people can’t help but share their passion.
For Pete Greig, seeing how much prayer has changed his life has given him a wild enthusiasm for everyone to experience it first-hand.
Assuming no prior knowledge, this new book is Prayer 101. How to Pray guides you through prayer with confidence and clarity. No jargon, no nonsense, no difficulty.
Just a simple guide to prayer in normal, everyday language.
