Hearing God

by Dallas Willard

How to discern God's voice without superstition: the still small voice, the role of Scripture, the tests of guidance, and the conversational relationship Willard thinks is normal. Sober and freeing for readers burned by 'God told me' culture.

Skip it if…

you want certainty; Willard offers maturity instead.

Try instead: My Utmost for His Highest →

Three things you will actually use

  1. Guidance is a relationship, not a technique.
  2. Test the voice by Scripture, circumstance and counsel.
  3. Maturity means fewer dramatic signs.

Do this first

Read the chapter on the still small voice and its rivals.

Our verdict

Guidance, carefully.
