How to Recognize When God is Speaking
Ms. Shirer does an excellent job in explaining how we hear God through His Word. She speaks from personal experience and empathizes well with the reader. She includes personal stories and stories from friends to back up the concepts. Of course, plenty of
I like the way she emphasizes that God speaks primarily through His Word. But she also does briefly go into some other ways He speaks and the need for confirmations. She believes in prophetic words and included an example for that but this book is not about prophetic things in general. What is not included is any discussion of dreams or visions or anything along those lines.
In general I found this book to be challenging, true, honest, and real and a good way to solidify your grounding in the Word. She included talking about the importance of obedience and not only the how to hear God but the why He wants to talk to us, too.
This book would be excellent for someone who thinks they’ve never heard God’s voice before and would be a very good refresher for those who have heard His voice. It would also be good for charismatic/prophetic people who may be focusing too much on the spectacular and have lost their mooring in the Word.

Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God is Speaking by Priscilla Shirer is a fantastic book that shows ways that God does still speak to us today if we will only take time to listen.
Ms Shirer does an absolutely amazing job in explaining how we can hear God through his word, how God
There are interesting chapter challenges at the end of each chapter for us to try that will bring us closer to God and recognizing when He is speaking to us.
I personally remember a time when I thought a person was crazy that said that they had heard from God, but He does still speak to us His word his very much alive!
I enjoyed this book from start to finish, as it confirmed for me what I was already experiencing. Can't wait to share this book with others who want to learn how to tell when God is speaking.
One of my favorite quotes from the book is...
"He speaks. God speaks. Your Lord and Savior speaks. To you. So wake up expecting. Arrive expecting. Come expecting. Live expecting. Never stop...Expecting."

I picked up this workbook because a friend invited me to join a Women's Bible Study group at our church. I am very glad she did! It was a 6 week course that we did and it was brief yet deep. It is not a study to just scratch the surface of Christian fluff, this is very interactive. This workbook
Priscilla Shirer gives stories that relate to the study as well as stories that are easy to relate to. I did not expect to learn so much from this study and I look forward to reading her other books. She has a way of teaching biblical principles by showing where they come from as well as making them applicable to modern day life. I would recommend this book for any Christian looking to dig a little deeper into their faith. I would also recommend this for any non-Christian who may be curious about Christianity.
