Product Description
#1 bestselling author andwell-known speaker Joyce Meyer explains the ways in which God speaks- and teaches readers how to listen. In the hustle and bustle of today's busy world, sometimes it's hard enough to hear yourself think, much less to take a minute to stop and listen for the voice of God. But learning to recognize God's voice and the many ways in which he speaks is vital toward following his plan. In her book, Joyce Meyer reveals the ways in which God delivers his word-through signs, revelations, and internal confirmation-and the benefits of asking God for the sensitivity to hear his voice. By developing a tender conscience and attentive ears, readers will find peace and fulfillment as God governs each day, each step of the way.

 Finding God's Spiritual Plan for Your Life February 12, 2004

In the introduction to this book (one of the top-ten best selling religious books of 2003), author Joyce Meyer says, "Learning to hear from God and be led by the Holy Spirit is very exciting. God wants to speak to us about the plan He has for our lives. His plan is a good plan, but we are in danger of missing it if we don't learn how to listen to and obey God's voice." (Page vii). This book is Meyer's way of helping the reader learn how to do both.
In describing ways of listening to God, Meyer lists many ways in which God speaks to us. Many are ways that we might think of readily, such as through the Bible and prayer. But she has a much longer list of ways that God makes God's desires known to us, from dreams and visions to the wise counsel of others, and does not fail to mention the world around us as a communicator of God's will.
Obedience is the visible sign that we hear, love and trust God, and Meyer has a number of insights for Christians who are long on facts but short on respecting what God requires. In fact, it is in this area that Meyer's work shines. For example, there is an excellent section on forgiveness. She says, "A woman once share with me that she asked God to give her direction concerning what God wanted her to do. He clearly put in her heart that He wanted her to forgive her sister of an offence.... Over a period of two years, every time she asked for guidance...He gently reminded her, `I want you to forgive your sister.' Finally, she realized that she would never grow spiritually if she didn't do the last thing God had told her to do." (Page 15). The concept of being disciplined in reading the Word and in prayer, as well as in putting what we hear into practice, is what the book is all about. In fact, its motto might be, as Meyer states: "Pray. And obey. Pray. And obey".
This is intended to be a deeply personal book; by this I mean that the author invites the reader to read, absorb and find spiritual renewal and growth in so doing. Yes, there are questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, so it would also work as a small group study, but in reality, the questions are for the individual reader to ponder. As is the whole book.
Joyce Meyer is a popular evangelist and speaker, known for her "Life in the Word" broadcasts. Joyce Meyer's book is a wonderful encouragement to your faith. If you read it, I believe it will have a rewarding and renewing impact upon your faith journey.
If you find this review helpful you might want to read some of my other reviews, including those on subjects ranging from biography to architecture, as well as religion and fiction.

Anyone who knows Joyce Meyers knows what an excellent teacher she is and this book holds true to that.This is a easy to read book with a lot of information on different ways to hear Gods voice. I would recommend it to everyone no matter what denomination you are. Its not about denomination anyway, its about knowing God. We all need a personal relationship with the Lord and to know His voice.
To the Lady that rated this 1 star Please read the book again September 15, 2005

You refer to this book as "Mindless Dribble." You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, I feel that the grounds on which you based your opinion are flawed.
Ms. Meyer never tells one to look anywhere other than the "Word" to find God. In this book she simply shows us what we may be missing in our daily communication with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Her writing is all biblically based. I agree that we should all live by the Word. However, do you not pray? Do you not "Talk" to God? I know I do. Ms. Meyer simply shows how we may be failing to hear his answers.
this book has been immensely helpful in my daily life.
Please give it another read.

This book was excellent and a must read for all Christians. Most pastors and churches do not teach of the Holy Spirit and do not tell you that He is desperately needed in your life. That is why so many people come to christianity and fall right back in their old life. They don't lead Spirit-led lives. And not only that, they don't recognize the spirit and all the different ways God talks to you. There are so MANY different ways God gets His message across to you. And Joyce Meyers did an excellent job of stating them. This is for those who love Jesus and don't understand why their life is not going how they want. Jesus will give you power through the Holy Spirit.
A must read for anyone wanting to grow towards God. July 19, 2004

I am a baby Christian. I recently was at a Promise Keepers event, and asking a small group from my brother's church how they know when they found God, and how do they know when he speaks? They could'nt really describe it, exept that is is awesome, and that I will know. They reminded me of the verse, "Seek and you will find." I later prayed for the passion to seek God and for him to come into my heart. Well 2 weeks later I found this book starring at me in WalMart. I have grown so much in so little time, before and after this book...I think more than some many probably do in a lifetime. I think that between this book and The Purpose Driven Life, and of coarse The Bible...you will grow to spiritual maturaty assuming you have the will.
