Benefits:  

Challenge yourself in the discipline of daily Bible study. Gain practical advice for knowing and understanding God's voice through His Word. Learn to recognize the Holy Spirit's character, language, and tone of voice. Experience a deeper relationship with God and strengthen your daily walk with Him. Video Sessions: Session 1: A Proactive Stance of Obedience (48:05)--Though trends come and go, some things never change. God is eternal and timeless. We need to stay grounded and rooted in the truth of God and His Word. Jesus is still the only Mediator between God and man. Obedience to God still matters and is the only appropriate response to Him. Session 2: The Holy Spirit (55:10)--Have you placed faith in Jesus Christ? God has sealed you with His Holy Spirit when you are in Christ. All authority, power, and grandure of God the Father is in His Holy Spirit and is in you when you place faith in Jesus. Walking in the Spirit is abundant living. Session 3: The Holy Spirit's Voice (44:35)--Will we respond in obedience to God? The Holy Spirit is the Guide that will never leave you but often He guides you progressively. Keep doing what He has assigned for you today. Stay the path and listen for how He speaks to you personally. Session 4: Reflective of His Heart (36:50)--Do we really want God? Sometimes when life is difficult we stop yearning for God. We lose the desire to just be with God. This session reminds us that God alone is the prize and we need to refocus our attention on our God and being in His presence. Session 5: Revealing of His Plans (42:20)--When seasons of life are hard and challenging we need to trust God even more for His goodness, plans, and purposes to be fulfilled. But God can reach you in the dry place. Sometimes the most intimate time with God is when we are in the midst of difficulties. Expect God to move and that He will reveal Himself. Session 6: A Continual State of Readiness (41:00)--Hearing the voice of God is the one thing that can change the course of your whole life. Relationship with Jesus Christ changes everything. John 10 reminds women of the relationship, the result, the reason, and the response of knowing and hearing God. Session 7: Speak, Lord. (16:10)--In God's grace and mercy know that our mistakes often become the best teachers in our relationship with Him. Dare to ask God to speak to you through the power and authority of the Bible.

Awesome book! Definitely a must read

I read this book and couldn’t put it down. Found a lot a relatable sections.

Amazing

This is a great study! We used it in our Bible study. It was very convicting! Great material.

No special recipe

I lobe Priscilla's writing, very conversational, easy to read. I love all the additional quotes throughout the book and references in the back. I encourahe you tk do the study too if you ever have a chance.

Powerful!

I read this book after reading Shirer's other book related to hearing from God: He Speaks to Me He Speaks to Me: Preparing to Hear the Voice of God. I would recommend this book over the other in a heartbeat. This book spoke to me from the very first page and touches on a problem many of us have: We believe God speaks, but not to US! This book does not have questions at the end of each chapter as her other book does. However, it has two features that are powerful. The first is a small quote from respected Christians answering "How do you know it's God's voice?" The second is intermittent scriptures that allow you to pause and reflect on God's word. Even though there are no questions - it would be EASY to adapt this for a small group Bible study by focusing on the scriptures and sharing insights. One of the best Christian books I have read on this topic!

First Love

Discerning the Voice of God by Pricilla Shirer is well written. If you are a new Christian and haven't been in doctrine by your faith tradition this book is for you. It allows you to understand that above all else you need to learn to hear God's voice to you directly. This is a great book to give to a new believer in Christ because for me it reminded me of when I first became a christian and how I totally depended on the Lord and was seeking out to know him. I had not gotten busy with all the stuff that we can get busy with. She is humble and tell stories that an average student could relate so you don't have to be working on your M.Div to understand. This book motivated me so much that I plan to order copies and give to all the ladies who attend my next Bible study. Some people give away their favorite things but giving someone a copy of this book to help them in their walk because if you understand the voice of God all the other messages around you take second stage. If you want "deep theology" go to a seminary..this really took me back to my "first love" with Jesus being the only true voice I need to be most concern with. Loved it!

Excellent if you are serious about growing in hearing God

We have used this for a women's book study in our church and we have all been blessed by the easy read and yet profound insight into hearing God's voice. Once can always learn new insights and grow in discerning the voice of God and Priscilla provides and excellent tool to help in the growth and stretching to new heights with the Lord.
