"Is That You, Lord?" Who among us has not at some time asked that question? When faced with an important decision, when debating whether to tackle a tough job, when desiring to follow God's will in our everyday lives, we ponder, "Is That You, Lord?" Gifted writer Roberta Rogers shows us how to take the guesswork out of this all-important question. You will want this inspiring book in your personal collection so you can return to it again, and again.

Necessary Reading

Roberta Rogers does a wonderful job in helping the reader learn how to gain spiritual discernment.I especially like the chapter on "Discerning the Source of Input"- It shows how important it is to realize that we can listen to, and follow, many other "voices" (conscience, emotions...) besides God's.Also, the author's use of anecdotes and personal experiences kept my interest throughout.

Useful and Practical Guidance

One of the most valuable skills we can learn is to discern what is guidance from our lord most high within, and what is not, that is what is from our own ego. One way to learn this skill is the be around someone who has experienced some of this skill. Another way is to read something from someone who has some level of experiencing this skill. That is why I am recommending this book, "Is That You, Lord?: Practical Methods for Learning Spiritual Discernment" Her book is written in practical, everyday terms. That is why it is so valuable. Bobbie writes with honesty and writes of many of her experiences and the experiences of those she knows. You will be able to relate to the subject of discernment with discernment because of Bobbie's contribution. Her friends call her Bobbie, and after reading her book you are likely to be her friend.
