My men's Bible study group just finished this book. I have, sadly enough been in a one way conversation with God for years. I have always wanted the burning bush response from God or at least the loud audible voice telling me what He wants me to do. As a result I haven't been a very good listener. This book was very helpful in that I found that God often speaks to me through others or through the Holy Spirit inside me but it is most often in a whisper.I am getting better at listening to God and for God but it certainly isn't a light switch that I just turn on. I have to practice and be patient. Be still and know that He is God. I don't often sit in silence praying to God. Too often there is a radio on, a TV on or some other distraction. I need to do a better job creating alone time with my Father. This is the first book by Bill Hybels thatI've read, though I have heard him preach a lot at Willow as I have family near Barrington. This book came at the right time for me as I've been looking for His direction in my life....I have a few choices to make career wise and I want to make the choice based on His will. This book has given me the tools to start being a better listener (as I like to tell my 7 year daughter from time to time) to His word. Now it's up to me to take the tools I've been given and to execute changes in my life so that I may have an ear better tuned to His word.A definite read for any Christian regardless of where they are in thier journey down His path.
This is a book that personally moved me to celebrate those times when I have heard God's whispers!

Bill Hybels is blessed with a special ability to connect with his congregation and his readers!

I liked the first part of this book, but the second part began to seem repetitive.
