How to Hear God

I’ll be honest: I want nothing in life as intensely as I want to commune with the One who made me. But living in this noisy world, with sounds, images and information coming at us 24/7, how are we to hear Him when He speaks?

A Worthwhile Website

If you want to join me in the project I’ve set for myself in this latest article, try the online tool at Memverse. I’ll be using it myself, as it is a simple interface and has email reminders available, as well as a chart to keep track of my progress. Just my cup of tea!

Read this Book

Drawing Near is a little bitty book, packed with great guidance. It’s by Kenneth Boa and Max Anders. It contains scriptural prayers for different situations, several plans for Bible reading and memorization, an extensive list of suggested memory verses arranged by topic in three progressive levels (!!), and a thirty-one day guide for your morning devotions. I use mine for a while, then drift away, then come back to it whenever I feel the need to anchor my Morning Watch, as I call it, or to renew my efforts to memorize Scripture. If you can find a copy, I highly recommend you snatch it up.

I hope to hear from you soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. Feel free to pass this newsletter along to any family and friends interested in exploring the riches of the Bible and strengthening their faith.

Serving our sweet Savior,
