Whisper: How to Hear the Voice of God
By Mark Batterson (Multnomah, 2017)

The best-selling author of Circle Maker, which helped over 2 million people learn to talk to God, now helps readers learn how to listen to God.

The voice that spoke the cosmos into existence is the same voice that parted the Red Sea,and made the sun stand still in the midday sky. One day, this voice will make all things new, but it’s also speaking to you now!

That voice is God’s voice, and what we’ve learned from Scripture is that he often speaks in a whisper—not to make it difficult to hear him, but to draw us close. Many people have a tough time believing God still speaks. Sure, in ancient times and in mysterious ways, God spoke to his people, but is he still speaking now?

Mark Batterson certainly believes so. And he wants to introduce you to the seven love languages of God, each of them unique and entirely divine. Some of them you might suspect, but others will surprise you. By learning to tune in to and decipher each language, you’ll be able to hear God’s guidance in simple as well as life-altering choices. God is actively speaking through Scripture, desires, doors, dreams, people, promptings and pain. Batterson gives you the tools you need to unlock each of these languages.

God’s whisper can answer your most burning questions, calm your deepest fears and fulfill your loftiest dreams. Discover how simple it is to hear God’s voice in every aspect of your life. He’s speaking, make sure you know how to listen!

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
