Can You Hear Me?

Tuning in to the God Who Speaks

By: Brad Jersak

Narrated by: David Durand

Have you heard God's voice? Seen God's face? Felt God's touch? God desires to transform your prayers into intimate conversations, real meetings with a Living Friend. In this book, Brad Jersak lays out the biblical foundation for the practice of "listening prayer".

Can You Hear Me? combines biblical and historical research, inspiring testimonies, and 33 spiritual exercises - all to train people to hear God more clearly... or rather, to help them discover that they already do.

Chapters include discussions on many themes relevant to our spiritual eyes and ears, including 13 chapters in three sections:

• I. The Simplicity of Listening Prayer
• 1. My Sheep Hear My Voice
• 2. Awakened Hearts: How we hear and see God
• 3. God, is that really you?
• 4. Was that just my imagination?
• II. Encountering God: The Meeting Place of Your Heart
• 5. The Meeting Place
• 6. Meeting God to intercede
• 7. Overcoming Blocks to Meeting God
• III. The Life of Listening Prayer
• 8. Listening Prayer in Decision Times
• 9. Listening Prayer with Children
• 10. Listening Prayer in the Local Church
• 11. Listening Prayer and Outreach
• 12. Listening Prayer, Mercy and Justice
• 13. Listening Prayer for Inner Healing
• Epilogue: Do you want to start a fire?

The 2012 edition, first out on Kindle, includes a foreword by Jason Upton and an appendix entitled "The biblical basis for listening prayer."

For the first time, it also includes a study guide after each chapter for group or personal study.

A favorite book on listening prayer

This will show you, as Brad himself is quoted as saying early on, not how to hear from God but how you are already doing it.

I read this book years ago, went through the workbook (downloadable from the second edition) and learned a lot about hearing from God which I have put to good use ever since. In this audio version, I'm not sure about the reader. He reads well and with expression, and he is easy to understand, but his voice is strident and hard to listen to for any length of time, and I notice myself tuning him out after a few minutes.

Insightful perspective on the words of Jesus.

This brings to the forefront the words of Jesus! The promises He made to each of us, the true nature and character of His Father God, and their desire for us to truly know Them & for Them to know us intimately in all things! It is true: We are not alone! We are created for love & relationship!

Life changing

As a Christian, this is the most important book I have ever read. If you have ever struggled to hear God speak to you, or you aren't sure you're hearing God or yourself, then this is the book you do not want to miss out on.

Genuine

This book is grounded in biblical truth. I recommend it for all who want to be healed permanently.

Decent

Good book. The narrator isn't the best though. Pronounced a lot of words incorrectly.
