Listen: Finding God in the Story of Your Life

by Keri Wyatt Kent

In this remarkable book, Keri Wyatt Kent shows how to open ourselves to more love and joy by listening—to God, our hearts, and each other. By listening we discover God in our own stories and in other people’s stories. Throughout the book, Kent shares her personal experiences and shows that by reflecting on our own story we can discover the things that bring us joy and the things we love and hold dear. Once we are more aware of the joy and love that are already in our lives, we can notice God. Listening is the central spiritual practice that makes other practices–such as prayer, worship, and study–transformational in our lives.

I'm the author. Of my 12 books, this one is my favorite. It's about how to listen to God, in both the joys and challenges of our lives. We can hear God through other people, through the Bible, and through the still, small whisper in our soul. This book provides practical help on just how to tune in to the voice of love.

This was very challenging and helpful to me in my Christian walk. I enjoyed her perspective on our story and how to play the role God has given us. Some very helpful suggestions for praying and listening to God.
