Sometimes expectations can either improve or dampen a person's view of a book. Frankly, I didn't expect much when I started to read this book but found so many gems in it, that I think it is a great book to read on Hearing God. I really appreciate Mr. Lord's sharing of his experiences as well as it being instructional. It is measured and takes us step by step in the ways that we hear from the Lord. I would have loved to have this book in my early years as a Christian. It would have been very helpful. I highly recommend this to anyone who is wishing to Discerns God's voice and will.
