Full disclosure: I won this book from Goodreads. I loved some parts of it while other parts I really didn't like, so I'm splitting the difference and giving it 3 stars. It seems like the only fair thing to do.
Everyone else has spent their reviews raving about how wonderful it was, so I'm going to skip over that stuff and mention what bothered me. First, the author's writing style. I could tell she used to work for the home shopping network; the salesman style approach of "here's what I'm gonna tell you next; it will change your life" was not appealing. You're writing a book. I'm reading your book. You don't have to give me any sort of teasers to make sure I don't skip out during the commercial break. Similarly, she would sometimes make statements about how she'd already proved something. Nope, sorry. Sure you mentioned it, but your arguments weren't nearly as concrete as you would like to think. There were a few tangents and a lot more personal stories than I think were necessary, and several times her arguments included statements about how doing this or that would result in financial blessings. I'm not saying that she isn't right, but to use that as a reason for why people should read their Bible or pray or be open to God's communication through dreams?! Nope. I can't get behind that. The first time I read that argument I thought I was imagining it or projecting some sort of stereotype about American Conservative Republicanism. But then it showed up several more times. I don't think people should need the promise of financial remuneration to communicate with the Creator of all things. And finally, she talked a lot about her struggles with epilepsy but was very selective in how she tied it in with her faith & dreams. No discussion of the medical facts such as seizure triggers or the diet treatment that either cures (like me) or drastically reduces the seizures (like her). So those are the things that bugged me.
What I loved about this book was the encouragement for believers to not put God in a box, but to always be listening for Him. I appreciated the acknowledgement that the church has not often been open or accepting about this kind of communication, and wished that she had gone a bit further in her assertions that this needs to change. I was rather wary upon hearing about the chapter devoted to dream symbols, but was pleasantly surprised to see it based on scripture. I appreciated that she mentioned several times that symbols mean different things to different people. The prayers at the end of the chapter, and her numerous reminders that she had prayed for the readers before the book was even finished, served as an interesting way to ponder over the chapter's contents and let it all sink in.
So would I recommend this to someone? I think that would depend on the person.

This book is mostly about the realm of seeing the things of God but does also include a whole chapter on hearing the voice of God as well. This book emphasizes dreams and visions (as per the subtitle, What God Is Telling You through Dreams & Visions) but in actuality is very broad in what is included within.
There is extensive information on the Hebrew definitions of words like vision, dreams, translations and scripture references of the same. This book contains a comprehensive dream symbol dictionary. There are suggested prayers at the end of each chapter and a written out impartation. The author says she is praying for her readers. I believe her because I did dream more the night after I read most of this book. I had a series of about 5 or 6 dreams, more than I usually dream, or at least more than I usually remember dreaming.
This book is unique in one other aspect. I have never seen another dream book (and I have several) that includes medical information on how to get more sleep. (The author interviewed a medical sleep expert for this info.) She also includes plenty of personal stories to keep the reader very interested.
I loved this book and I could hardly put it down. I am hard pressed to find something that I didn’t like in this book. It wasn’t perfect, but it was close!

I have always been a dreamer. I can remember most of my dreams in the morning or have an idea of what happened and sometimes something will trigger my memory and I will remember the craziest dream. My husband tells me I always have crazy dreams. And honestly, a lot of them do seem strange.
Seeing the Voice of God challenges you to start looking at your dreams in a different way. It asks us to wake up (literally) and take notice of what you have been dreaming about. Laura encourages you to write down your dreams as soon as you wake up to gain a better understanding of them. And then run them through the filters or categories she offers in the book to see what God might be speaking to you.
She also talks about the importance of having a good night’s sleep and steps you can take to improve your sleep.
I really liked this book and have been challenged to pay more attention to my dreams and see if God is trying to tell me something. Although, I know some dreams are clearly not from God and in fact the enemy has used dreams in my life to plant seeds of deceit. Thankfully, I have learned to identify these but it has taken me a long time.
Are you a dreamer, do you wonder if God is trying to tell you something? Laura believes that God is always trying to speak to us so why would He stop when we are the quietest? If this book sounds interesting to you I encourage you to pick up a copy. You might find a whole new way to see God’s voice :)

This is a great choice for the person who wants to understand dreams and a Biblical interpretation of them. It is clear, easy to read, and informative. It includes a dream symbol dictionary, dream recall helps as well as explaining the different types of dreams. I enjoyed it and have given it as a gift to friends who were curious about the topic.

Enjoyed this book!
Found it to be helpful and enlightening.
She discusses how God communicates with us through dreams and visions, details types of dreams and visions, tackles barriers to good sleep and dream recall, outlines some Scripture-backed dream symbols, and provides an understanding of the place of the Holy Spirit and prayer in how God communicates with us.
It helped answer the questions that made me pick up this book:
1. What are dreams? Are they different from visions?
2. Why does God chose to communicate through dreams/visions/
3. What approach should I take in interpreting or understanding the dreams I dream?
4. Why would God communicate a dream about someone else to me instead of giving the person the message directly?
The book flows beautifully, easy to read, and carefully written.
My major take-aways from the book are that my relationship with God matters in how I get to relate with God; I will get to recognize and understand His voice better the more I spend time with Him. The other take-away is that the symbols and images we see in dreams may mean different things to different people and so am in a much better position to connect the dots. And lastly, prayer is essential. Pray for understanding. Pray for the things that have been communicated to you. Pray is to be the first action i take after a dream, even if it's a dream of comfort.
Loved the prayers and impartations at the end of each chapter :)

It is great to read a book by a God-fearing person who loves Jesus on the subject of dreams and visions. The author, Laura Harris Smith, says that one third of the Bible is about dreams and visions or the result of a dream or vision. Her book has made me ask if God could be using dreams to speak to me. Here are words to live by: ‘Let it never be said of you that God speaks but that you do not discern, appreciate, consider or realize it. What a shame that would be for the Creator of the universe to have something to say to you and say it, only to have you disregard it as a “pizza dream” ‘ She gives the example of Ezekiel in his day had they had pizza, could have attributed all the symbols to too much pizza. It makes me wonder how much God is trying to communicate that we are dismissing.

I have heard people talk about hearing the voice of God but was not really sure what that meant thus my purchasing this book. After reading the book, I am still not sure I fully understand but it seems one has to still one’s mind and open oneself up to “listening” and studying the Bible. That is if one believes what the Bible says and I know there are very different opinions on the Bible. That being said, I found the book extremely interesting and I would like to explore this topic more.

I am between a 3 and a 4 star review of this book. I wanted to dislike it, but Laura Harris Smith was surprisingly genuine and Bible-focused. I didn't agree with everything in the book, but it provided a lot of food for thought and points to discuss. I agreed with more than I disagreed with surprisingly. Even if the author is on the charismatic side, I still consider her a sister in Christ and I'll continue to consider what she wrote about.

NOW I SEE:
Could not put this book down! I have learned to listen to God's voice because I didn't think He would speak to me in this way. Thank you for sharing your personal life and wisdom to help people just like me to understand that God doesn't just speak to us one specific way.

I saw the book on Daystar tv it got me so interested but I haven’t read it yet. Why I’m so interested to read this book is because I realize long time that God show me this in future through my dreams, this coronavirus crisis I had a dream 7 years ago about it. God give me the special gift of dreams.
I just want to read the book so I can understand more of my dreams.

If you want to hear what God is saying you need to pay attention to your dreams. Laura tells all about what happens when we don't get enough sleep, the stages of sleep and what to do with a deaf and dumb spirit. She ends each chapter with a prayer and declarations to help open your spiritual senses.

I found this book to be encouraging and full of helpful information and testimony as I grow in my communication with God. I appreciated her honesty and encouragement in addressing common issues regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit and counterfeits.

About the Book:
God is always speaking . . . even when He doesn't use words.
We live in a post-verbal society that communicates through images--television, smartphones, the Internet--and our Creator longs to communicate with us visually if we'll live with our eyes wide open.
With absorbing insight, "Seeing the Voice of God" demystifies nighttime dreams and daytime visions, revealing the science behind the supernatural and giving you a biblical foundation for making sense of what you see. You'll also:
learn to discern if what you see is from God
study the ten most common types of dreams
discover spirit, mind, and medical tips for better dream recall
interpret dream symbols and imagery
review the best iPhone and Android sleep cycle apps
Includes a comprehensive Dream Symbols Dictionary with over 1,000 biblical definitions.
About the Author:
Laura Harris Smith founded Eastgate Creative Christian Fellowship with her husband, Pastor Chris Smith, and is the Director for the Eastgate Creative Arts Conservatory, where among other things, she mentors young writers all over the world in her online creative writing classes. An actress, playwright, poet, and media dynamo, she was a TV host on the Shop at Home Network and is the author of multiple books. With one foot in ministry and one in media, Laura and her husband have six children and reside near Nashville, Tennessee. Learn more at www.LauraHarrisSmith.com.
My Review:
Sometimes we can pray and pray for answer in which we need to act on and that answer never seem to come. But God has a way of getting His point across in one way or another, sometimes that answer can come in the form of a dream or vision. I know that my husband specifically has had God speak to him this way on many occassions.
His call to become a minister was first revealed to him through a series of dreams. Just to be verbally confirmed through several different people and situations. The author has explained in her book Seeing the Voice of God, that many times God will speak to us in this way. It maybe that perhaps during the hustle and bustle of life we are so count up in the here and now so much so that we can't hear Him speak to our spirit. So He will choose to reveal His thoughts in another way.
The author also refers back to scripture to show other dreams that were realized to be those thoughts of God's conveyed to others throughout the Bible. After each chapter is a prayer to help aide in this quest for true and real answers to those items you seek from Him as well as thoughts to take with you to ponder on.

Beautiful. Good discussions.

"Seeing The Voice of God" is one of the most comprehensive, well-researched, and Biblically sound books I've read. It is full of so much more than understanding dreams and communication from God to us through dreams, though of course there is detailed study of that. Without ever sounding flaky or fruity, the author covers this subject beautifully with tons of Scripture backing up her teaching, while also including personal experiences. She consults top sleep physicians and specialists to understand the medical fundamentals of sleep and what we can do through diet, supplementation and more to get better sleep and therefore have better dream recall. The author speaks with incredible wisdom regarding everything from always consulting Scripture and prayer for discernment to test the spirits, to identifying counterfeit doctrine & new age, psychic spiritualism, to emphasizing the importance of every Christian- but especially those who are experiencing dreams and visions to be planted in a church with spiritual leaders they can turn to for wise spiritual advice. I never felt uneasy or alarmed in my spirit at anything she said, and in fact was super impressed by how well-thought out and extensive this book was. She even teaches on gifts of the spirit, spiritual warfare & intercessory prayer. There is also a dictionary she created of a thousand dream symbols with scriptures to further study to assist you in interpreting your dreams. I think this book is great for a mature Christian who wants to go to a deeper place of communication with God, but I believe also could be beneficial to someone else as well. The author's voice in the book is very like-able and she is an excellent writer. I breezed right through the book!

This book is absolutely amazing. I can’t even really hit on why it is so amazing it just is! From the very first page I was well engaged and I felt like I was having some sort of epiphany regarding my dreams, what God is telling me, how I listen, how I don’t listen and how to understand when I am truly hearing/seeing the voice of God and His will for my life!
In the very first chapter the author speaks of a dream she had and her husband immediately knew what it meant and then she speaks about how she felt pulled to do something because of the Lord speaking to her and that something is really life altering. What I found to be most interesting about that is it has been something that has weighed on me for over a year and when I read those words I knew that I had to set aside the time and actually follow through just like this author did.
The Lord spoke to me through this book and I really wasn’t expecting that. I was actually expecting some book like I had years ago where you say you dream about cats and you look up cats and it says that you secretly hate swimming or something but this book isn’t like that at all, even with its index! I believe this book will be a part of my spiritual journey and walk with Christ for a very long time and it has a place right under my Bible and my journal because of this.
For anyone who is wanting to know why they don’t have visions or understand the spirit realm then this book offers some awesome tips on how to recognize when it is God speaking to you and not just another dream or thought.

Seeing the Voice of God, reminds us that the Lord uses both our dreams and visions to reach us, so we should not discount them. We are reminded too that if we wholeheartedly give ourselves to God through his Son, Jesus Christ we should expect to talk with him daily.
Smith, points out that even waking dreams are used by God to point us in a certain direction, or to lead us in the way God wants us to go.
The book goes on to describe the different types of prophetic dreams and how the Lord uses them to reach to us.
Not only does this book discuss dreams, but it also highlights the importance of getting the proper amount of sleep, because without that not only are our dreams affected, but our health as well.
If you are looking for a good book on dreams then Seeing the Voice of God is just the ticket.
I give this book five out of five stars.

This is an engaging book for those seeking discernment of their dreams, containing biblical scripture to support its perspective. It reveals if and what God is showing you through your dreams.
I have a clearer understanding of symbolism in dreams, supplements that affect sleep, and a better awareness of my own sleeping habits. I found this book fascinating and the author’s approach to be friendly and articulate.
If you are like-mindedly fascinated with dreams, and curious of their meanings and what messages God may be delivering to us, this book is for you.

This is a very well written book perfect for anyone wishing to grasp an understanding of their dreams and how God speaks to us. If has a conversational feel, as though talking with a long time friend who understands you deeply. It goes beyond simple explanations with well researched information on sleep and more. This is a book to return to many times through life and one I would recommend to about anyone. I am impressed with the entire book, from the layout to the index and everything in between. Definitely well worth the read. I received an evaluation copy from Chosen Books in exchange for my honest opinion and review. In no way has this influenced my opinion.

This is an excellent book for Christians who believe the gifts of the Spirit and spiritual warfare are still for today. Smith received the baptism in the Spirit in 1993 and has seen angels and demons. That may put off some Christians. But for those who believe things like that are still happening, this is a great book. She concentrates on dreams and how God speaks through them. She had a very good chapter on symbols. She has advice on how to sleep well and how to remember our dreams. She also addresses the counterfeit work of Satan. Research shows that we have up to 36 dreams a night. Smith believes that since God created the idea of dreams, we need to pay attention to them. Her book is a good one to help us do that very task. See my full review at http://bit.ly/1nm3Fkp.

This is one of those books you don't put back on the bookshelf after reading. It includes a biblical dream dictionary for future use, but only to assist in helping interpret dreams because God is the Interpreter of our dreams. I have always believed that God created dreams specifically to communicate with all beings. Most of us refuse to be still for five seconds to listen to God and because the spirit of a man never sleeps, God patiently waits until the flesh falls asleep and speaks directly to the spirit. The author does such an awesome job thoroughly explaining in details. Everything she touches on is scripturally based. Remarkable work!

I won this book with Goodreads First Reads.
Seeing the Voice of God is a book about encountering God through dreams and visions. At first I was sceptical that it would be "hokey," but Smith saturates this book With both personal experience, but more importantly, Scripture! I was pleasantly surprised at this book, and it's call to grow closer to God in a way I've never done before. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to take their communication with God to the next level. It's like an altar call to your mattress! So, so good!

For those who dream and see visions
Laura places the context of the book within the framework of her own experience with dreaming and visions. She weaves her own dreams and visions, plus scientific research on dreaming and sleep into her chapters. Her experiences are thought-provoking, and worthy of consideration. Reminding us that everything must be thoroughly examined against the word of God, she gives cautions and guidance for determining if the voice or dream we hear or see is from God.

I love this book! I keep it in my nightstand so when I wake up from dreams I can decode what God spoke to me!
