The Freedom Diaries: God Speaks Back

by Mark Holloway

WHEN HIS LIFE SUDDENLY FALLS APART, MARK HOLLOWAY DISCOVERS GOD SPEAKS BACK

After 37 years of believing in a God who seldom speaks, Mark’s life goes down the plughole in a single day. Worse, he discovers it’s his own doing. Terrified, he screams out to God, just like he did years before when his son and daughter were dying. To his amazement God speaks back. And this time keeps on talking. An unbelievable conversation with God begins. As his life continues to slide into an abyss, Mark is plagued by doubt. Would God really talk to him like this? Worse still he discovers his conversations with God have made him a disappointment to religious people. Thoroughly disillusioned he decides to stop.

But God keeps talking.

Every day God turns up and says encouraging and hopeful things to Mark when there is no hope. A growing number of others hear what Mark is doing and try it themselves. Suddenly they too are hearing God speak. The conversation with God begins to spread. Could this be what Isaiah, Jeremiah, David and Paul talked about?

AMAZING! God answers tough questions clearly!

AT LAST! Proves whoever you are, the God of the bible is eager to talk.

Mark guarantees that if you read his story you'll start hearing God speak to you, and I for one can attest to that! This book has thrown the doors of my relationship with God wide open. I will never approach or think of prayer in the same way. I recommend this book to anyone who desires to hear God speak to them!

I found it good but I'm used to the idea of how to have back and forward conversations with God already. The book assumes that the majority of Christians don't know how to have a conversation with God. So for me it didn't introduce too many new ideas. It will be a great aid to people who are unfamiliar with this concept. It's good to read about someone else doing something I've been somewhat taking for granted, somewhat. This should be a natural part of our Christian faith. So if you don't know how to hear from God or have a conversation with Him, this is a worthwhile read. The overall tone of the book is positive all the way through, even when dealing with the difficult stuff.

I enjoyed this book. It was written with a sense of humor and it was not something that I lost interest in

worth reading and taking away absorbing

wow. I saw Mark on Instagram and immediately downloaded his book. The premise is simple: God wants to have paragraph-long conversations with you. Period. And He will if you simply turn your attention to Him and step out in faith by writing what God is saying back to you. It's so simple. Yet, this book really really stirred me on the inside.

The book isn't really a how-to, although there is a chapter or two about exactly what to do. But really, it's mainly full of Mark's conversations with God. I couldn't put it down and so much of it resonated with me and (what's the spiritual phrase?) my spirit bore witness to it.

I'm not going to say I highly recommend it b/c if I had read it 5 years ago I wouldn't have believed it and looked down on Mark's experience. (Hello religion.) But. If you are hungry for the voice of the Lord, if you are certain there is something more that you haven't experienced with Him yet, this book will show you the something you need to experience.

WRONG PREMISE; he starts thinking there is a god and that god can interact with him. Other religions and the mentally ill believe that too but he wouldn't believe that they were correct so we shouldn't assume that he is correct. Belief in god is not spirituality but psychology and sociology in action.
There is NO GOD and no PROOF that the Christian view of god is nearer to truth than any others.

I had a lot of spiritual revelations while reading this. A lot of Christian books have 2-3 ideas which they expand on but this had sometimes 2-3 per paragraph.
But one overall idea which will impact my walk with God forever.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves God.

Very inspiring

A book that I was unable to stop reading once I started;a new understanding of the relationship God wants with his “children “.
