Summary: Excellent
Review: Anyone who knows Joyce Meyers knows what an excellent teacher she is and this book holds true to that.This is a easy to read book with a lot of information on different ways to hear Gods voice. I would recommend it to everyone no matter what denomination you are. Its not about denomination anyway, its about knowing God. We all need a personal relationship with the Lord and to know His voice.

Summary: Be still and know that He is God!
Review: For most of us, if we were honest, often times when it comes to hearing from God, He is really the last person we want to hear from. Why? Because sometimes we don't want to hear what God has to say and we want to do our own thing. To further complicate matters, many of us may not know how to discern God's voice at all. In addition, listening for and to God, as well as obedience, is central to the believer's walk of faith. Meyer provides practical and sound teaching on the many ways God speaks to us and how we can learn to discern the way He speaks. Don't go through life missing God's divine plan for your life. Learn how to hear God's voice and you will have the grace of God that brings freedom and restoration. "Be still and know that He is God."
Highly- recommended.***** Submitted by M. Lorraine for www.goodgirlbookclubonline.com The GOOD GIRL Book Club

Summary: A must read for anyone wanting to grow towards God.
Review: I am a baby Christian. I recently was at a Promise Keepers event, and asking a small group from my brother's church how they know when they found God, and how do they know when he speaks? They could'nt really describe it, exept that is is awesome, and that I will know. They reminded me of the verse, "Seek and you will find." I later prayed for the passion to seek God and for him to come into my heart. Well 2 weeks later I found this book starring at me in WalMart. I have grown so much in so little time, before and after this book...I think more than some many probably do in a lifetime. I think that between this book and The Purpose Driven Life, and of coarse The Bible...you will grow to spiritual maturaty assuming you have the will.

Summary: One of many 5 star reads
Review: I reviewed the audio version for MyShelf.Com.
Meyer combines points from her sermons. Her goal is to show Christians how to hear from God, what to expect, and the blessings in so. She talks about hearing from God in various ways, including one's thoughts, the words of others, and even dreams, giving various examples throughout the book.
Anyone looking to be a better person in their walk with God should pick up all Joyce Myer's books. Meyer speaks to men and woman in all walks of life. I once heard Queen Latifia--of music and movie fame--mention on TV that she was reading one of Meyer's books for personal improvement. How cool is that! The author narrates the audio version. Although not as dramatic as in her meetings, she still gets all her points across.

Summary: Finding God's Spiritual Plan for Your Life
Review: In the introduction to this book (one of the top-ten best selling religious books of 2003), author Joyce Meyer says, "Learning to hear from God and be led by the Holy Spirit is very exciting. God wants to speak to us about the plan He has for our lives. His plan is a good plan, but we are in danger of missing it if we don't learn how to listen to and obey God's voice." (Page vii). This book is Meyer's way of helping the reader learn how to do both. In describing ways of listening to God, Meyer lists many ways in which God speaks to us. Many are ways that we might think of readily, such as through the Bible and prayer. But she has a much longer list of ways that God makes God's desires known to us, from dreams and visions to the wise counsel of others, and does not fail to mention the world around us as a communicator of God's will. Obedience is the visible sign that we hear, love and trust God, and Meyer has a number of insights for Christians who are long on facts but short on respecting what God requires. In fact, it is in this area that Meyer's work shines. For example, there is an excellent section on forgiveness. She says, "A woman once share with me that she asked God to give her direction concerning what God wanted her to do. He clearly put in her heart that He wanted her to forgive her sister of an offence.... Over a period of two years, every time she asked for guidance...He gently reminded her, `I want you to forgive your sister.' Finally, she realized that she would never grow spiritually if she didn't do the last thing God had told her to do." (Page 15). The concept of being disciplined in reading the Word and in prayer, as well as in putting what we hear into practice, is what the book is all about. In fact, its motto might be, as Meyer states: "Pray. And obey. Pray. And obey". This is intended to be a deeply personal book; by this I mean that the author invites the reader to read, absorb and find spiritual renewal and growth in so doing. Yes, there are questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, so it would also work as a small group study, but in reality, the questions are for the individual reader to ponder. As is the whole book. Joyce Meyer is a popular evangelist and speaker, known for her "Life in the Word" broadcasts. Joyce Meyer's book is a wonderful encouragement to your faith. If you read it, I believe it will have a rewarding and renewing impact upon your faith journey.

Review: This book is chalked full of nothing but nonsense and false assumptions. I would recommend reading "Losing Faith in Faith" by Dan Barker.
