Publisher's summary

You were created to enjoy a real, conversational relationship with God.

The Bible says that hearing the voice of our Creator is both central and natural to our existence as humans.

• When life falls apart, we need God's comfort.
• In moments of cultural turmoil, we need his clarity.
• Facing difficult decisions, we need his guidance.
• Desiring a deeper faith, we need God to say something, anything, to turn the monologue we call prayer into a genuine conversation.

But how do we really hear God?

Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern his authentic voice, and yet few things in life are more susceptible to delusion, deception, and downright abuse.

Having addressed God's silence in God on Mute, and then How to Pray in his previous bestseller, Pete Greig is back to bring wisdom and guidance to one of the most pressing and perplexing aspects of universal Christian experience—How to Hear God.

Exploring the story of Christ's playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions; weaving together the evangelical emphasis on hearing God in the Bible, and the charismatic commitment to hearing God in the prophetic, with the contemplative understanding of God's "still, small voice" within.

"Pete transcends the Christian tribalism of our day… rooting us in something far more ancient, unchanging, timeless. What the early Christians called the Way. This ancient form of Christianity is the antidote to much of the modern church's pain. The cure for our ills." —John Mark Comer

God is speaking to you!

This book will help you to re-examine the ways in which God is speaking to you. It will help you to develop abilities to listen to God that you may have discounted in the past. It is full of wonderful historical examples of Christ followers and how hearing God in their lives propelled them to change the world!

An Imperative Classic

I put How to Hear God: A Simple Guide for Normal People in the same category as Dallas Willard's Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God. You obviously cannot see my copy of Peter's book but almost every page is underlined or highlighted or both. :) Grieg's laid back style and delivery drew me in. God has spoken to me (rhēma) about learning to hear his whisper through this book and Peter.

The overall simplicity of what he is teaching and how I can use it in my own daily walk.

Mr. Greig is a wonderful speaker and I so enjoyed listening to this as well as How to Pray on audio. These are the first two books I’ve listened to all the way thru as I much prefer a book in hand. He kept my attention and spoke in such an understanding yet profound way. Thank you for your insight, simple way of teaching and for the time you spent to do this.

One of my top favorite Christian reads

I really enjoyed this book. It is one of those life changers, in my opinion. Pretty comprehensive and balanced look at how God talks with us (though I am sure there are always more ways God can choose to talk to us)! It was really what I have been needing at this point in my life and I recommend it to everyone.

2021 Profoundly helpful... (with a 2023 addendum)

...and insightful! If you are aching to learn what you can do to hear God speak into your heart, life and mind, read this book. Forever changed! ❤️🌿

Captivating, exciting and understandable

Pete Grieg gives tangible insight on how to hear God’s voice and walk out what He’s telling us. I’ll be going through this again as it was both insightful and enjoyable.

An Awesome Listen

I love Pete Greig’s voice and so pleased he recorded his book himself. Thank you for baring your soul and inspiring us!

Great Content and Delivery

Pete is such a blessing in this book.
It was encouraging, challenging, and even enjoyable.

My wife and I both read it and said we sensed Gods presence throughout which made it so so uplifting as well.

A definite recommend

Read this book!

I learned so much the first time through that I am starting over to go through it a second time.

An honest look at hearing God

This book was written quite well. The context is beautifully articulated and read by Pete with authenticity. This book should be on the list of every follower of Jesus. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to every word.
