About the Book:
The best-selling author of Circle Maker, which helped over 2 million people learn to talk to God, now helps readers learn how to listen to God.
The voice that spoke the cosmos into existence is the same voice that parted the Red sea, and made the sun stand still in the midday sky. One day, this voice will make all things new, but it’s also speaking to you now!
That voice is God’s voice, and what we’ve learned from Scripture is that He often speaks in a whisper. Not to make it difficult to hear Him, but to draw us close.
Many people have a tough time believing God still speaks. Sure, in ancient times and in mysterious ways, God spoke to His people, but is He still speaking now?
Mark Batterson certainly believes so. And he wants to introduce you to the seven love languages of God; each of them unique and entirely divine. Some of them you might suspect but others will surprise you.
By learning to tune in to and decipher each language, you’ll be able to hear His guidance in simple as well as life-altering choices. God is actively speaking through: Scripture, Desires, Doors, Dreams, People, Promptings, and Pain. Batterson gives you the tools you need to unlock each of these languages.
God’s whisper can answer your most burning questions, calm your deepest fears, and fulfill your loftiest dreams.
Discover how simple it is to hear God’s voice in every aspect of your life!
He’s speaking, make sure you know how to listen!

My Thoughts:
Out of over a dozen books, I've read three of Mark Batterson's. I have two more on my tbr shelf, and my husband has almost every book written by Batterson.
So when I was invited to read and review "Whisper" I was excited. I expected to enjoy the book, and to learn a thing or two.
I did not expect to feel convicted, inspired, or changed. I also didn't expect to highlight close to every other line in each chapter. Or to fall in love with God's Word because of the chapter "The Key of Keys".
Batterson devotes a good amount of reading and research to his writing. That's evident by the number of footnotes in each chapter (and I love me some footnotes! This knowledge nerd was in reference heaven!)
All of that is impressive. But I can see Batterson's heart on every page. I can sense his passion in every careful choice of words. And I can feel his love for God and for the church in every chapter.
You may not agree with everything Batterson has to say. Come to his book as a blank page, and then do what the Bereans did. You'll come away with deeper insight, richer understanding, and a burning passion for God's Word.
I hope to read more of Mark Batterson's books. Right now, I'm busy rereading my favorite chapters in "Whisper", and learning afresh how to hear the voice of my Father.
My thanks to Multnomah Press for a copy of "Whisper", with no services promised in return. I'm giving this book my "For such a time" stamp of approval.
Until the next page turns,
Deena
