For years, my prayers were a list of requests and a check mark. Then I heard God speak to me, and I’ve never prayed the same way since. This book walks you through twenty-six days of asking God questions and learning to listen for his answers, with your Bible and a journal open.

On Amazon, and on Audible.

The book

Twenty-six days of learning to listen.

Each day has a short reading, verses to pray through, and questions to ask God, then room to write down what you hear.

  1. Hear him when it matters

    You’ll learn to get guidance from the Lord when you’re making important decisions.

  2. Recognize the ways he speaks

    God speaks through Scripture, impressions, other people, and circumstances. You’ll learn to pick up each one.

  3. Get past your doubts

    You’ll finally overcome the doubts and fears that keep you from listening at all.

  4. Test what you hear

    You’ll learn to test what you’re hearing and see whether it’s really from God.
