Praise for How to Hear God
John Mark Comer, Author and founding pastor of Bridgetown Church
"Pete has simply written the best book I have ever read on the most important thing you will ever do: learning how to hear God. Pete calls this book 'a simple guide for normal people.' It is, but 'simple' is not the same thing as simplistic. This book is disarmingly wise, deep, insightful. With his extraordinary grasp of the church down through history and across the globe, Pete transcends the Christian tribalism of our day. He is rooting us in something far more ancient, unchanging, timeless. And hearing God's voice is the key to everything."
Gary D. Chapman, PhD, author of The 5 Love Languages
"God is not silent. However, often we are too busy to hear his voice. How to Hear God is a biblically based, historically illustrated look at the various ways in which God speaks. In reading and reflecting on its message, I have become a better listener. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a more intimate relationship with God."
Glenn Packiam, associate senior pastor of New Life Church and author of The Resilient Pastor
"Everything Pete Greig writes lights a fire in me. This book gripped me and awakened something in me. I found myself praying differently and listening to God differently, with more expectation and the willingness to step out in faith and risk feeling foolish. Pete takes what could be a daunting or confusing subject and disarms our defenses and dismantles our excuses with hilarious stories, down-to-earth examples, and simple practices. Every page will inspire your imagination, inviting you to believe that hearing from God truly is for everyone."
Shane Claiborne, author, activist, and cofounder of Red Letter Christians
"A lot of people say God has told them something, but then you hear what it is, and it sounds more like a message from the devil. Other folks who don’t even believe in God seem to have a word of truth for today. Well, here is a book by someone you can trust. Pete Greig has been a friend for years, and he is one of the wisest people I know when it comes to prayer. This book draws from the well of wisdom that has nourished the faithful for centuries. It is filled with voices of saints who have been not only people of prayer but people who get up off their knees and put feet on those prayers. This incredible book is a call to prayer and a call to action . . . which is exactly what our world needs right now."
Danielle Strickland, speaker, author, and advocate
"Pete never fails to make my soul tremble with the good news of God’s presence and guidance and invitation to pray. This book is sweet and salty—a perfect spiritual snack of deep spiritual truths with real-life wisdom and brevity. It’s made me thirsty for living water, which is exactly the intent. I pray you will get this book, read it, and then get ten more to give to your friends. It will change lives."
Matt Redman, worship leader and songwriter
"I love the subtitle of this book: a simple guide for normal people. That’s what Pete Greig is always good at—taking a deeply profound and mysterious subject like prayer and inviting us into it in such a beautifully ordinary way. His teaching here is a wonderful mix of the everyday and the eternal—and therefore such a powerful and helpful read. So good!"
Dr. Henry Cloud, psychologist and New York Times bestselling author
"Trying to hear God can seem like a mysterious quest, and we can feel a bit lost and discouraged. At those times, we need some help, and Pete has given us some great guidance. Rooted in Scripture and filled with the experiences of many who have gone before us, this book shows that God really does speak to us and gives us some clear paths to hear him when he does."
Agu Irukwu, senior pastor of Jesus House London
"Don’t we all want to hear from God? How much easier our lives would be if we could hear his voice and follow his direction. I love Pete’s writing because it is easy to understand. The simple way he handles difficult subjects in How to Hear God makes this book compelling. If you really want to grow on this journey of hearing God, here is the book that will help you grow immensely."
