What our readers are saying
“ “The birthright of all believers is to know the voice of their Creator. And yet, confusion abounds over ‘how’ God speaks and what we can expect. John Colton examines the scriptural evidence, and along with practical, real-life examples, helps us to understand the diverse ways God’s voice is heard and the guidance it brings. This fascinating book is both educational and insightful. My prayer is that it will activate the reader into new dimensions of hearing the Shepherd’s voice. I highly recommend it!” ”

The invitation is ours to receive personally, but it is also ours to extend to others. Basically, David is saying, ‘Try it; you’ll like it.’ David is inviting us to experience what he has discovered: the goodness of God’s salvation.…….
