“For 45 years, I have been a pioneer missionary in Asia, and particularly in China.
I’ve been blessed to witness an enormous outpouring of God’s saving grace throughout the land:
Millions and millions are getting saved…

But then, what’s to follow up these new babies in Christ?

That’s why I am most excited to read John Colton’s manuscript of “Establishing Our Christian Faith”.
It’s simple. It’s relevant. And I know it’s useful.”

“Congrats John - I really enjoyed your new book - very balanced approach to some difficult subjects.”

“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!”

“Our relationship with the Lord, like any good relationship, is dictated by our ability to communicate. Speaking to Him through prayer appears fairly straightforward but the reverse of hearing His voice doesn’t seem so straight forward and can lead to the comment “the heavens seem as brass”. With two ears, two eyes and only one mouth God has created us to spend more time listening and looking than talking. Capturing what he is saying only comes through nurturing our relationship with Him. John Colton has done a great job in describing many of the ways our Heavenly Father communicates to us and helps us realise how often he is doing it and gives us tools to develop those ways.

John has a flowing style of writing that moves logically through the many ways God connects with us. It is well researched and draws from his own and others experiences in discerning the voice of the Lord with many good practical examples of the application of what John teaches about. The book contains simplicity and depth to satisfy all types of readers.

I thought I was a good listener but this book showed me I need to be listening from more avenues than I do now. As a 50 year Christian I would recommend this book for any believer.
