Publisher's summary

Do you long for depth and authenticity in your relationship with God? Do you want purpose and daily direction but can't seem to find the right prayer to receive it? When the Soul Listens will guide you away from formulas and step-by-step prayer plans toward contemplative prayer, "the lifestyle that allows you to experience God's presence", writes author Jan Johnson. Learn to find rest and guidance in God, opening yourself to God's presence and direction through this practical approach.

If you are disillusioned, experiencing spiritual dryness, or simply looking for the next step in your spiritual growth, When the Soul Listens offers a clear path to a fulfilling connection with God.

A spectacular read

This work does a tremendous amount to move listeners into the real spirit of authentic prayer with some of the most profound collection of insights into the contemplative lifestyle that I ever came across. Johnson’s writing style is exceptionally fluid, heart felt, and full of extraordinary insight. One would do well to read and absorb this work multiple times.

Thanks for putting this on audible!!!

Really enjoyed and challenging me as I draw closer to God. I have no complaints about the material. The person who read to us was good but I confess I was looking forward to hearing Jan read to us. She has such a soothing and Penetrating voice. I will be listening to this again.

A Beautiful Unfolding of the Contemplative Prayer Life with God

Jan Johnson does an excellent presentation of sharing how the contemplative prayer life is achievable and desirable for the follower of Christ. As it becomes a new way of life the heart is changed and the way we see others is through the eyes of God. Transformative and growing in love, joy and peace which the world so desperately needs.
