About this listen
Read by the author.
Not only does God still speak to us apart from the Scriptures—we should expect Him to.
This is the story of how Jack Deere learned to hear the voice of God in his life and how you can too.
Now a modern classic, Jack wrote Surprised by the Voice of God over twenty-five years ago. Based on that first book, Why I Am Still Surprised by the Voice of God has been entirely rewritten and includes additional thoughts and insights from a lifetime of hearing God speak.
Deere will guide you through the Bible to discover the variety of creative, deeply personal ways God still communicates with us today. You'll learn:
- How God speaks with people apart from the Bible, though never in contradiction to it.
- The ways God revealed his thoughts to the men and women of the Bible.
- Why God continues to speak to us today using the same methods.
Deere provides counsel and guidance for knowing how to accurately hear God speak through prophecies, dreams, visions, and other forms of divine communication. With candor, sensitivity, and a profound understanding of Scripture, Deere identifies our hindrances to hearing the voice of God and calls us to a more intimate relationship with God.
Filled with fascinating stories and intimate personal accounts, Why I Am Still Surprised by the Voice of God is for all who want to walk in friendship with God
Appendix 4: The Ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Book of Acts is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Bible is a piercing drama, a tale of prophets and wandering spirits, heroic mothers and flashing swords, cosmic mountains, and a dry, shadowy Sheol. It is a true story that defines the nature and purpose of reality, and its claims are astonishing. But few modern listeners experience the Bible that way. In this groundbreaking audiobook, celebrated storyteller Blaine Eldredge draws upon years of research to illuminate the story of the Bible through the lives of six kingly characters.

Story
Many seek reassurance or perceived unity by creating doctrinal statements, but that misses the point. Doctrine is necessary, but it is not the solution. In his new book Until Unity, New York Times best-selling author Francis Chan tells listeners that the real problem is shallow or even nonexistent love for each other. Although the Bible commands unity, some will resist these unifying efforts. We see it every day. We have to hate sin, love truth, and pursue unity for the church.

Story
Every Christian has been sent and empowered by Jesus to heal the sick. The problem is that many of us don't know how to practically complete this task. We either think that miraculous healing has passed away, that the healing ministry is only available to special leaders, or that God simply picks and chooses who he decides to heal. In Power to Heal, international evangelist, teacher, and apostolic voice, Randy Clark, gives you eight practical, Bible-based tools that will help you start praying for the sick...and see them supernaturally healed!

Author and Pastor Sam Storms has spent several decades teaching on the topic of the spiritual gifts and equipping believers in the faithful practice of God's gifts. Yet there remains a great deal of confusion about the nature of the gifts and how they best function in the body of Christ. In these audio lectures on the spiritual gifts, Storms addresses the many bizarre and misleading interpretations that abound and confronts the tendency to downplay the urgency of spiritual gifts for Christian living and ministry.

Well researched and convincing evidence.
Well researched and convincing evidence, both scripturally from the author’s rigorous scholarship, as well as from his painful personal experiences- yet retains a very positive tone trusting in the goodness of God and the victory of Christ through the cross. I will purchase several as gifts for the readers I know!

Incredible Book
I rarely make it all the way to the end of a book, but when this one finished I wished there were more. So encouraging, so many biblical and life examples demonstrating how God has always intended for believers to hear His voice, ways that God speaks, and how to avoid deception. The audio has the author doing the voiceover, though there were a handful of small errors that never got taken out in the final audio edit. Though I still appreciate hearing the author read his book.

Good material but —-
It is hard to rate this audiobook as it is hard to listen to.
The subject matter rates as interesting to fascinating. Dr Deere’s reading is good. However, the constant insertion of references and page numbers is extremely distracting making it hard, for me anyway, to focus on the narrative.
