Book Reviews of Surprised by the Voice of God
Book Review: Listen More; Talk Less (2 Ears/1Mouth). On-point scholarly must reading
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Deere's wisdom, warm and digestable scholarship and transparency all packaged up in a neat Zondervan book/bundle for a song via Amazon.com; get a copy ASAP and go on a private retreat to get back to 1st century Christian Basics 101: hearing God speak NOW 24/7 as your Coach, Guide, and Mentor. Can't stop reading and rereading this awesome how-to practical guide on escaping "yellowed pages" of Bible theory to reliving the book of Acts in the now. Pastor/professor Deere's been on both sides; former prof at fundamentalist/cessationalist Dallas Seminary; now living/experiencing the supernatural presence and power of An Awesome God who won't be boxed up into private quiet times and 2-3 hours on week-ends.
Deere's greatness is his balance; savvy scholarship emphasizing authority of Scripture but warm application showing you how experience/know God as The Coach who directs his kids in the game of life by a myriad of methods formerly viewed as the exclusive property of 1st Century (book of Acts) Christianity.
Jack gives you all the stuff you need to activate; coupled with hints, tips, warnings, dangers and pitfalls; shows how to be winsome and positive and come off not looking wild, weird, strange, and armed/dangerous to any local church fellowship.
After you get it down pat enough to move on; see also his sequels also available here at Amazon: "Surprised...By the Power of The Spirit," and "The Beginner's Guide To The Gift Of Prophecy."
Jack is pointing the direction and leading the way all Christianity needs to move; back to a balanced supernatural lifestyle of experiencing the power and presence of an infinite God who wants to share His ability, power, and wisdom with people far more that most of us would ever believe possible in the post-modern age of hi-tech secularization and separation of the divine from daily experiences outside the church walls.
Summary of Surprised by the Voice of God
Surprised by the Voice of God takes you to 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. Jack Deere first describes the ways God revealed his thoughts to first-century Christians. Then he tells why God continues to speak to us using the same methods. Finally Deere tells how accurately God speaks 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 Holy Spirit and calls us beyond them to a more intimate relationship with God. Filled with fascinating stories and personal accounts, Surprised by the Voice of God is for all who want to walk in the dynamic scope of Christianity.Christian Living Books
