The Power of a Whisper By Bill Hybels You know when it happens but you are frequently unsure from whence it came.We sometimes identify it as the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit.At other times we chalk it off to bad pizza the night before. How do you know the difference? Pastor Bill Hybels does a masterful job in navigating the reader through understanding how God’s voice can still be heard.From the early part of the Bible we learn that a little boy named Samuel was able to hear God speak.Today many of us have experienced God speaking to us.We do all we can to teach and encourage others to listen to God’s voice, his promptings, his whispers in their lives. Hybels provides five filters or screens he uses to determine if the prompting he is sensing is, in fact, from God.These filters help block those senses that might be man-made in nature or those that just seem right but may not be directed of the Lord.This book is worth it just to learn of the five filters. I was impressed with the expression of time alone with God, time in His word and the measuring of promptings through the counsel of deeply trusted godly friends and mentors.Sometimes the heart is full of God. Sometimes it is in the midst of the dark night of the soul. The Power of a Whisper speaks to both. Any believer who desires to seek after the voice of God in their own life will find The Power of a Whisper to be one of the clearest writings on hearing and discerning His voice.
