Learning to Hear the Whispers of God


Book Description

God desires to speak to us for fellowship, with the ultimate goal of relationship. Usually God uses a quiet touch to communicate. This quiet touch is what Donna Fitzpatrick refers to as the whispers of God. These whispers give wisdom, direction, and reveal the things God wants to change in our hearts. Yet, if we're waiting for a loudspeaker from heaven we'll miss His quiet touch. Through a combination of Scripture and true-life whisper stories, Learning to Hear the Whispers of God encourages that God will speak to every believer. As a mother of eight, Donna writes from a wealth of stories. Believers from all walks and stages in life find themselves captivated and warmed by her down-to-earth manner and easy writing style that tugs at the heart and challenges our faith. Sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, these stories demonstrate the various ways God may choose to speak. Be encouraged to recognize God's voice through these stories, and then experience the thrill of hearing the Lord whisper as He captures teaching moments through everyday experiences. Thought-provoking questions and scriptural answers contained in this book make it perfect for personal use or as a group Bible study.

God Whispers


Book Description

The vast majority of Americans pray, but how many recognize how God speaks back? In the bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook the quiet nudges, the subtle answers and the little ways in which the Creator responds. God Whispers isn't as much about how to pray as it is about how to listen.




Sometimes He Whispers Sometimes He Roars


Book Description

This practical, personal prayer guide contains stories, teachings, and tips to help jumpstart the prayer journey of readers, whether they are new to prayer or lifelong prayer veterans. The author’s prayers took her halfway around the world to work with the destitute and poor in African countries as she became the answer to someone else’s prayers. Most books on prayer describe answers to the author’s personal prayers. This book not only does that but also shows how the author became the answer to other people’s prayers. Marilynn tells her story of how as an ordinary mom, she has moved from her own neighborhood to the inner city to genocide-torn Africa. She also tells of meeting two African presidents and becoming deeply involved with the poor in Sudan. But much more than her personal story, this book offers a multitude of practical helps for readers to jumpstart their own prayer journey with step-by-step instructions, training, and tips. Inspirational principles—such as “Double for Your Trouble,” which teaches that those who suffer pain and trouble are often doubly blessed by God—ground readers and equip them for prayer. And inspirational stories—such as “Pennies from Heaven,” which tells how the author found pennies everywhere only to discover that God was trying to tell her something—motivate readers to move forward in their own prayer journey. Finally, a twenty-page, eight-week Leaders Study Guide is included at the end of the book for those who want to share and teach this book’s methods to others.

Whispers from God


Book Description

ONE WHISPER FROM THE LORD CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING... Thirteen years ago, Jesus asked me, "Are you willing to give up everything to follow Me?" After years of hesitation, I finally answered yes. It wasn't the moment I gave my life to Christ for salvation, but it was the moment I gave my life in sacrifice. Whispers from God are the stories of what began happening to me the moment, I believe, the Lord knew I was serious about saying yes. The kind of serious that means living life on my knees at the foot of the cross. One thing I have learned on this journey is that truly following Jesus isn't for the faint of heart. But it is for those who long to give all of their heart and it is absolutely worth it. From the uncomfortable to the unexpected, these are some of the stories throughout my life, of times the Lord whispered to me...stories of learning and understanding how to function in the prophetic and what it means to continually seek His face, sit in His presence, hear His voice and act on it. My instructions from the Lord have been to "go light your world" and these are some of the ways I believe He's asked me to do it. My prayer is that He speaks to your heart through the stories that have deeply impacted my life and they begin for you, a journey of seeking the Lord--listening earnestly for the quiet whispers of His voice. He's waiting...are you listening? And so, here is my heart... 1
