Chapter Three: Hearing God’s Voice
Summary
God is speaking all the time, but we are often too preoccupied to notice. God doesn't shout to get our attention, but typically speaks softly and quietly. God's voice invariably comes to us as a call, luring us deeper into life and deeper into the love God feels for the whole world. God can speak through nature and human experience, but the clearest way God has ever spoken to the world is through a person: Jesus of Nazareth, who Christians believe was both fully human and fully divine. A very important way we hear God's voice today is through prayer, but sometimes God can seem silent even when we are trying to listen. That silence reminds us to uphold others when God seems silent to them.
