TALKING TO GOD IS EASY. IT'S THE LISTENING THAT'S THE HARD PART. Although most of us can talk with ease to our best friend, many of us aren't so good at keeping quiet and hearing what our friend has to say. So it is with God. For true communication with Him, we must learn to listen through understanding His Word. Dr. Charles Stanley's Listening to God, part of the Life Principles Study Series, presents a sound way to explore the Word and hear God's truths. You'll learn to identify with the passages, recognize your emotional response, reflect on the passages' meaning and take steps to apply what you've learned.
