The Power of a Whisper by Bill Hybels

I just finished The Power of a Whisper by Bill Hybels. It is a book of both testimony and stepping out in faith by following the whispers of God. On the cover of the book I have it says "Hearing God, Having the Guts to Respond", thus laying out the idea of challenge in the life of those who would read the book.

What I see in the book is the process of a growing relationship with the Lord by acts of responding in obedience to the whispers of God, often called promptings but none the less hearing the voice of God in one way or another. God speaks so the question is: Are we listening? How we respond determines our testimony or lack of one.

The book presents the fact that God wants to guide us through every area of our life. We must build our relationship and trust in God as we walk with Him day in and day out. There are examples throughout the book for us to gain insight from showing us the blessing that comes from obeying the voice of God.

Revelation 12:11(KJV)
11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The book is about dying to self and living unto the Lord becoming a source of encouragement to others as they see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Both informative and instructional this book brings a challenge to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and Saviour with helpful insights for daily life.

I would recommend the book to both those more mature in their faith for encouragement and to those that are seeking answers as to how to be led of the Spirit as sons/daughters of God for instruction.
