  <default_description>&lt;strong&gt;A Formatio book. &lt;/strong&gt;&quot;God spoke to me.&quot;&quot;The Spirit spoke to my heart.&quot;&quot;God revealed the idea to me.&quot;Being close to God means communicating with him--telling him what is on our hearts in prayer &lt;EM&gt;and&lt;/EM&gt; hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. It is this second half of our conversation with God that is so important but that can also be so difficult. How do we hear his voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear?The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator. In this updated classic, originally published as &lt;EM&gt;In Search of Guidance,&lt;/EM&gt; the author provides rich spiritual insight into how we can hear God's voice clearly and develop an intimate partnership with him in the work of his kingdom.</default_description>

I have also found it to abound in his beliefs, which he sets against other beliefs (such as mine) or which he doesn’t even seem to realize might not be universal.<br/><br/>For example, on page 152 he quotes Eph. 5:25-27. “…...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18435385">more...</a>]]></body>

Again, as with most books dealing with our spiritual journey with God, it is a book to be read over and over in bits and pieces.  Interestingly, the author is a professor of philosophy.

    <body><![CDATA[This book took time to get into, but it proved to have valuable insight into practical principles for developing a conversational relationship with God - meaning, a two-way sort of communication. I think reading Willard's Divine Conspiracy first would be helpful because that book sets forth Willard'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19979113">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm only 40 pages in but this book is FANTASTIC. Willard's philosophical background is apparent as he builds a logical, reasoned &quot;argument&quot; for a conversational relationship with God. I've never heard it explained so well. Highly recommended... (unless I get to the end and find out that he...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7832705">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Amazing book on such a confusing subject. Willard provides the reader with very practical ways of how to quiet yourself and truly seek after the Lords voice. I look forward to re-reading this someday]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book changed my entire concept of what it means to relate with God, what He wants from us.  Willard manages to cover both the theoretical/abstract framework as well as the gritty practical aspects of prayer.  I've now read the book three times.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is probably the 4th DW book that I've read and the least revolutionary in terms of how it has rocked my faith.  That being said, it's still a wonderful book and worth reading for a reminder of the importance of prayer.  ]]></body>
