Listening to God requires faith. Faith that God exists and that He is speaking to each and every one of us. Mr. Stanley lays this out with simple, easy to understand explanations. He breaks the book down into chapters that are relevant and address the realm of listening to God as He speaks to us. This is quite a good book, and the only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is the use of personal examples that (perhaps unintentionally) paint Mr. Stanley as a superman. Disregarding that though, this is a fine book.
