Book Review - Let God Talk To You

I received this book from Bethany House publishers in order to read and review it. In this book the author, Becky Tirabassi outlines varied ways God talks to His people. Most Christians, at one time or another, have been in a place where they felt they couldn't hear God talking to them. This book focuses on ways that God communicates with His people, such as through the Bible, prayer, and through other people.

There's nothing surprising or new for most Christians in this book. It doesn't offer some amazing new revelation on how God will talk with you. It focuses on what most of us already know - that if we want to hear from God, we must spend time listening to and for Him by daily Bible reading, prayer time and seeking input from fellow Christians. However, although the information isn't surprising or new, it is something most of us need to be reminded of. God doesn't make a relationship with Him complicated or something that must be achieved through a difficult process. It happens simply by seeking His presence.

This book offers solid, Bible-based information on a subject of great importance. It is well-written and includes many personal anecdotes from the author. Of course the only book you really need to communicate with God is the Bible, but this book will help to focus your attention on communicating with God and make you think about how important your relationship with God is versus how much time you put into that relationship.
