He speaks softly: Learning to hear God`s voice Hardcover 1985 by Bob Benson

We've all heard the messages: "God has a plan for your life" this ministry" "God is calling you into words, sae your calling and election sure But when one has to choose a career that is both meaningful and useful, or decide which ministry to support financially, or distinguish between a "call" and one's own desires, how does one discern the voice of God? After nearly twenty years in the business world, Bob Benson heard that call—loudly and clearly. It was a desire to surrender his life more completely to the Lord's leading that led him into his present speaking and writing ministry. So He Speaks Softly is, in some ways, a report of his own pilgrimage along the path of God's calling for him. In often humorous, and always insightful, ways he describes how to recognize and respond to the calling of God. With warmth and disarming frankness, he describes... • God's general call through Christ to all hear God's call amid the hubbub of life • The patience of God as we grow toward being better able to hear His calling • How God's call comes through who we are —our heritage and our gifts • The radical responsibility that accompanies God's call. Quoting widely from his favorite authors (both biblical and modern), Benson opens new vistas on the Christian life for those who desire a deeper, more meaningful walk with their Lord. An inspiring call to Christian excellence! This Guideposts edition is published by special arrangement with Word, Inc. HE SPEAKS SOFTLY: LEARNING TO HEAR GOD'S
