This book reminds me that I must listen for the voice of God. I enjoy Lysa Terkeurst style of writing. This book is is easy to read but addresses a serious and important topic.

Love reading and learning about Jesus with Lysa. She always has a way of making it relatable and just what I need to hear. Her knowledge of bible truths is inspiring.

Is God Speaking To Me was a good reminder that God does speak, but we need to be open to listen to Him and above all, obey! Discerning God’s voice is not always easy for me and this was encouraging and helpful to read. I also really liked how she included key verses on the topic so you can directly see what the Bible says. This booklet was well-written and a short, easy read. Now I’m interested in reading the full book!

*I received a copy from NetGalley and I voluntarily reviewed this book. This is my honest opinion.

Lysa TerKeurst again speaks plainly and truthfully about a topuc so many of us ask ourselves so often. It is easy to question and discount so mant things in out lives and TerKeurst gives some specific and meaningful ways to sort through our doubts. I enjoy that in this little book, as in all her books I have read thus far, I don't feel preached at. I feel like a wise friend who wants to share what she has learned.

This short book contains three chapters from Lysa TerKeurst's book "What Happens When Women Say Yes To God." It looks at why we should say yes to God's call and some of the blessings that brings as well as some helpful tips on how we can discern whether it is really God is calling us to do something.
I enjoyed the personal stories shared and found them encouraging and inspiring, and the list of questions to ask in order to discern God's voice is really helpful too.
Each chapter contains Bible verses and questions for further reflection. This book is helpful in itself, but from looking at descriptions and reviews of the full book (which I haven't read) online, I'd be inclined to suggest reading that instead if you're able as I'm sure it will provide even more helpful insights.

I enjoyed this equally as much as all of Lysa’s previous books I’ve read. Looking forward to completing the whole study and great exercises when this book is released. Thank you Net Galley for an advanced copy!

Picked this book up and immediately read up until more than halfway through before I continued on. I love the initial story to begin the book of giving away the bible! There are response and reflection questions that was such a helpful guide. This book is encouraging to build other women in their faith and to help them realize they have power given to them by the holy spirit to be guided by God.

If you like short and encouraging, this book is for you! Lysa TerKeurst shares some of her journey as she has wrestled with the title question, Is God speaking to me? This is the TL;DR version of her “What Happens When Women Say Yes To God” book. I have yet to read it so this felt like fresh information in a nice little package!

This book is centered more on her experiences than sharing from the Bible. I enjoyed it and found it to be of great encouragement. I am thankful that I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lysa TerKeurst is one of my favourite authors, speakers and Christian leaders. Although this piece of writing is shorter than other novels she has written, Lysa's booklet-style format is easy to follow for both the new and seasoned believer.

Bolded headings are utilized throughout to provide an organized structure and a framework for answering questions, sharing stories, giving practical 'how to's' alongside scriptural evidence. Lysa's work is always biblically sound and leaves you feeling full of faith.

I would recommend this booklet for anyone looking to answer the question Is God Speaking to Me. As a teacher in a Junior High Christian School this book would be included on my bookshelf for students who seek a deeper relationship with God, or for a morning devotional.

Thank you Lysa for another beautiful, practical book, that encourages a deeper call to faith.

This book is some chapters of one of her previous books What Happens When a Woman Says Yes to God which I have read before. It was a nice review and if you're considering reading the entire thing I'd just purchase the other book since it covers everything. But if you're looking for something light to read this is a good idea.

I will always love anything Lysa writes! She is so honest and knows how to reach people!! The way she writes always keeps my attention and it always seems to be relevant to what is happening in my life.

An encouraging short book filled with stories on trusting God's nudges in our lives, and how He can use those moments to make a difference through us. It is my first time reading a book by Lysa TerKeurst and did not realize that this book was directed for women. However, I found this book to be an enjoyable read and at the same time a great challenge to trust the momentum that God has for us. I can relate with the author where God nudges us to do things but our insecurities get the best of us. This book shows what can happen when we become courageous in those moments. I finished the book in about 40 minutes but took even more time reflecting on each chapter. Each chapter also has a portion of "living it out" questions and challenges that keeps the reader engaged. Overall it was a great short and powerful read that I would recommend.

I usually love Lysa Terkeurst's books. With that said, this is a booklet, not a book. It takes a half hour to read. For what it is, it's fine. For such a short work, I personally would have preferred a much more focused selection of materials. This selection of writings felt pulled together from much longer works without a lot of context.

The introductory does clearly say that one of the purposes of the booklet is to persuade you to buy and read another of Terkeurst's books, but this came across as way too much of a promotional material for my tastes.

This short book only contains a brief list of how to discern whether what you are hearing is from God. Most of this book is why you should say yes to God and what happens when you do.

This booklet is a gift from Lysa on how to listen to God's voice and when to know if you're being called to act.

This story spoke to my soul. I found some of the questions in this similar to ones I have asked myself previously. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with questions about my my faith and existence.

I have been looking for ways and methods to reconnect with God. Nothing compares to reading the testimony of others and following up with scripture. I've found myself asking this question "is God speaking to me?" before. This book is great, in my opinion, for motivation and inspiration during this spiritual journey. The world definitely needs more books like this. Well done!

This small publication is immensely readable and easy to digest, which is good because what it covers are important issies that should be understood more fully. Christans know that we *should* follow where God leads us but in this crazy loud word, how do we know where that is, and if its really Him? The pointers and guidance in this pamphlet give an excellent guide as to how to follow Him more fully.

First sentence: Hi friend, Have you ever wondered if God still speaks to us today? Or even more so…whether what you’re hearing is really God speaking to you, or just your own thoughts? I understand. I’ve wrestled through these very same questions. But what I’ve discovered through my own study of Scripture is that God absolutely does still speak to us through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16), through His son, Jesus (Hebrews 1:1-2), and through the Holy Spirit that lives in us as believers (John 14:16-17, 1 Corinthians 3:16). Yes, the Lord is speaking to us and inviting us into a more satisfying relationship with Him than we’ve ever known before. And our job is to respond in obedience. But you don’t have to learn how to do this alone!

The question isn't a negligible one. It is a question with some significance. Will readers agree with Terkeurst's conclusions? Perhaps. Perhaps not. (I know Justin Peters would not.) Essentially this is what she says:

Though I hear from God all the time, I’ve never heard His voice audibly. When God speaks to me, it is a certain impression on my heart that I’ve come to recognize as Him.
I’ve also learned to ask five key questions to help me determine if what I’m hearing is from God or not: 1. Does what I’m hearing line up with Scripture? 2. Is it consistent with God’s character? 3. Is it being confirmed through messages I’m hearing at church or studying in my quiet time? 4. Is it beyond me? 5. Would it please God? Asking these questions helps me tell the difference between my thoughts and God’s impressions. Let’s look at each of these to unpack what they mean a little bit further.
This is a tiny little book! I consider that a plus. It is actually an excerpt from another of her (previously published) books. If you wanted to be introduced to this author--this tiny book might give you an idea of if you'd be a good match.

I shared my thoughts on the subject as a reaction post to a Justin Peters' sermon I listened to in February this year. But essentially, here is where I stand on the subject:

1) I believe in the Sufficiency of Scripture.
2) I believe that God is not speaking to us in the same way as He spoke to the authors of Scripture. That the way God spoke to and through believers then--and by believers I mean the human authors of the 66 books of the Bible--Old and New Testament--is not normative; that we should not expect the same revelation. I don't believe in continuous revelation, new revelation. God is not going to be adding more books to the Bible.
3) I believe in the authority of Scripture. I believe the Scripture should judge us and NOT that we should judge Scripture.
4) I believe in God's Sovereignty.
5) I believe in God's Providence.
6) I believe that all believers are filled with the Holy Spirit and joined to Christ.
7) I believe that the Spirit living in us helps us spiritually see and understand the Spirit-given text in front of us. We are indwelled with the Author of the Book. I believe that the Bible takes SPIRITUAL sight to understand, to interpret, to apply.
8) I believe that we are called to store up God's Word in our hearts and minds. That we are to meditate on it, "chew the cud," to memorize it, to really let the Word saturate our hearts, minds, lives. We are to be people of the Book. We are to know the book. The Bible is our meat and drink--it is nourishment for our very souls. By it--and through it--our minds are renewed and lives are transformed. Scripture should interpret Scripture. The Scripture teaches us how to interpret it, how to make sense of it.
9) It would be impossible for the Spirit to speak contrary to the Revealed Word of God. The Holy Spirit will never tell you something that is contrary to what the Bible says. It will never disagree with Scripture. It will never be in opposition to Scripture. If you've got the Word of God in front of you and Spirit inside of you disagreeing--then it is not the Holy Spirit at work. The Spirit will never green-light sin in a believer's life, it will never make excuses or justification for why you can keep on disobeying God's Word. It won't happen. It's a false spirit, a lying spirit, a spirit perhaps masquerading as an angel of light, but it's a deception.
10) Discernment, discernment, discernment. Always. Everywhere. Never slack. Never surrender.

I can only speak from my experiences, but when I say--or when I think--of using the phrase, "God spoke to me," or the "Spirit revealed to me" what I really mean is the Spirit brought to my mind a specific text of Scripture, that a truth within Scripture is being illuminated by the Spirit, I am having a spiritual "aha" moment, a light bulb has lit up, a truth that has always been truth has been realized. I am not having a "new" or "special" revelation. I am just having my eyes opened to the Word of God--which is one of the things that the Spirit does in the life of the believer. It is perhaps lazy to think of it as "the voice of God speaking to me." But I would imagine that most believers have been guilty of using this phrase innocently enough.

I think it is also possible that what we think of as God speaking to us falls more into these categories a) God providentially working things out in our lives b) God answering our prayers. For example, when God is "putting someone into your mind" that you need to pray for that person--maybe God is using you as an answer to someone else's prayer. Maybe it is part of God's providential plan for you to speak encouragement, to build up, to give comfort to another. Or another example, a guest speaker might come into a church saying, the Spirit wanted me to preach from this text. This could very well be an answer to prayer. They've prayed for discernment and "help" on knowing what to teach/preach. They have prayed for the Spirit to work through them and their message.

I would hope that most people would recognize that the Spirit speaks to us in the words of the Word. The Spirit is teaching us--as we read the Word; the Spirit is guiding us and interpreting for us as we read, study, and meditate. The Spirit is illuminating the Word so we know how to apply it. The Word is indeed Sufficient. But the Spirit's work is ongoing. Not in giving NEW revelation, but in opening our eyes, opening and renewing our minds, working in the heart, working and transforming our lives.

Lysa TerKeurst writing style brings to life what living a life that is obedient to God looks like. Her use of story telling mixed with life application scripture challenges and encourages the reader to learn to listen to God. Her description of radical obedience seems attainable in a very busy and distracting world. I love how the book is written in such a way that the author asks the reader to pause and write scripture down and meditate on what that would look like in the persons’ life.
