What did you like about the book?

Mark Batterson is a pastor of a local church in Washington D.C.  He is very intellectual and has personally read thousands of books.  This shows in his writing.  On every page he has interesting facts to back up what he is saying.  Also, he has a strong heart for the Lord.  

I loved that there is nothing boring about this book.  It is fresh.

What did you not like about this book?

At times there are too many interesting facts that make me lose focus on the main topic.... but it's a small distraction for me compared to the wealth he is bringing.

I felt as though I needed to read the book twice to really take it all in.

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

everyone.....especially those who want to learn to hear God's voice more.

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, but there are some things you should know...

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...

Psalm 29
