"In Hearing God In Conversation, Samuel Williamson affirms the church's long-held position that God’s primary means of speaking to us is through Scripture; at the same time, through a blend of Bible teaching, contemporary and classic Christian authors, and personal experience, he shows us that God is in no way limited in terms of what he can use to prompt us, nudge us, and lead us. Written in a casual, sometimes lighthearted style, Hearing God In Conversation propels us to a place of expectancy with respect to God's voice; to look for God's personal message to us in a variety of circumstances; and to be aware that God has a vast array of means he uses to guide his children." -- Paul Wilkinson, former writer for Christianity Todays Leadership Journal
“A key longing in every human heart is to connect with God, to actually hear his voice. Sam Williamson has written a remarkable book that teaches both how to hear God's voice in Scripture, and then to hear his voice in every avenue of life. It’s filled with humor, insight, practical tips, and sound theology. I can't recommend a better guide than Hearing God in Conversation.” -- Gary Wilkerson, pastor, president of World Challenge
"If you want to grow in your ability to recognize how God makes himself known to you, I can't recommend a better guide than Samuel Williamson's Hearing God in Conversation. This is not the advice of an expert who has it all figured out, but the humility of a brother still on the journey who recognizes that at best we see in bits and pieces. But that is enough to mark out an amazing adventure with God. You will find the stories from his own life engaging, insightful, and helpful." -- Wayne Jacobsen, pastor, author of He Loves Me
"Hearing God. Is it real? Is it normal? Is it weird? Sam grew up in a Christian family where listening to God was as normal and frequent as conversing with family members around the dinner table. It was simply what a relationship with God looked like for everyone, everyplace, all the time. Sam has done a brilliant job explaining, through Scripture, stories, and personal experiences, how God speaks and how to hear him." -- Gary Barkalow, author, founder of The Noble Heart
"This book is a rare gem full of spiritual wisdom, practical insight, and personal examples of how God converses with us in our daily lives. I was captivated from the first to the last page. Sam Williamson is a great natural storyteller, a sound biblical narrator and armchair theologian, and a wise counsellor with spiritual depth and insight. "He is also an excellent writer--easy to read and joyful to follow. Reading his book is like carrying on an enlightening conversation with an experienced and faith-filled friend while sitting in an easy chair enjoying one another’s company. You can’t savor enough and you want to come back for more and more. "The book is balanced in dealing with potential pitfalls and aberrations. It treats the need for discernment, how to distinguish God’s voice from other voices, how filters and biases can shape and block our ability to hear God’s voice, and the role of community in helping us discern and confirm God's word for us." -- Don Schwager, author of DailyScripture.net
"‘God is always speaking to us, and he wants us to hear him.' In Hearing God in Conversation Sam Williamson gives us some tools to do just that. He does a masterful job in leading us to this end with honesty, insight, and great advice. He writes about deep things with clarity and a disarming humor, helping the reader to explore new territory in hearing God's voice." -- David Mangan, author of God Loves You and Theres Nothing You Can Do About It
