Review: Be careful with this book. It is very deceptive. Although it speaks about God and Jesus, it is in fact an occult book which was written using the method of "channelling". Don't be deceived!
Here follows a quote from a critique of this book by Edmond C. Gruss: 'Christian Retailing's list of "Christian" best-selling books in April 1988 included in the top five a book enti­tled God Calling. Its prominence on the list testifies to the lack of spiritual discernment in contemporary evangelical Christianity, for God Calling was written by the occult prac­tice of automatic writing. John Weldon, author and Christian expert on the occult, remarked: "God Calling is spiritistic literature; a demon makes the ranks of evangelical best­sellers!" '

Review: I have read God Calling several times over the years. Though very simple, it is one of the best daily devotional books I have read. God speaks to my heart though the words of Two Listeners. This book is excellent to have on hand, to pick up during a quiet moment--even if it is in your car at a stop light!

Summary: I've turned to this book for 22 years and I love it!
Review: I PURCHASED "GOD CALLING " OVER TEN YEARS AGO AND IT IS NOW LITERALLY COMING APART AT THE SEAMS. I SAW THAT IT IS NOW AVAILABLE IN A HARDCOVER EDITION AND DECEIDED IT WAS TIME FOR A NEW ONE I COULD GET INTO. IT IS A FABULOUS LITTLE DEVOTIONAL FULL OF SIMPLE YET OFTEN OVERLOOKED TRUTHS. THIS BOOK HAS HELPED ME TO KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE AND REMEMBER WHO I AM IN RELATION TO MY GOD.

Summary: Lifeline to God
Review: I too have been reading this for about 20 years and it's been a lifesaver for me. I've purchased and given so many away that I really couldn't say how many over the years.
Before this book, I had so many pre-conceived ideas about who Jesus was by all the things I had learned as a child. This book has allowed me to know Him in such an intimate way. I was so wrong about EVERYTHING! Matter of fact, I've discovered that most of the things I learned about him were 'exactly' the opposite of who He really is. Every day I learn something new about Him or myself or others I'm dealing with, by reading that days message. Even though I've been through the book so many times, I find I understand things I didn't in the years before. I attribute that to spiritual grown and understanding.It doesn't get old. You just find out more and more about who you are and who He is. To me that is the key to life.
I've taught those who have received this from me not to look ahead because it could discourage you thinking 'Next Tuesday looks scary as He's talking about the hardship you are going through.' Yikes!!
I've discovered from this book that when you listen to the birds song, it actually imprints Joy on your soul. A bank if you will to be used during times of sorrow or heartache. What a gift huh? I learned that when you look at a flower, it's beauty is imprinted on your soul and comes back into the world as a smile or a cheer for others. What a guy to think of all these ways to concur evil.
I recomend this book to all who question the reality of God or His Son. See if you can find all of the times He says "FEAR NOT" in this book. It's amazing that it's probably the most used word He spoke and yet we that proclaim to have Faith, never heard it or don't believe it.
This book has been the lifeline to overcoming hardships, finding Hope when I thought all Hope was lost, hanging on in His Strength when I couldn't hang on another minute, but most of all, this book has introduced me to the guy I've always been looking for. A very human Jesus.

Summary: I've used this book for 22 years, and I love it!
Review: In 1982, my freshman college roommate saw that I was going through a rough time, and bought a copy of "God Calling" for me (I had been reading hers). I have turned to this devotional book constantly for more than 22 years! I have given copies to my sister and to my mother, when they were facing difficulties in their lives. Whenever the need to hear God's voice arises, I say a prayer and open this book. I often feel that God is talking directly to me through the words that I find in "God Calling". The encouragement and assurance offered in this book has carried me through many ups and downs. I will continue to share "God Calling" with anyone whom I feel is in a "place" in their lives to accept God into their hearts. If you wish to hear God's voice, you will find it within this book.
