Summary: Peace, be still,and know that I am God.
Review: As a result of many questions of our Pastor, in Weatherford Texas,Does God still speak to us? He prepared a series of sermons entitled "Listening to God", and the numerous ways He speaks. The reference Book he recomended was HIPPO IN THE GARDEN.
I would recomend to anyone searching for a closer walk with the diety of your choosing. listen for God and be blessed.

Summary: God Still Speaks To Us Today
Review: I came to know James Ryle through Promise Keepers. Then I later watched his testimony on "Life Today" w/James Robison. So I already knew about him. While I ws familiar with his preaching, I had no idea that he had written books, too(3 to date). This one was his first. It had been out 10 years by the time I read it this year. I was more curious than anything whe I saw the title. Granted, the title and cover are both what I'd call weird. But the book is anything but weird. In the Bible, the are many examples of how God speaks to people. All too often Christians get the idea that God speaking to people and God speaking to us through other people is outdated or is "Old Testament stuff." In short, that notion is wrong. James Ryle clearly points out that God speaks to people even today. He uses many examples from his own life to illustrate this. I can't say I have a favorite story that he shares from his life because he shares so many in this book. But in sharing his dreams and visions from God, it helped to make his point about about how and why God still speaks to us today. After reading this book, I don't look at God the same or how he speaks to me and those around me. It's caused me to re-examine my walk with the Lord. God bless you, James Ryle!

Summary: Wonderful book for those unsure seekers who long for God.
Review: I read this book when I found a copy in the library of our campus ministry "LifeHouse" here at East Central University in Ada. I was all but blown away by the fact that Ryle, rather than being a dispensationalist (i. e. "Miracles and anything supernatural from God passed away when the apostles died"), not only affirms the fact that God, as the all-powerful Creator, can speak to us any way He wants--but he also presents a hope so wildly powerful it made me temporarily short of breath to think about: GOD _WANTS_ TO SPEAK TO _US!_ That realization ignited a hunger in me that has only intensified as the weeks have passed. To make a long review short--get this book and read it. You won't regret what lies beyond its back cover!
