 Review 
STARRED REVIEW 'The close-knit family focuses here on lessons learned after the death of eight extended family members in less than two years, and, to that end, they share personal insights and scriptural examples of how to cling to hope in God in the midst of grief. [Dr. Tony] Evans's children celebrate their mother's legacy with fond recollections of family meals and celebrations, and explain that the book is the fulfillment of their mother's desire that they work together and combine the strengths of their individual ministries. Any Christian who has wrestled with loss will appreciate this message of hope.' -- Publishers Weekly

NOTE: This ISBN is not a Study Guide “When we approach God humbly and bow down before Him, we put ourselves in a position to hear from Him.” Are you longing to hear God’s voice, but feeling disconnected? God wants to speak directly to each of His beloved children, not to just a few “spiritual elite.” Priscilla Shirer looks at God’s call to Samuel and uncovers six characteristics essential for hearing from God: <ul>
<li>A simple RELATIONSHIP, unfettered by sin or pride</li> <li>A single-minded WORSHIP, focused on God and His glory</li> <li>A set-apart HOLINESS, determined to live a life that honors Him</li> <li>A still ATTENTIVENESS, willing to be silent before Him</li> <li>A sold-out HUNGER, passionately pursuing God’s presence</li> <li>A servant SPIRIT, submitted to God’s call</li> </ul>
Her warmth and honesty, combined with a wealth of practical help, will inspire you to cultivate these traits in your own life. By doing so, you will prepare yourself to draw closer to Him and to hear His voice more clearly.

Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God is Speaking

The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God’s chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God’s invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it! 
Similarly, modern day Christians often hear and understand the promises of God each Sunday morning at church but then rarely choose to experience them in everyday life. In One in a Million, Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer invites us to change that pattern for good, living beyond our circumstances and expecting to see God move in miraculous ways day after day. Without a doubt, we can find and follow God’s purpose for our journey. We can make it to the Promised Land!

Old Testament heroes are best known for their most celebrated moments: Moses dividing the Red Sea; David slaying Goliath; Gideon routing an insurmountable army; Joshua marching around the defiant walls of Jericho. And Elijah--calling down fire on Mount Carmel. Blinded by the remarkable narratives of our biblical heroes, we can forget they each had a backstory--months and years of development, even difficulty, which fortified their spiritual muscle and prepared them for the tasks that made their lives unforgettable. Every serious believer longs to summon up the kind of boldness and faith that can stand firm on Mount Carmel and pray down heaven into impossible situations. Yet few are willing to go through the process required to get them there. Strength of faith, character, and boldness can only be shaped in the hidden fires of silence, sameness, solitude, and adversity. Those who patiently wait on God in the darkness emerge with their holy loyalty cemented, their courage emblazoned, and their confident belief in Him set afire. Join Priscilla Shirer on this 7-session journey through the life and times of the prophet Elijah to discover how the fire on Mount Carmel was forged in the valley of famine. And how the emboldened, fiery faith you desire is being fashioned by God in your life right now. Features: <ul> <li>Leader guide to help with questions and discussions within small groups</li> <li>Personal study segments to complete between 7 weeks of group sessions</li> <li>Seven enriching teaching videos, approximately 30-40 minutes per session, available for purchase or rent</li> <li>Articles for each session to enhance your study and application of the content</li> </ul> Benefits: <ul> <li>Understand the value of seasons of growth and testing in your spiritual maturity.</li> <li>Be encouraged to wait on God's good work in your heart and mind, even in seasons when you feel like no one sees.</li> <li>Learn to trust in the goodness and faithfulness of God and His purposes for your life.</li> </ul>
