He Speaks to Me
Preparing to Hear from God
Author: Priscilla Shirer
Cost: $15.00

Priscilla Shirer draws life lessons from the account of God speaking to the boy Samuel. In this beloved Bible story found in 1 Samuel 3, Priscilla relates six characteristics found in Samuel that are applicable to women today as they tune their hearts to hear God's voice. These characteristics are: A Simple Relationship, A Set Apart Holiness, A Still Attentiveness, A Single-Minded Worship, A Sold Out Hunger, and A Servant's Spirit. By listening to God's voice and obeying Him, women will be drawn into a closer relationship to God that brings a deeper desire to serve Him faithfully.
