Interesting book. I've read alot of Christian books in the past and this one covered points and perspectives I have not seen.

I would recommend to family and friends.

This was my first book read for 2024, and I know it will continue to make an impact for many years to come. Havilah has a fantastic writing style that is informative and engaging. Some writers have a tendency to come off as knowing it all, not Havilah. What she does know, she openly shares as if the readers are at the same table as she. This is a fantastic book to read either in a small group or solo.

An excellent book by Havilah Cunnington teaching on ways we hear God. It will open you up to the different ways God speaks and help you discover how he speaks to you most often. It is a good teaching book. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley.

This was an informative read on the different prophetic personalities and how we hear God differently. Through this book I saw myself a bit in each but was able to identify my main two prophetic personalities as the knower and the feeler. I'm a good mix of the two (even though they contradict each other a bit). The book was down to earth and realistic. I definitely resonated with the notion Havilah brought up of feeling like a second-rate Christian due to not necessarily "hearing" the voice of God. As a knower primarily, I'd heard people say "God said x to me" many times in life and attended services that relied heavily on the Holy Spirit speaking and felt left out and lost as if I didn't belong. This book made it clear to my why I felt that way. It was an easy, quick read. The only thing I would say (and I'm not taking a star off for it because the book deserves all the stars), is that the formatting for Kindle was off. Sections were spliced & not fitting correctly on the page and for that could use more editing. It was still readable but didn't flow perfectly.

I really enjoy Havilah's books. I felt this book had some really good information on how you hear from God. It was a little confusing for me though to keep them all straight. I enjoyed it.

This book what not what I was expecting when I sat down to read it.

While I agree that God speaks to us, I believe He speaks to us through His Word, rather than through visions or thoughts.

I agree with the author that God desires a relationship with each of His children.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

Havilah Cunnington is an author, speaker, and pastor. In her newest book, "Created to Hear God: 4 Unique and Proven Ways to Confidently Discern His Voice", Cunnington asserts that we are all spiritual beings. Because of this, God is always speaking to us and we can learn to hear His voice. The author states that, "hearing God speak to you at the deepest level gives your life meaning." She says that there are four prophetic personality types: the hearer, the seer, the feeler, and the knower. Cunnington gives a description of each type, as well as a Bible character who demonstrated each personality type.

While I agree that God speaks to us, I believe that He speaks to us now primarily through His Word, rather than through visions or thoughts. However, I can appreciate the transparency the author included in her book, as well as her assertion that God desires a relationship with each of His children. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
