I received an advanced reader's copy of Hearing God, by Nathan Finochio from Waterbrook & Multnomah as a member of the Launch Team for an honest review. My first thoughts were....interesting. Finochio's book definitely falls within the charismatic church movement of theology.
Finochio states in his introduction that his book is about "how God is speaking through all kinds of channels." Finochio encourages the reader to not change how they are, but to change how one listens for the voice of God. The more one spends time with God's word, the more one sees and discovers God's works in the world around them.
One unique part of the writing of Hearing God, would be the voice of the writer. The book is written in a conversational modern vernacular. This does make the content more entertaining and easier to read. Another aspect of Hearing God is the use of scripture throughout the book. Finochio both quotes and paraphrases scripture to encourage the reader to form a deeper understanding of the bible.
He sums up his book with the this quote, "Here's the practical truth: if we know the Scriptures, have the right people around us, and cooperate with what the Bible and our godly friends tend to say, it's going to be tough not to hear God." Many will enjoy Finochio's book, Hearing God.

- I am a recently retired high school educator who is learning to spend time doing what I want to do. This is a new challenge in its own sense. It's like walking into a buffet and knowing you can eat all you want and not get full or gain any weight and for once you have absolutely no idea what you want. But I look forward to the journey of figuring it out.
