Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God

Written by Henry T Blackaby, Richard Blackaby and Claude King

Narrated by Wayne Shepherd

When you listen to this audio, you'll find that you aren't just listening.  No, you are being remade, reoriented, restored from the frustration of what you may have known as stale religion.  Captured not by a concept, but by your Creator, reborn in relationship.  Here's the Experiencing God that has already impacted millions of people.  Only it's bigger, and better, and ready to lead you again - or for the very first time - into an experience with God.  Carefully listening to His voice will anchor you in His plan, and set you free to live it with boldness and freedom.  After a thorough revision, this landmark volume returns with seven new chapters, as well as dozens of true stories from people who, through this book, have experienced God.

one of the most powerful books I've read about knowing God personally and doing his will.

[Mark A Rioux · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is an eye opening book and a must read or listen because he will put you into check.

[sueincyprus · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A book that - supposedly - helps people listen for God's voice, and develop a better relationship with him. Some good points, though a bit repetitive in places.

[ASBse · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very impressed with this audiobook, I prefer this narrator over the newer recording. I will now buy this audiobook after getting to sample a few chapters here.

I read the first 10 chapters and although the book contains some good teachings and encouraging anecdotes, it also contains teachings on hearing the voice of THEOS which are rather to be viewed with a critical eye.

It appears that he spiritualizes in the way that, although 'burning bush experiences' are certainly not the norm, we can have similar experiences. He speaks a lot about how THEOS speaks to us, but there are no details on what he means with this. We don't know if he means a small voice in your head or if he means a literal voice, but it has rather the appearance of a literal voice which indeed is problematic.

He also quotes Charles Spurgeon, who was a highly problematic teacher even though endorsed by many Calvinists and even non-Calvinists.

Henry Blackaby is also endorsed by Guideposts, owned by the 33' Freemason Norman Vincent Peale, which is a very concerning sign.

Overall, I thought this study was a good one, although I didn't buy into all that was mentioned. I had some issues with some of the statements that are a reflection of their denominational background, but I still got a lot of good information and food for that in this study. I would recommend it.

Rating: A
Blackaby's writing style is like Bolero by Ravel. It just expresses, builds and repeats. There is a rhythm to it. He presents a truth, builds on it, repeats it, presents another related truth, builds on it, repeats it, repeats the first truth, and on and on and on. You are drawn in. He presents real and compelling stories, examples and scripture to reinforce the truths he reveals. I have read this book more than once -- taught from it at least once. Never grows old.

Very possibly the best Bible study I have done. Total life changer. Such a way of bringing basic truths to Life in way you want to experience and not just read about our Lord. Don't hesitate Get it Do it!

This book is AMAZING! If you want to learn more about what God wants from you and where he wants you to go, read this book. You can truly experience God with this book.

". . . we do not find God's will - it is revealed. God always takes the initiative."

[drj_6 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A very thorough 13 week course designed to be used in a group study setting. However, I am doing this on my own and have benefited from the different direction the authors take in their approach to conversing with God and learning to let God work through you.

I worked through the workbook years ago with friends from church. This book pretty much mirrors the workbook and presents it in a readable, book format. Content is pretty much the same. Having said that, this is an awesome book. Presenting ways in which we can know God's will and then how to go about doing God's will. This is one that any Christian should read and I for one was encouraged by it and am now "hearing" God speak to me each day in many ways. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to experience God fully.

[sandib_17 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Outstanding in concept and perspective. I did get impatient with the rather simplistic writing style, which becomes boring after a while; but the content is extraordinary and certainly gives food for thought. It also clarifies many things about walking with God.
