Eavesdropping on God: One Man's Conversations with the Lord: Book Eight Truth to Trust

By David Jeffers

In Eavesdropping on God, the reader has the privilege of "listening" in on the conversations, the questions, and the struggles that one man faces that are not unfamiliar to many Christians. I borrowed the term, Eavesdropping on God, from my pastor Dr. Dennis Brunet. Dr. Brunet, while preaching, will talk directly to one individual and tell him or her, “Can I talk to you for a bit? We’ll just let the others eavesdrop.” Book Eight, Truth to Trust, answers the lie that truth is relevant and that there is no such thing as absolute truth. Not only is truth absolute, but also we can know it to be true. Jesus said: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) Sit back and enjoy a daily devotional for the next month. There are 30 devotionals arranged in alphabetical order by title. Although these words are from one man's life, you will be amazed and blessed by their application to your everyday life.

David Jeffers

Best-selling author Dave Jeffers is a Sunday School Teacher, Bible student, and lay preacher. Dave graduated magna cum laude from Liberty University with a bachelors degree in religion. Dave received cum laude honors at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a M.A. in Theological Studies. Dave is a 1975 graduate of Analy High School in Sebastopol, CA. Dave has taught and preached the word of God at churches in Germany and Belgium, and for the last 13 years at Midway Baptist Church in Gulf Breeze, FL. Dave is a retired Army Master Sergeant and his 22 years of active duty not only allowed him to travel the world, but to also adopt a worldview based biblical principles and life experiences. Dave's love for Christ, politics, and his plain spokenness allow him to cut through all the rancor and confusion found in the debate surrounding many of today's "hot-button" issues. Dave and his wife Karen love living in NW Florida, doting over their grandson Benjamin, their two daughters Becky and Tiffany, and Tiffany's husband Ben. Dave will tell you that the problems facing America today cannot be fixed through economics or politics, because our problems are not economic or political. They are spiritual and without a revival coming to America our nation will not rediscover its national virtue and return to what the Founding Fathers had envisioned when constructing our Constitution.

What Amazon Readers Are Saying About the

Eavesdropping on God Series

I have always loved devotionals. They help one to focus on God's daily provisions. I was happy to see this book in the Kindle shop because the book can go with me wherever I go with my Kindle. The moment I started reading this devotional, I knew I had something that I had always wanted on my Kindle.

My Observations:

*** These are brief devotionals, which even the busiest person can read.

*** There is one devotion for each day, 30 in all.

*** The presentation touches one's heart deeply.

*** It is spiritually very stimulating.

My Only grievance is that there are only 30 of them. I wish the author would give us at least 3 months worth of reading in each volume, 4 volumes per year.

My Recommendation: *** Good buy for everyone who takes their devotions seriously. Dr. Phillip C. Johnson

I thoroughly enjoyed this devotional by David Jeffers. While I often privately use a devotional for quiet reflection, I found the conversational tone that David used actually created a desire to share what I had read. My wife and I soon found out that we enjoyed reading it together and talking about the truths that David's writing illuminated.

I first purchased the paperback, and then I purchased the Kindle edition. I later purchased more copies to give to family. The last devotional in the book really touched me, wading into deep waters. I also recently purchased his follow up second devotional the day it was available for the Kindle, and paperbacks to give as gifts.

One thing I truly appreciate in this devotional is that I don't feel like I have been shorted to fit a format. Each reading is complete and thought provoking. His use of God's word to underscore the message is right on. I will continue to use this devotional in the future by revisiting it as a supplement to my personal study. Jim Rabb

Reading this is great. I actually feel like I'm listening in on God! The author is my friend and brother in Christ, so I am not surprised at how good this is. Can't wait to read more! Jason Death

I'll be honest with you right up front - I know this author personally. That aside however, I'll tell you that if you're looking for an insightful, spiritually-driven, relevant devotional/book that'll speak to your soul, look no further than Eavesdropping on God. Jeffers does a superb job connecting with what I personally believe to be the spiritual intent. I can say that because it literally resonated as truth spoken from a man who set himself aside and took on a role of a spiritual deliveryman. Get your copy soon. And while you're shopping, check out his other writings, which are equally as intellectually and spiritually stimulating! Gary Westfal, #1 Amazon best-selling author

The best book ever (other than the Bible)! David Jeffers talks about everyday conversations with God about everyday occurrences in this life. You won't be disappointed! This devotional series is packed with some of the most encouraging and uplifting words you will find outside of the bible. Angel Humphrey

It has been said that all truth is relative and that absolute truth is no longer something upon which we can rely. Nothing could be further from the truth. Absolute truth, of which Jesus spoke, has always been, is, and always will be alive and real.

Foreword

I first came to the knowledge of my salvation when I was thirteen years old. One day out of sheer boredom I picked up the Bible to read. Little did I realize what God had in store for me. Starting with the Gospels, I was utterly amazed how God revealed Himself and the magnificence of His Majesty to me.

Then God went deeper and showed me that I was His child. I understood then that the Jesus He revealed in the Gospels was for me! I read Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; and my life changed forever. Simply by reading His Word, God showed me first who He is and then who I am in Him.

God revealed deep truths in a simple way to a thirteen-year old boy. That thirteen-year old boy could pick up this devotional and learn deep truths.

However, this book is not for everyone. Some do not believe the truth. This book is for those who know Him. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 15:26 KJV). Once Jesus has become the Lord and Savior of your life, then you can receive the Spirit of Truth. Truth is a Spirit: the Holy Spirit.

This book is a jewel! David Jeffers has written a devotional that explains deep truths allowing Christians to understand its meanings.

This book reveals the Truth, reveals the Holy Spirit, and testifies of Jesus. The saved will read this book, see the Truth, and grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus.

What is refreshing about this book is that a new believer in Jesus, or a mature student of the Word, will find truths that are meaningful and can be applied in a daily walk. A walk that can help those who don’t know Jesus, come to His saving knowledge and be set free by His Truth.
