review 1: This book had been mentioned at a conference I attended last month and having previously read 'Too Busy Not To Pray' by Bill Hybels and found it really thought provoking I decided to buy a copy of 'Whisper'. Being from the UK I found the Americanisms rather off-putting and some chapters seemed a little self-indulgent. Having said that I found the explanation of God's whispers to people throughout the Bible really instructive (Chapter 2). Also Chapter 3 contained results of a survey that Bill had conducted with his congregation with personal accounts of their whispers. This was revealing and I began to think that actually I was on to something. There were some very good parts in this book, it helped to fill in some gaps for me, but also some parts I felt I wanted to ski... morep and maybe the book could have been condensed into something smaller. Perhaps it's down to editing! Even so I am glad I read it as the good parts were very helpful.
review 2: Bill (the author) is the Pastor at my church. He writes from his experiences. Which he humbly describes. He is not someone who hasn't failed, or tried to lead by example. He speaks from the heart, and prompts you through the reflection he gives, and the scripture he believes in, to understand how you need to get back up and keep moving forward, listen for the whispers. God speaks to us, and not necessarily loudly. You have to have the ear, to hear what we know in our hearts and souls is being said. less
