How to listen for God's direction--in every aspect of life

Does an infinite and all-powerful God really care about the ordinary aspects of our lives? Pastor Jim Samra answers with an enthusiastic "Yes!" From the trivial to the life-changing, God cares about it all because it concerns his creatures, his creation, and his kingdom.

In this unique book, Samra unpacks biblical passages and shares fascinating true stories about God's specific guidance. He explains how to distinguish God's guiding voice from all others and provides practical advice for learning to listen.

If you have ever wanted to ask God for direction about where to live, who to marry, or how best to endure a difficult trial, God Told Me is the place to start.


"Samra sensitively and carefully guides you through the maze of what can be said about God's guidance. It will push you to rely more on God. And that is a very good thing."--Darrell Bock, research professor of New Testament studies, Dallas Theological Seminary

"My friend Jim Samra has unraveled the often tangled mystery of recognizing God's voice and learning to follow it."--Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, president, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Michigan

"Samra boldly contends that God speaks to people today to provide concrete guidance, and he is careful to root his argument in Scripture rather than personal experience, though the latter provides plenty of colorful illustrations."--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College Graduate School

"If you believe God speaks but are not sure how to be confident you are receiving heavenly direction, this book will bring clarity to your listening process."--Kevin G. Harney, pastor of Shoreline Community Church and author of Reckless Faith
