The Church Who Hears God's Voice

Provides church leaders and Christian thinkers with the theological framework and pastoral strategies needed to build churches where everyone can hear the Spirit's voice for themselves. After experiencing the transforming power of hearing God's voice in her own life, Revd Dr Tania Harris set out to unlock the questions Christians have debated for centuries: How does God speak. How do you know it's God. and What difference does it make to the church. As the central feature of the Spirit's outpouring at Pentecost and the grand prize of the New Covenant, the prospect of universal access to the Spirit is a powerful but pastorally risky concept. Drawing on insights from theology, sociology and her groundbreaking PhD research, Harris skilfully presents a comprehensive theology and pastoral strategy for how people in the church, whatever the tradition, can hear the Spirit's voice for themselves. Revd Dr Tania Harris enables church leaders to safely and effectively lead their people into a powerful experience that was intended to be a normal part of every Christian's life.
