God Told Me, gave me much to think about which I had never considered before about listening to God and turning to Him for direction. I know as a parent - and grandparent - I absolutely care what direction my children/grandchildren take in life. Of course I would offer my guidance any time they want it. Why would God, my heavenly Father be any different? Of course He cares what direction I take in life. Of course He cares about the decisions I make. Of course He is more than willing to offer guidance any time I am willing to listen to it. The question is not "if" God will give me guidance, but whether I will listen, or not, and then how can I listen for His guidance.

This book is a "must-read" for teens as they look forward to their lives and all the decisions they will be making. It is a "must-read" for adults as they navigate through all the decisions in life. It just simply is a "must-read". The insight it gives as to how God speaks to us is life-changing! Read God Told Me, and learn to listen for God's voice!
