Practical yet inspirational, the Virklers have combined the best of the school of the Word and the school of the Spirit to bring us this landmark work about How to Hear Gods Voice. This book will help guide and ground multitudes in their adventure to discern the voice of God. Great job!

Mark Virklers seminar, How to Hear Gods Voice, was a tremendous blessing to me and our church. Through the discipline of interactive journaling it seems as if the eyes and ears of our hearts have popped open. I highly recommend his book and seminar.

When I heard Marks material in the early 1980s, it quadrupled my ability to hear Gods voiceremoving a lot of the guess work.

How to Hear Gods Voice is very, very rich and wonderful. I am going to study personally with it. I praise God for your ministry and important contribution to the Body of Christ. If you have written other study manuals, would you kindly send a copy of each one of them to me?

I was introduced to a course of study called How to Hear Gods Voice containing a real anointed teaching on drawing closer to God. It is the favorite of all our students and I dont think I will ever have a school without it.
Dr. Harold Reents, Former Academic Dean

How to Hear Gods Voice by Mark and Patti Virkler has dramatically changed my prayer life. I have found that I can will to dialogue with Christ on a daily basis, and I do. I believe this inspired approach to be absolutely essential to the growth of every serious Christian. I further believe Communion With God is an excellent example of the uniquely powerful way God is reaching out to His people today.
Dr. Richard Watson, Former Professor
Oral Roberts University
I believe How to Hear Gods Voice is a practical and powerful biblical technique to help anyone hear the voice of God. Dr. Mark Virklers course and his book have greatly enriched the level of intimacy with God that our church members and I experience. Dr. Virklers methods have helped our church step into greater openness to the supernatural and to a more immediate expectancy for the presence of God. I highly recommend How to Hear Gods Voice to the Body of Christ.

I have an awareness of God Ive never had before. I received great insight that Ive never before known.

Worship has been enhanced so very much since attending the How to Hear Gods Voice class. God has seemingly released the prophetic in song and word in me.

Praise the Lord for the How to Hear Gods Voice course! Through the adventure into the practices of journaling, vision, and unabashed praise I feel closer to God than in all my years of one-sided prayer and self-righteous appearances in church on Sunday. Admittedly, I was at first quite skeptical of the validity and worth of journaling and awakening the visual capacity to hear rhema from God. I feared that by accepting spontaneous thoughts and feelings as the communication of the Almighty I might in some way offend the Lord by supposing my own feelings and desires to be His, thereby elevating myself to divine status and offering praise and worship to myself.
However, after honest consideration and attentive prayer over the matter, my heart and mind were opened and I knew undoubtedly that God was communicating with me and I ran greater risk of offending Him by rejecting His counsel as false rather than by accepting it in faith. Safely I can say that God has spoken to me.
As a result of this course I have drawn infinitely closer to the Lord and continue to move closer still. Communion with Him is indescribably more rewarding than lopsided prayer directed to a far-away God. For my entire life I lived outside of communion with Him; I stood in the Holy Place and never entered the Holy of Holies. The most amazing thing is that I never knew that I was missing the most wonderful experience in life. I could have lived out my time here quite content in never truly knowing God and believed myself to be taking full advantage of the invitation to be His child. How thankful I am that I have been shown that there is more available! How truly awesome to have full knowledge that the veil has been rent and we as lowly creations may spend a lifetime communing with the Lord! Hallelujah!

The guys from the federal prison camp, as well as the mentors, just couldnt say enough about the materials and what theyve learned through How to Hear Gods Voice.
Steve Cronk, South Florida Area Director
Prison Fellowship
An audiotape of the Four Keys to Hearing Gods Voice by Mark Virkler convinced me to go further. The teaching on this tape was sound, but the most important thing to me was hearing Mark instruct. I became convinced that he spoke about what he knew and not about something he had merely read or heardI just got back from a full two-day silent retreat as I did visioning for our parish. It was wonderful. I realized while I was on retreat that I no longer have any nagging doubts about journaling. I simply journal and see what the Lord says when I need to. I certainly thank you for your ministry.

I have been an active Baptist pastor for 37 years. As far as I am personally concerned, seminars like Counseled by God and How to Hear Gods Voice and Naturally Supernatural are absolutely fundamental to the building up of the inner life. At this present time we have six ongoing classes in
