Jim takes a good portion of his book to examine the biblical passages and verses that are used to support this faulty doctrine by placing them back into their original context. There are real struggles and fears that have taken root in the church today because of this faulty doctrine and they are devastating to those who believe them. ![]() At worst, you may not even be a Christian and salvation is on the line. At best you probably need to try harder and buy the most recent 5 step book on how to hear God's voice.

Oftentimes today the test of "spirituality" or your "personal relationship" with God in the evangelical church is determined by how many voices, impressions or directions you are getting from God. Many including myself grew up in the modern evangelical movement believing that hearing whispers or a "still small voice", feeling impressions and looking for signs/omens was normal and expected for decision making. Jim Osman does an excellent job with his newest book exploring the unofficial evangelical doctrine of hearing special and extra biblical revelations from God. ![]()
