Life Of Listening

The Christian life is a life of listening.

In this memoir, lifelong minister of the gospel Leighton Ford tells his story as a personal history of listening for God’s voice. Beginning with his earliest memories, he recounts the different ways God has spoken to him, and the different ways he has learned to listen. Through the joys of ministry in many years as an evangelist with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, he remembers God’s voice proclaiming, instructing, and reassuring. Through the pain of deep loss, he remembers God’s voice calling out to him even in the deafening silence. What emerges is not just an account of a long and faithful life of Christian service, but a picture of the Christian life–the life of listening. What will it sound like, Ford asks, when God speaks to you?
