A Life of Listening

Description

In this memoir, lifelong minister of the gospel Leighton Ford tells his story as a personal history of listening for GodÕs 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, first as an international evangelist, often in partnership with Billy Graham, and later as a leader of the Lausanne Movement and a mentor of emerging leaders, he remembers God's voice proclaiming, instructing, 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 lifeÑthe life of listening. What will it sound like, Ford asks, when God speaks to you?
