Overview
Based on the idea that Jesus lays out in Chapter 10 of John's gospel, this study is an opportunity to hear, recognize, and respond to the voice of Jesus. The Shepherd's Voice blends the study of scripture with private prayer practice. It seamlessly weaves together ancient and modern elements, including inductive Bible study methods, Lectio Divina exercises, Immanuel Prayer models, and even methods used in traditional rabbinical midrash. At the heart of this study is an effort to enter an intimate conversation with the One who calls us by name.

Do you ever wish God would speak more clearly in your life? Is it sometimes difficult to discern God's voice from the many others that compete for your attention? What would Jesus sound like, if he did speak to you?
The Shepherd's Voice seamlessly weaves together ancient and modern practices in which you can learn to listen to God through scripture (Lectio Divina) and enter personal, meaningful dialogue with Jesus through prayer (Immanuel Prayer). Using an accessible and inviting approach, Elizabeth Head Black provides the tools which have, for generations, led many to know Jesus and experience personal connection in his presence.
The Shepherd's Voice draws upon the reader's spiritual imagination, powers of observation, and personal perspective to make a uniquely individual experience of entering scripture. Using the Holy Spirit as a guide through the Gospel of John, each lesson immerses the reader into the drama of Jesus' life, revealing the Shepherd's heart for his sheep.
The Shepherd's Voice features twenty-two lessons based on John's Gospel with
coordinated, listening-prayer exercises for each lesson. It is ideal for individual devotional use and small group studies. Come hear the voice of the One who is calling you by name.
