When
I first read the title to Katharine C. Giovanni's book it
reminded me of the old joke - "Why is it considered sane
to talk to God, but crazy if you hear Him talking back?"
Thus, you can imagine the courage it took for Giovanni to
write this wonderful book. In a very brief but powerful preface
she tells us that "It is all about communication, not
denomination." So how do you know if the voice in your
head is your own voice or that of the Godhead? The anecdotes
shared by Giovanni, her family, and her friends state clearly
that they knew in the moment of divine communication that
it was not their own voice because the words they heard were
clear, loving, and interrupted the tumultuousness of their
own chaotic thoughts. However, it is this moment of divine
communication in times of great stress that Giovanni wants
us to understand that we can move beyond. That we can talk
to the Divine and the Divine will talk back - in words and
ways that we will clearly understand. This is a true how-to
book with examples, exercises, and explanations for how to
receive the answers to the questions burning within you. Whether
it is the sound of your own voice or the sound of the voice
of the Divine, learning to listen is the key to utilizing
this power of sound in personal transformation.
