IS THAT YOU LORD?
Hearing the voice of the Lord.
By Gary Gilley. Evangelical Press. 96 pages. £6.95
ISBN 978-0-85234-625-5

Gary Gilley is pastor of ‘Southern View Chapel’, which, I guess, is somewhere in the American mid-west and faces south. He is noted for his previous paperbacks, This little church went to market and This little church stayed home.

This book sets out to deal with a cluster of issues: mysticism and pietism, prophesy, guidance, whether God speaks to us through prayer, and how we are to respond to impressions and convictions. OK, so they are all connected, but that is quite a lot to be going on with. Gary is firmly in the cessationist camp and committed to the sufficiency of Scripture, as I am, so there wasn’t much to disagree with here. However, when you watch someone else go in to bat for your side, on a good wicket and against easy bowling, you expect better stroke play than this, and more boundaries!
