About this title: One of the strongest prophetic voices to the church today helps Christians grasp God's pattern for strengthening their churches, rather than relying on human ideas and methods that leave God on the periphery. Readers can learn how to be sensitive individually and corporately to the effort of the Spirit, exploring the trustworthy principles by which the Lord longs to guide each congregation toward its own distinctive mission.

"This book explains principles learned by him as a pastor of a small Canadian church from 1970 to 1982.
The idea that God would communicate His will and direction to a pastor and His church is really refreshing.
This is different from other books in that he minimizes church government, elder rule, vision of the board and emphasizes that the Spirit can and does, give direction to the group as a whole.
The concept revolves around specifically praying for direction, waiting, adjusting and stepping out on faith, when the individual senses God is giving the 'go-ahead'.
Short readable book by Henry Blackaby. I liked it because I can apply the principles to my life in ministries I am involved with.
An outline of the chapters and key verses follow:
Introduction God Speaks to His People Zechariah 1:3 (ESV) 3 Therefore say to them, Thus declares the Lord of hosts: Return to me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.
Chapter 1. God Takes the Initiative John 15:16 (ESV) 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
2. What Only God Can Do John 12:26 (ESV) 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
3. Seeing God Work Philippians 2:12-13 (ESV) 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
4. Hearing Him Isaiah 46:11 (ESV) 11 ...I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it.
5. Believing Him Isaiah 49:23 (ESV) 23 Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame."
6. Adjusting to Him Luke 14:27 (ESV) 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:33 (ESV) 33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
7. Obeying Him - And Seeing Results Revelation 2:10 (ESV) 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
If we are pray-ers and alert, God can and will move us along as He intends."
"Blackaby is rather vague about what the spirit is saying to the churches. While he has a few interesting points and gives some great detail into the faith that his Canadian Faith Baptist church has, I found the book lacking..."
