"Be quick to listen, slow to speak." ?James 1:19How would our lives change if we approached every experience with the intention of listening first?In this noisy, distracting world, it is difficult to truly hear. People talk past each other, eager to be heard but somehow deaf to what is being said. Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships, both with God and with other people. But it is more than that: listening is a way of life.Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality, our relationships and our mission in the world. God himself is the God who hears, and we too can learn to hear what God may be saying, through creation, through Scripture, through people. By cultivating a posture of listening, we become more attentive and engaged with those around us. Listening shapes us and equips us to be more attuned to people in pain and more able to minister to those in distress.Our lives are qualitatively different?indeed, better?when we become listeners. Heed the call to the listening life, and hear what God is doing in you and the world.

The Listening Life by Adam S. McHugh is one very important and impact-ful book I have read in 2019. In this book, McHugh points out how we have lost the art of focused listening and challenges us to embrace attentiveness in a world filled with distractions and noises. He argues that listening is both vital and central to healthy relationships, whether with God, others or even self. Very insightfully, McHugh shows from Scripture how God is a God Who Listens. This listening is already part of the essence within the Triune Godhead. Over several chapters, McHugh shows us how to listen to God, particularly when He speaks through Scripture, creation, and others. As he challenges us to make listening a way of life, he also shows how we can more effectively minister to people in pain as we truly listen to them. This book should be read by every Christian who is serious about cultivating his relationships with God and others. Pastors and spiritual directors will also find this book helpful as they provide spiritual direction for others. Highly recommended!
