Description

God's Voice Revealed: Why Scripture Alone Is Enough

In a church culture obsessed with hearing God's voice through impressions, dreams, and mystical experiences, pastor Michael W. Sciarra offers a biblical corrective that will transform how you understand divine communication. This powerful exploration reveals that God's voice isn't hidden in whispers or feelings—it's found clearly and authoritatively in Scripture alone.

Drawing from decades of pastoral ministry and careful biblical scholarship, Sciarra dismantles popular but dangerous teachings that lead believers to seek revelation beyond God's Word. He exposes how modern evangelicalism has abandoned the sufficiency of Scripture, leaving Christians confused, disappointed, and chasing after subjective experiences rather than objective truth.

Instead of empty mysticism, discover the rich fellowship God intends through divine illumination and biblical meditation. Learn how the Holy Spirit uses Scripture to transform minds, guide decisions, and deepen your relationship with Christ. This isn't about limiting God—it's about experiencing Him as He truly reveals Himself.

Whether you're a pastor protecting your flock from false teaching, a believer seeking clarity on hearing God's voice, or someone wrestling with charismatic claims about divine communication, this book provides the biblical foundation you need. Grounded in the Protestant Reformation's commitment to Sola Scriptura, it calls the church back to confidence in God's all-sufficient Word.

Stop chasing whispers; start hearing God speak powerfully through His perfect, eternal, life-transforming Word.

Endorsements

If you are seeking to hear a word of comfort, or strength, or direction, or instruction, or joy from the Lord God; you need look no further than the pages of your Bible (Rom. 15:4). God's Word is more than sufficient nourishment for the hungry soul.

In an age where many believers anxiously seek additional words or guidance from God outside of Scripture, this book provides a much-needed corrective: God has already given us everything we need in His Word.
