God Talks to You

Book Cover & Preview Text
When God and I were talking about writing this book, God said, Ron, don't you think I want them all to hear?
God wants to communicate with you. That is why you are reading this book. It is no accident that you are here. This is a special moment in time. God has been seeking you for a long time. God wants to walk beside you everyday as your closest friend.
You know how to pray, how to ask God for things, but you don't know how to listen for God to talk back. If God were to speak to you, you wouldn't know who it was. God is speaking to you now, and if you listen to yourself you know it. You thought it was your idea to pick up this book. But it was not your idea; it was God's idea. God wants you to read this.
You can put the book down if you want to. That's what evil wants you to do. Evil doesn't want you to get close to God. Evil wants you isolated from everybody. Evil wants you to think that there is no God, or if there is one, God is mad at you. But if God were mad at you, you wouldn't be feeling good right now, that exciting, thrilling feeling. That is God encouraging you to read on.
You have probably sought God before in a book, a church, or a religion, but you may have ended up feeling empty. God seemed to elude you. God didn't seem interested in you, or was too distant, so you gave up. But still you could feel God from time to time--that gentle little knock on your heart. God is going to talk to you, and when He does, you will never be the same again.
To believe in God, you must have your own experience with God. John Keats said, 'Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.' The best part of all this is that God is very close to you. A part of God lives inside of you. You are not God, and never will be, but God can and will contact you inside your own thinking. If you want to see one place where God lives, go look in the mirror. God lives inside of you. He has been there all along. You do not have to look for God in someone else. God is much bigger than that. Look for God inside of you.
As you read this, you feel a gentle nudge. God wants you to feel it. This knock is so gentle that it is almost beyond human perception. God is as real as you are. God is a person who loves you more than anyone else possibly could. God wants to whisper into your soul and tell you that He loves you.

About the Book
In the past year both Time and Newsweek have run covers dealing with a new spiritual hunger in Americans. With violence filling the front pages we wonder if there is anything more to life, if there is anything right and good in the world that we can cling to. As we get older, confronting old age and death, we look for spiritual direction. Each week at least one book on the New York Times bestseller list deals with the spiritual journey of some person.
God Talks teaches the reader how to receive communications directly from God. The reader asks God questions and gets answers back. Neale Donald Walsch's book Conversations with God just spent over 100 weeks on the bestseller list. In his book God talks to Neale, in this book God talks to you. Which book would you rather read?
God Talks will have a major impact on the spiritual and secular community alike. Imagine how the world will change if people talk to God and God talks back. Dr. Robert R. Perkinson has been using these techniques for ten years at Keystone Treatment Center, and for everyone who tries, God speaks to the person directly and the person knows it is God--there is no doubt. Here are a few quotes from spiritual leaders who have read the book and practiced the exercises.
Clergy Reviews
Reverend Mark Holland, Canton United Methodist Church, 621 E. 4th Street, Canton, SD 57013 stated, 'After reading the book, I spent several minutes quieting myself, and then I asked God if there was a message for me. 'Mark I've missed you!' Although there were no words spoken, I felt this message very clearly. I was quite surprised. Daily I was involved with spiritual matters, praying, preaching, and counseling. Nevertheless, I discovered that God was lonely for me.'
Reverend Dave Waldowski, Good Shepherd Community Church, 2100 W. Ralph Rogers Road, Sioux Falls, SD 57108-2643 stated, 'This book and tape do not only 'discuss' communication with God, moreover if you follow these simple principles you will 'experience' and 'hear' God's voice on a daily basis.'
Reverend Al Peratt Sr., Ridgecrest Baptist Church, 200 West Rose Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57105 stated, 'Everybody should give themselves a break and try this book and tape. I give it to other Pastor's, choir members, rest home residents, VA residents, and of course my own family members.'
Reverend Jalmer Eldal, 6001 West Essex Dr., Sioux Falls, SD 57106-1625 stated, 'One of the very best communicators of conscious contact with God is Dr. Robert Perkinson, a psychologist at Keystone Treatment Center. His book and tape on spirituality have helped hundreds of people experience contact with God.'
Through special prayer and meditation techniques, the text shows the reader how to tune in God's voice, and then how to improve conscious contact with God.

Dr. Perkinson shares his personal experience, detailing his spiritual journey, doubt, struggles and faith.
If you have been feeling empty inside and longing for something you don't really understand, that is God calling you home. Through this text you will experience the joy of a personal relationship with your closest friend and Father.
