God Dreams explores how God communicates with us in visual ways and provides practical tools to interpret symbols and picture-language to help us hear God's voice more clearly through our dreams.
God's most common way of speaking in biblical history is through dreams and visions. But today many of us are more likely to dismiss our visionary experiences as the product of a spicy meal rather than a potential message from God. But could we be missing out on the voice we so long to hear?
Global director of God Conversations Rev Dr Tania Harris unpacks the mysterious world of dreams and visions. Drawing on her ministry experience, theological research and the Revelation experiences of the early church, God Dreams will teach you about the nature of dream-visions, where they come from and how to interpret their symbolic and sometimes confusing language. You will learn that God is a masterful communicator and that a picture truly can paint a thousand words.
Using a practical 5-point framework, God Dreams provides a biblical basis to help you interpret dreams and visions and follow Jesus more closely.
