What does it mean to hear God's voice and follow it? And can we be certain of the calling God has for us as His children? From Biblical times up to the present, men and women have asked these questions and forged out answers that enabled them to become what we now describe as "the saints of the Church." The faith journeys of some of these saints are recorded in They Knew Their God Volume Three by E. & L. Harvey who were inspired by the passage in Psalms 48: 12-13: "Walk about Zion, go all around it, count its towers, consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels, that you may tell the next generation."
Beginning with the French count, Marquis de Renty, and concluding with Bishop Asbury, the founder of American Methodism, the authors introduce us to men and women who heard God's voice and followed. Although their paths of service varied greatly, each were channels of blessing through which God poured His saving and healing balm on hungry and thirsty souls. Some sacrificed riches and fame to fulfil their calling; others left home and country, while still others were led to share their revelations from God through sermons and books which still stir and provoke us to holy living.
Don't read these biographies, however, if you are stuck within denominational boundaries. Don't read them if you want a hard and fast blueprint for your lives. Don't read them if you have decided exactly what you will or will not attempt for God. But read them if you feel within you the unquenchable desire to bless the world through following the call of the One Who made you, loved you, and redeemed you. His Voice still speaks to listening ears
