Summary of Adam S. McHugh's The Listening Life
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The words listen and obey have the same root. In Latin, the word obey would not exist without the word listen. The distinction between listening and doing is the result of human beings tearing asunder what belongs together.
#2 Listening is also about obedience. When we hear a sound that commands our attention, we are forced to listen. Music has the ability to command us, and we obey it.
#3 Listening is never passive, a stall or placeholder until you do something about it. Biblical listening is a full-bodied listening that not only vibrates our eardrums but echoes in our souls and resonates out into our limbs.
#4 Listening is a practice of focused attention. It is a chosen obedience, like soldiers falling into line the moment their commanding officer calls them to attention.
