    About this ebook

    Dave Jeffers is a Sunday School Teacher, Bible student, and lay preacher. Dave graduated magna cum laude from Liberty University with a bachelor’s degree in religion. Dave received cum laude honors at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a M.A. in Theological Studies. In Eavesdropping on God, the reader has the privilege of "listening" in on the conversations, the questions, and the struggles that one man faces that are not unfamiliar to many Christians. Book Twelve, Reflections of Jesus, is the author’s call to Christians to not allow misplaced fear to cause us to abandon God’s ways and seek our own answers. King Solomon wrote: “For the turning away of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil.” (Proverbs 1:32-33)

    David Jeffers

    Best-selling author Dave Jeffers is a Sunday School Teacher, Bible student, and lay preacher. Dave graduated magna cum laude from Liberty University with a bachelors degree in religion. Dave received cum laude honors at Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary with a M.A. in Theological Studies. Dave is a 1975 graduate of Analy High School in Sebastopol, CA. Dave has taught and preached the word of God at churches in Germany and Belgium, and for the last 13 years at Midway Baptist Church in Gulf Breeze, FL. Dave is a retired Army Master Sergeant and his 22 years of active duty not only allowed him to travel the world, but to also adopt a worldview based biblical principles and life experiences. Dave's love for Christ, politics, and his plain spokenness allow him to cut through all the rancor and confusion found in the debate surrounding many of today's "hot-button" issues. Dave and his wife Karen love living in NW Florida, doting over their grandson Benjamin, their two daughters Becky and Tiffany, and Tiffany's husband Ben. Dave will tell you that the problems facing America today cannot be fixed through economics or politics, because our problems are not economic or political. They are spiritual and without a revival coming to America our nation will not rediscover its national virtue and return to what the Founding Fathers had envisioned when constructing our Constitution.

      Eavesdropping on God - David Jeffers

      What Amazon Readers Are Saying About the

      Eavesdropping on God Series

      I have always loved devotionals. They help one to focus on God's daily provisions. I was happy to see this book in the Kindle shop because the book can go with me wherever I go with my Kindle. The moment I started reading this devotional, I knew I had something that I had always wanted on my Kindle.

      My Observations:

      *** These are brief devotionals, which even the busiest person can read.

      *** There is one devotion for each day, 30 in all.

      *** The presentation touches one's heart deeply.

      *** It is spiritually very stimulating.

      My Only grievance is that there are only 30 of them. I wish the author would give us at least 3 months’ worth of reading in each volume, 4 volumes per year.

      My Recommendation: *** Good buy for everyone who takes their devotions seriously. Dr. Phillip C. Johnson

      ~~~~~~~~~~

      I thoroughly enjoyed this devotional by David Jeffers. While I often privately use a devotional for quiet reflection, I found the conversational tone that David used actually created a desire to share what I had read. My wife and I soon found out that we enjoyed reading it together and talking about the truths that David's writing illuminated.

      I first purchased the paperback, and then I purchased the Kindle edition. I later purchased more copies to give to family. The last devotional in the book really touched me, wading into deep waters. I also recently purchased his follow up second devotional the day it was available for the Kindle, and paperbacks to give as gifts.

      One thing I truly appreciate in this devotional is that I don't feel like I have been shorted to fit a format. Each reading is complete and thought provoking. His use of God's word to underscore the message is right on. I will continue to use this devotional in the future by revisiting it as a supplement to my personal study. Jim Rabb

      Reading this is great. I actually feel like I'm listening in on God! The author is my friend and brother in Christ, so I am not surprised at how good this is. Can't wait to read more! Jason Death

      I'll be honest with you right up front - I know this author personally. That aside however, I'll tell you that if you're looking for an insightful, spiritually-driven, relevant devotional/book that'll speak to your soul, look no further than Eavesdropping on God. Jeffers does a superb job connecting with what I personally believe to be the spiritual intent. I can say that because it literally resonated as truth spoken from a man who set himself aside and took on a role of a spiritual deliveryman. Get your copy soon. And while you're shopping, check out his other writings, which are equally as intellectually and spiritually stimulating! Gary Westfal, #1 Amazon best-selling author

      The best book ever (other than the Bible)! David Jeffers talks about everyday conversations with God about everyday occurrences in this life. You won't be disappointed! This devotional series is packed with some of the most encouraging and uplifting words you will find outside of the bible. Angel Humphrey

      We are told that we are to be Christlike. How is that possible if we don’t first know Him, and then love Him? To know and love Him means we will have to be of one mind, in perfect agreement with His precepts and principles.

      But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

      Foreword

      The Christ Life.

      So much encompasses this one simple phrase that many a book has been written to explain it. Most would say that the Christ Life is going to church, reading your Bible, or anything that is publicly seen to be affectionate to God. We tend to forget one of the most important aspects of the Christ Life: seeking to become more like Christ through personal conversations with the Lord. If we are to be disciples of Christ, we are going to have to get alone with Jesus. This is crucial to the Christ Life.

      David Jeffers has been my friend and dear brother for a little over a year. He carries many titles including: author, writer, teacher, leader, patriot, servant, theologian, and a man of God. These areas of expertise are exercised within our church, where David serves as a member of our elder council, greeting ministry and Sunday school ministries. His insight into spiritual matters can only be explained by careful study of the scriptures, and extensive quality time with our Savior, Jesus Christ. As he seeks to live the Christ Life, David also desires for the reader to do the same. Drawing from both biblical and personal references, David lays out Spirit inspired devotions that will bless, encourage, and convict the reader.

      This book is not for those who get offended easily, or, maybe, it is. Godly offense is usually a sign of conviction. My prayer is for those who will be offended because of their complacency and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I pray that they will awaken from their sleep, knowing that the time has come to be soldiers for Christ. And also for those who desire to seek God’s face daily, will cling and mediate on these words.

      And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

      (Romans 13:11-12)

      These pages are filled with many truths, but primarily focus on the main tool of the Evil One; fear. This tool can and will be used to deter Christians from what God has called them
