"You and I are participants in this flow of action, and it is up to us to meet it successfully. We are partners....This is a world of action."

“That is self-indulgence.”

May 26, 2026

“Lord, are those moments of union with God the goal or are they just nice accompaniments?” Neither.  You shouldn’t strive for moments of union per se, for peak experiences.  That is self-indulgence, and a mistake of some who seek mystical experience.  It is like orgasms—you should not seek them for their own sake.  That is […]

“It Sounded Like Orders From Above.”

May 21, 2026

Believe the inspirations I send you.  Do not worry about any other standards than communicating correctly what I reveal to you.  It may seem crazy to others.  It (revelation) always does.  This is the courage of the messenger. I felt like Dorothy being swept up in the whirlwind.  And poor Abigail, would she be swept […]

“Pray and I Will Tell You”

May 14, 2026

I started making a list of great spiritual leaders to pray about.  I thought the question would be, for example, What was God communicating to Martin Luther?  But, when I asked, I got a different answer. Suppose you brought a guy in – say, Luther – and cut him up (dissected him, looked at the […]

Meet Jerry Martin | Hear His Story

God: An Autobiography tells the story of Jerry's mind-opening conversations with God.

The voice announced, “I am God.” For Jerry Martin, that encounter began a personal, intellectual, and spiritual adventure. He had not believed in God. He was a philosopher, trained to be skeptical— to doubt everything. So, his first question was: Is this really God talking?

There were other urgent questions: What will my wife think? Why would God want to talk to me? Does God want me to do something?

He began asking all the questions about life and death and ultimate things to which he—and all of us—have sought answers: Love and loss. Happiness and suffering. Good and evil. Death and the afterlife. The world’s religions. The ways God communicates with us. How to live in harmony with God.

Jerry L. Martin was raised in a Christian home. By the time he left college, he was not a believer.

But he was interested in the big questions and so he studied the great thinkers. He became a philosophy professor and served as head of the philosophy department at the University of Colorado at Boulder and of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In addition to scholarly articles on epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and public policy, he wrote reports on education that received national attention and was invited to testify before Congress. He stepped down from that career to write this book, following divine guidance.

A philosophy professor, he had a naturalistic worldview that had no place for a divine dimension of any kind.

But one day he had occasion to pray.  To his vast surprise, God answered – in words -- with a voice that was “real, benign, and authoritative.”
