“It’s Not Meant To Be A Secret” Book Reviews:

Jan. 26, 2020 - Totally loving “It’s NOT Meant To Be A Secret” book! Started it tonight and can’t put it down. Not what I expected in terms of content and style. SO MUCH BETTER! SO MUCH MORE!!! Highly recommend it. It’s really not like any other book!!! It’s like reading a super extended modern day version of Song of Songs ... but still Papa’s voice!! So intimate...the voice of the Lord... beyond description... 💜✨ This is one of the most anointed and genuine ministries and humble and surrendered ministers I’ve encountered. - Kristina Elliott

Amazon Reviews: October 4, 2019 - A must read! Nathan French is truly a man directed by God! Nathan French has done a great job in writing his God given thoughts, dreams & message to the world.

May 3, 2018 -Life Changing! I absolutely love this book. It's written in a way that allows you to learn, through Nathan's experience, to hear God's voice. The words are deeply touching, encouraging and left my heart wanting more and more. I was blown away when I learned that not only does God speak to us, but He wants to communicate directly with every single one of us. This revelation has propelled me into an even deeper and more intimate relationship with my Father and my Lord. How different would your life be, if you plugged into the loving directive voice of God? For me, my life and heart will never be the same. Get this book, because it's really not meant to be a secret and allow revelation to wash over you as you open your mind and heart to the loving and powerful words from God. - Monamomstr

It’s NOT Meant to Be a Secret: God Wants to Speak to You
Aviva Publishing (2012)
ISBN: 9781935586920

New book reveals that God still speaks when we listen! When I first heard of “It’s NOT Meant to Be a Secret”, I admit I was skeptical. Who was this person who thinks God is speaking to him? Is he crazy? And if God is speaking to him, why isn’t he speaking to me or to the rest of us? But when I read the book, I straightaway had my questions answered in the introduction by the author, or should I say God’s co-author, Nathan French. Nathan addresses doubters upfront by saying:

Many people mock others who claim to hear God, and for just cause. They might have seen people walking down the street, talking to themselves as if they had lost their grip on reality. Many children are taught to avoid people who hear voices because those people are probably a bit “crazy in the head”. The Bible, however, tells us that we are meant to hear God, and if that is so and God does speak today, we could argue that we might be “crazy” not to hear him. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice and a stranger’s voice they will not follow” (John 10:4-5). If he is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8) that means he does not change, and if he does not change, it is time every one of us begins to learn how to hear him. Nathan goes on to explain how he began to hear God’s voice through journaling, simply by being quiet and listening for it. I don’t think there’s anything extraordinary in that (and perhaps, as Nathan says at the end of the book, it is natural to have a supernatural experience; after all, the great Victorian author Thomas Carlyle fervently believed in Natural Supernaturalism and I have long admired and adhered to his viewpoint). Yes, I think hearing God’s voice by listening to it is realistic and can be part of our everyday reality. I have not actually heard God’s voice out loud, but I have heard it in my heart, guiding me during times of greatest trial, telling me all is well and to stay on course. Perhaps, it’s my imagination and my experiences are not at all as in-depth as Nathan’s, but I am open to the possibilities he describes, and if anything, this book has encouraged me to want to spend more quiet time with God.

My initial mixed reaction and then resolution to this book is not unlike that of people who meet Nathan in person. In the book, Nathan presents the testimonies of a few others, including that of Ken Porter, who describes Nathan when they were on a mission to Mexico to build houses: “I had never me Nathan before this Tecate trip. At first, I didn’t know what to make of him, but the more time I spent around him – especially after I heard his testimony, the more I realized he was a great man of God!”

Readers may come away not fully believing everything in It’s NOT Meant to Be a Secret, but I hope they will be open to what it has to say. The words of God as presented in this book often do sound familiar and reminiscent of something in Isaiah or Jeremiah. The miracles that Nathan attributes as having happened through God asking him to seek out and pray with people may be hard to believe, but who is to say they are not possible? After all, why would there be miracles in biblical times and not today? While some of the book’s messages from God are directed specifically to Nathan, most are applicable to everyone, and several passages deeply resonated with me. If anything, I hope this book encourages people to spend more quiet time with God. I think that is what God and Nathan want, and I agree with the title that It’s NOT Meant to Be a Secret. A deep relationship with God is available to all of us. We just have to take the time to listen for His voice. Reading this book may be a good way for people to start. The book is broken into very short passages, so just a few could be read each day along with journaling to begin to listen. There are few more important things you could do with your time. - Tyler R.

“Rushing The Floodgates Of Heaven” Book Review:

October 6, 2018 Aviva Publishing review: New Book Shares One Pastor’s Unique and Personal Relationship with God.

In “Rushing the Floodgates of Heaven: For Those Who Are Thirsty!”, Nathan French, a pastor in Washington State, provides a special look at the personal conversations he’s had with God. French previously wrote “It’s NOT Meant to Be a Secret: God Wants to Talk to You” (see review below), in which he shared his dramatic story of drug use and a failed suicide attempt—failed because he believes God intervened to save him for better things. In Rushing the Floodgates of Heaven, Nathan shares with readers the personal journal entries he made between September 2011 and April 2012, picking up where his first book left off. In each entry, he records what he hears God telling him. These are not prophecies like those of Isaiah and Jeremiah, but more like friendly conversations, although the voice of the Old Testament God is heard clearly here as is the gentle voice of Jesus. Besides the words themselves, Nathan often has visions of Jesus doing simple things such as sitting beside him that reflect the personal closeness that God wishes to have with all of His children.
All the messages have daily themes or topics, and sometimes there are multiple ones per day. Topics discussed include how people treat Santa Claus compared to God, the importance of forgiveness of others, forgiveness of sins, the value of unity among Christians, guidance on how Nathan should serve as pastor, gossip, jealousy, obedience, and the need for people to return to the Lord. I love the passage about the importance of Unity among Christians when the Lord says: “Everyone has issues and hurts that need help. People need each other—the days of Lone-Ranger-Christianity are over. Unity requires more than one.”
In one passage, God calls Christians to repentance and self-examination:
“Too many Christians do not know how to do a proper self-check. The hurts of rejection, abandonment, and the fear of not measuring up or the haunting of past sins keep them from wanting to examine themselves. It is like having a room in your house that you put junk into—the more time that goes by, the more junk gets collected and the more you do not want to go in there. The bigger the mess, the more the torment and the less the peace.”
I am sure there will be skeptics out there, but that is why you need to read Rushing the Floodgates of Heaven for yourself. The Lord works in mysterious ways, so we never know how He will choose to speak to us. Perhaps He’s drawn your attention to Nathan’s book for a reason.

About Nathan’s church, The Rock Revival Center, God tells Nathan to explain to people when they ask what the church’s mission is: “We are a non-denominational Christian Church that is non-competing. We welcome people from all walks of faith with a focus on love and acceptance. Our vision is to unite the body of Christ. Testimony, prophesy, healing, and deliverance are a regular part of our ministry. Equipping the body of Christ in the fullness of God is our mission.” - Tyler R. Tichelaar, Ph.D.
