What should a believer do when a dream feels too weighty to dismiss?

When God Speaks in the Night is a Christian book about dreams, biblical discernment, and hearing God with reverence. David S. Webb teaches that the night is not empty. God still knows how to speak when the noise of the day grows quiet.

This book does not treat dreams as entertainment, superstition, or spiritual spectacle. Instead, it calls believers back to Scripture, prayer, testing, and obedience.

Drawing from Job 33, Acts 2, Genesis, Daniel, Matthew, and the writings of Paul, Webb shows how dreams can bring warning, correction, comfort, conviction, calling, restoration, and holy invitation. At the same time, he makes one thing clear: every dream must be weighed by Scripture and submitted to the authority of Jesus Christ.

Readers will learn how to:

record dreams before the details fade
test dreams by Scripture
recognize repeated patterns and symbols
understand why dream context matters
avoid careless dismissal
avoid fear, superstition, and unstable obsession
respond with humility and obedience

When God Speaks in the Night presents dream life as part of Christian discipleship. Dreams do not replace Scripture. They do not remove the need for wisdom. They do not excuse spiritual disorder. But they may be one way God awakens the inward man, exposes hidden places, restores spiritual perspective, and calls His people higher.

This book also includes practical appendices, a glossary, a thematic word index, and a Scripture index. These tools help readers record, test, and steward dreams with greater care.

For every reader who has awakened from a dream and wondered, “Was God speaking?” this book offers a sober path forward:

Write it down. Test it by Scripture. Seek the Lord. Discern the Spirit. Obey what the King reveals.

This book is especially useful for pastors, intercessors, prophetic believers, ministry leaders, and serious students of Scripture who want to honor supernatural communication without drifting into disorder, formula-based interpretation, or fear.
