Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships, both with God and with other people. But it is more than that: listening is a way of life. Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality, our relationships and our mission. Heed the call to the listening life, and hear what God is doing in you and the world.

God speaks to us in different ways, even in the midst of a chaotic world when it seems as if the voice of troubles drown out that still small voice that whispers "I am the Lord, I see and I care." God speaks in many different ways, through songs, his word, sermons and even through nature itself. At some point in life, we may feel uncertain as to which directions or paths we should follow, but Psalms 63 states, "early will I seek thee" so put God first before we begin our busy day and listen to what he has to say. I pray that these words of inspirations will strengthen your dedication to trust Our Heavenly Father in every situation.

Children often begin their faith journey with basic but big questions like How does God speak to me? This charming picture book from the best-selling author of Whisper and his daughter provides a fun and clever answer! God Speaks in Whispers helps even the youngest readers look for God's voice in the universe: in creation, as he speaks through his followers, and in the Bible as he speaks through his Word. With a charming rhyme pattern and vivid pictures, Mark and Summer Batterson invite little ones to imagine how God might be showing them love every day, by leaning in close to hear God's whisper.
