Heart Whispers offers accessible insights from Benedictine spirituality to help us explore the need for faithful living in today's often stress-filled world. By listening with "the ear of the heart," the sixth-century monk Benedict gained a fresh perspective on Christian spirituality as he lived by three simple vows: stability, obedience, and conversion. A Leader's Guide is also available for those who wish to study Heart Whispers in groups.

Marc, from the United States, meets and falls for Amala from India. Each is powerfully attracted to the other, but can their differences be merged into strengths through commitment to each other and to shared Christian values? Can parents change their feelings and views of the world to support them? Is it possible that a happy family can be created by two individuals from such diversity? The story takes Marc and Amala through an emotional roller coaster as they consider their choices and the consequences of what friends and family see as a forbidden romance which can only end in pain.

Heartfelt stories of everyday people that inspire us to challenge life's peaks and pitfalls-and begin our own journeys of spiritual and personal growth.

Rao, a physician in the Indian Army, a branch of the British Army fighting for the Allies in World War II, left his home for the war front. On his departure, his wife Susila, with their two children returned to her maternal home in Madras to live out the years of suspense, threats of bombing and constant fear for his safety. Within six months, he became a prisoner of the Japanese at the infamous Changi Prison. What will their life be like, if he does not return? This memoir is a tribute to the nameless women who endured uncertainty and fear with unwavering love; the story of the woman behind every soldier.
