"Who Speaks to Your Heart? Tuning in to Hear God's Whispers," by Stacy Hawkins Adams
"I wrestled with whether a God that I couldn't see or touch would be
willing to single me out from the millions of other people who wanted
love, attention and help." To women all over the country, from all walks of life, this uncomfortable uncertainty is all too familiar. Now--for inspiration, for affirmation, for a divine connection--women have a new place to turn ... to this authentic look at what it takes to pursue God with abandon, by acclaimed author Stacy Hawkins Adams.
Offering insight, inspiration, and practical ideas on how to connect more often and more deeply with God, Adams helps give women the courage to go deeper and grow deeper in God's word to hear Him more clearly.
Women young and old will be empowered and renewed by Adams's reminder that--regardless of the labels placed on them by society, their family, their friends, and even themselves--their best and most important title is the one given by God ... chosen vessel.
