In And I Heard God Whisper, “I’m Still Here,” the author leads readers through an intimate and universal series of devotionals designed to encourage and inspire amid life’s hardest trials. Presented with personal anecdotes and real-life applications, each entry takes an honest look at one passage in the Bible-from Eve’s temptation, to Job’s many hardships, to Noah’s faith in the face of ridicule, and asks the reader to consider how our lives are reflected in these stories. Through these devotionals, the author hopes that believers and nonbelievers alike will find assurances that even when all seems lost, God was and is there by our side.
