Trust the Whisper is a unique book, and I am so glad I was able to read this! I have been having God whispers, and I am not the only one. The whispers in this book often revolved around helping people needing homes, and there were quite a few others that were mentioned, like the linking of mothers whose young sons were suffering from a rare and misunderstood disorder. Skeptics might think these are strange coincidences, but there is an underlying "web" of purposefulness. God does speak to us if we choose to listen. Retelling these stories makes these God whispers complete. One part of the book describes the death of someone who had really made a difference. In his memory, his friends were asked to commit to spreading love, joy and kindness for a certain number of days, around 2 months. This is something to remember! A hint about whether something is a whisper is "that little voice inside you telling you to do something that feels inconvenient, unexpected and uncomfortable." We can trust the Whisperer!
I appreciate being able to read this book, compliments of the publishers. The opinions expressed are my own.

How do you know when God is speaking to you? How can you be sure that your purpose and path are the right ones? That you are being guided and led?

I liked the stories of how God has spoken to others. It gave me ideas of ways God has whispered to me in the past and brought life and light to my journey. It's a tale of progress in the faith, of understanding how ordinary life unfolds day to day. Sometimes we see the steps we are taking. Other times, we look back in wonder at how far we've come.

If you aren't certain that God is a speaking and interacting One, if you think God is far away and uninterested in you, read this book. It will help you look at the voice and the voices around you - how the Living Word is present in and through you.

Netgalley and Baker Books have provided me with a copy of Trust the Whisper for review:


Do you ever feel as if meeting God in the afterlife is easier than feeling God at work in this life, with the chores, schedules, messes, and unrealized dreams? God is working every day of our lives, but we dismiss this work as coincidence or chance because it is quieter than we expect. Wouldn't it be great if we could clearly understand those divine whispers? Could listening to them be the beginning of living out our truest story and purpose?



Throughout her book, Kathy Izard shares compelling true stories that help you connect the "God Dots" in your life. Sharing her own and others' experiences of moving from doubt to certainty about the divine presence in the world, Kathy offers you the courage to recognize God's guidance in your own life. By asking the right questions, trusting your intuition, being powerfully present, embracing the unexpected, and believing in the dreams God is gently urging you to pursue, she helps you ask the right questions, trust your deepest intuition, and be powerfully present.


I give Trust the Whisper five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

Actually, it is really easier for me to believe we will meet God in the afterlife than it is to feel God at work in this life because this life has brought so many fails and discouragement to me. But, this book reminds me that God works also in my life, in a quieter way.

4 stars

This is an absolutely inspiring book about how God touches lives and interconnects people in amazing ways. Kathy Izard has shared a number of stories of people listening to the whispers of God to go on an make impacts in their lives and those of the people who are helped by the very programs or people those whispers inspired.
This book would make for an excellent Bible study or small group. It would be amazing to see the whispers be applied and God's hand at work.
I highly recommend this book. Trust The Whisper would make a fabulous gift for anyone. I had not heard of Kathy Izard prior to the book, but I have already bought her other book, the 100 Story Home.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley.

Trust the Whisper by Kathy Izard show the wonderful God-planned results if we only listen to those whispers that He sends to us. It is not by our power, but by His, that those mentioned in this book were able to achieve such works for His Glory. That chance meeting with a stranger, your seat mate on a plane, a misplaced book, a positive response to a misunderstood message. It is amazing the many ways will get our attention.
Releases June 11th. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

In TRUST THE WHISPER Kathy Izard tells stories of the miracles happening every day when we listen to God speaking to us. When we are still and listen to the little voice telling us to do or not do things, miracles occur all around us.
She shows us how the choices we make in our lives not only affect us but also the world around us. It isn't always easy, but the benefits are there even if we don't immediately see the results.

It is refreshing and inspiring to read books that is in line with my faith. Trust the Whisper captures the essence of taking the leap of faith and trusting God to carry out His will. The book is an easily digestible read and the flow of the writing is effortless, it kept me glued to the page. The people Kathy Izard has met and their stories were truly inspiring and that you would think this only happens in movies. But small miracles are around us everyday and we must be attuned to it. Thank you so much Netgalley and Baker Books for the chance to read this in advance
