“To Hear Your Voice” by Carol Kappes is a deeply moving book that invites readers into the intimate journey of recognizing and responding to God’s voice in daily life. The author unfolds a series of reflections and lessons drawn from their own spiritual walk. Each chapter highlights moments where listening to God’s direction led to clarity, comfort, or unexpected blessings. Through these stories, readers see that God’s voice often comes not in dramatic displays but in subtle impressions, timely words, and inner peace that affirms His will.
The book also emphasizes the challenges of discernment, acknowledging that life’s noise, doubt, and distractions can make it difficult to hear clearly. Yet, with persistence in prayer and trust in God’s promises, believers can attune their hearts to His leading. By the end, the book leaves readers with a renewed conviction that God is near, speaking, and ready to guide those who desire to follow Him wholeheartedly.
What makes “To Hear Your Voice” compelling is its heartfelt sincerity and spiritual depth. It does not present lofty theological arguments but instead offers something far more relatable: real-life stories of God’s presence and guidance. Readers who have ever longed for reassurance that God hears their prayers, or who have struggled to know if they are truly discerning His will, will find comfort and encouragement within these pages. The book’s blend of testimony and teaching makes it both inspiring and practical, a companion for anyone seeking to grow closer to God.
Ultimately, this reminds us that we are never alone—God is speaking, guiding, and loving us every step of the way.
