Silent Echoes by Ruth Callahan

This Book has been life/heart changing!! I have been a Christian most of My life(I am 68 yrs old) I ordered to learn differently to pray for a few "Prodigal's" in My life, and this book has given Me a whole new deeper Good's thots, ways! The "Surprise" was where it was shared about being a part of a Church/ Women's Ministries and then being dismissed with no explanation, no calls to talk about whatever was going on! For 10 years I truly thought I was the only one! I LOVE that this book is actually MANY women sharing!. .I new realize its God calling ME to a deeper experience with Him in many ways, I am being reassigned. I didn't really know this till I started this book!! Thank You!!!

I’m taking it slow and half way through. It’s speaking hope to the parts of my heart that grew faint years ago and begged to be left alone as despair grew. The tying together of life’s disappointments and transitions validated the voices I’ve tried to silence, the ones that wanted me to believe this was a “me” problem. I’m encouraged to hear this is a common problem at this stretch and stage of a woman’s journey. Thank you for the words to hush those whispers in night.

I have only just begun to read the book. I didn’t open the digital copy. I waited till the hardcopy arrived. I wanted to hold it in my hand. And while I am only a few pages in, it has already begun to stir my heart and minister to me specifically an intentionally I believe by the spirit of God for such a time is this as my soul has been the wariest it has ever been. I am so grateful to hold this book in my hand, to read its words, and, to allow the Holy Spirit to speak life into my life through it pages.
