These days, bad news often outpaces the good. Problems outnumber solutions. You may turn and ask, "Where is God at a time like this?" Friend, he's right here. And he's whispering your name.
You really want to do what is right. But sometimes life turns south. You're anxious, you're busy, you're cautious because you've been hurt before--or maybe you're all of the above. But pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado is here to share some good news: in the Bible and in the circumstances of your life, God whispers your name lovingly, tenderly, patiently, and persistently.
Somewhere between the pages of this book and the pages of your heart, God is speaking. And he is calling you by name. Maybe that's hard to believe. Maybe you just can't imagine that the One who made it all thinks of you that personally--that he keeps your name on his heart and lips.
In When God Whispers Your Name, Max will help you:
Each copy of When God Whispers Your Name also includes a discussion guide designed to let you dive deeper into the timeless scripture that underlies each of these lessons of hope, encouragement, and redemption.
Max knows that we all need a reminder every now and then--not a sermon, but a simple reminder that God knows our names. Today, listen carefully. Hear that? God is whispering your name.

" Really nice, encouraging book. Recommended for anyone who needs the spiritual equivalent of a cup of tea. Which is everyone, really. "
— Diminutive-fox, 2/18/2014" I haven't read anything by Max Lucado in years, and I had a hard time getting into this. He has so many good things to say, and I think his teaching is solid, but his writing is a little choppy for me. I imagine he's a good speaker, because he gets to the point quickly and uses lots of illustrations. Just not my style of literature. "

— Andrea, 2/6/2014" My first experience with Max Lucado and he is a wonderful writer. He uses everyday language and relates to God through a personal relationship rather than speaking wholey on theology. I would love to hear him give a sermon one day! "

— Hazel, 1/11/2014" While there are some great chapters in this book, unfortunately many of Lucado's books seem to be a mix and match of his previous work. I also felt some of his commentary was a bit of a stretch to make a point. "

— Christosopher, 11/3/2013" I loved this book because of Max's simple, sown-to -earth writing style, as well as the subject matter .. there is always hope, and it's never too late. You will never outrun/outsin/outignore the love of God. Some chapters I read at least twice to absorb everything. "
