ONE WHISPER FROM THE LORD CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING... Thirteen years ago, Jesus asked me, "Are you willing to give up everything to follow Me?" After years of hesitation, I finally answered yes. It wasn't the moment I gave my life to Christ for salvation, but it was the moment I gave my life in sacrifice. Whispers from God are the stories of what began happening to me the moment, I believe, the Lord knew I was serious about saying yes. The kind of serious that means living life on my knees at the foot of the cross. One thing I have learned on this journey is that truly following Jesus isn't for the faint of heart. But it is for those who long to give all of their heart and it is absolutely worth it. From the uncomfortable to the unexpected, these are some of the stories throughout my life, of times the Lord whispered to me...stories of learning and understanding how to function in the prophetic and what it means to continually seek His face, sit in His presence, hear His voice and act on it. My instructions from the Lord have been to "go light your world" and these are some of the ways I believe He's asked me to do it. My prayer is that He speaks to your heart through the stories that have deeply impacted my life and they begin for you, a journey of seeking the Lord--listening earnestly for the quiet whispers of His voice. He's waiting...are you listening? And so, here is my heart... 1

People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya—but neither wants to be. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds—and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine.
