What impact could a whisper hold? Do we dare listen to this whisper we’re hearing? My friend, Kathy Izard, admits, “I worried that listening might mean making a huge mistake by veering off my carefully constructed life plan. It turned out, however, that listening would not be a detour but rather my destiny.”

Today, we are practicing engaging our sense of hearing to hear God in the quiet but insistent whispers and tugs on our hearts. If you caught my 12 Books of 2025 Recommendation, you may be just as excited as I am today to get to hear from my friend and author of The Hundred Story Home and Trust the Whisper - Kathy Izard.

Kathy Izard is an award-winning author and speaker who helped bring transformation to Charlotte in homelessness, housing and mental health. Her first of five books, The Hundred Story Home, received a Christopher Award for outstanding inspirational nonfiction. In Trust the Whisper, Kathy shares compelling true stories of twenty people who listened to their “whispers” and the extraordinary events that followed. Kathy inspires people to be change-makers in their communities.
