"God Speaks is a passion shared for everyone to hear God's voice."
CARMEN FRANKLIN
ABOUT THE BOOK
How hearing from God will help you in all your circumstances.
Carmen's decision to share her conversations with God in a book allows you to learn how simple it is to hear his voice. This is not a theology textbook. It is the warm, honest record of a woman who learned to listen.
The book reveals what God's voice sounds like, how to be in the right place to hear it, and — in moments — how to halt the busy life that keeps drowning out his desires for you.
Read or listen, and learn that you have the power to know your Creator and live the lighter, more purposeful life He made for you.

CHAPTER
GOD SPEAKS IN UNUSUAL PLACES
A swing, a rock, and a question that wouldn't leave.
"I wondered about the person who placed the swing on this rock for people to enjoy. What made them think about such a delightful gift? What and who was their inspiration?"
The book is full of small, lit moments like this, invitations to notice that the Creator is already speaking, in places far gentler than we expect.

ONE OF GOD'S MESSAGES FOR YOU
When I speak,
if only you would listen.
I speak freely and frequently.
My words will save you worry.
I speak to caution and chastise if only you would seek help.
I speak in support of you, but you seek other things that can't help you.
I speak to shape and mould you continuously. You are more than you will ever know.
I speak to comfort and restore you take hold of my mighty hand.
I will keep speaking, and one day you will listen.

VOICES FROM THE JOURNEY
How It Has Spoken to Others
This book is a beautiful expression of Carmen's own relationship with God, and a reminder of how personally He relates to each of us. It reminded me that He is always near, patiently waiting for His children to return to Him.
TESSA
Carmen told me to be still and let God answer. Later that night, in the stillness, I heard Him for the first time. We must hold the silence to let God respond, sometimes straight away, sometimes through something entirely unexpected, but you recognise it's Him.
