I have a new release! -- God is With Us-how we Hear Him

 




For my husband and co-author, Trent and I, writing this book, was an experience in Hearing Him—from the time the first idea entered our minds, to multiple spiritual impressions on how to proceed, what to include, who to ask to contribute, and how to put it all together until we typed the final sentence—He led us along. Our hearts are drawn out in humbleness and gratitude for His guiding hand in our daily lives, and this chance through the written word to publicly say, "God is With Us." It is our prayer that through sharing, we will all Hear Him more clearly and more often

Back Cover Description:

None of us are alone. God does not stand on a mountaintop and look
down in silence. He is constantly at work in the valleys of our lives,
providing us comfort and guidance as His plan unfolds. This He
proclaimed in Hebrews 13:5: "I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee."

Through years of attending Sunday Meetings and counsel given from
General Authorities, we are continuously taught that we can find God
through the scriptures and Church ordinances. However, these represent
only a small portion of the presence our Father in Heaven, and His
Son, Jesus Christ have in our lives.

In this powerful collection of true stories filled with personal and
vulnerable moments, you are invited to Hear Him by looking through the
windows of others' experiences. With these modern Saints' inspiring
testimonies, discover the many ways you can recognize and welcome
God's infinite light into your daily life:

  • Hear His voice in music, in nature, in your dreams, and the prayers of others.
  • Feel His healing warmth during abuse, mental illness, addiction, loss, and heartache.
  • Witness His Grace through the Holy Spirit, in holy places, and during acts of service.


Praise for God Is With Us-how we Hear Him:

“Never has the world needed to ‘Hear Him’ more than right now. This beautiful book and its powerful stories arrived at the perfect time in my life — and perhaps in yours.”

-Jason F. Wright, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author

“If you are struggling to find answers, overcome a difficult problem, or seeking relief in a heartbreaking world, this is a balm in Gilead. When your burdens seems heavy and solutions seem few, God is With Us-how we Hear Him, will lift you up—turning your heart to the Master Healer, from whom all grace flows. Open these pages and find in it the peace you seek.”

-Angela Eschler, editor, entrepreneur, and author of women’s inspirational nonfiction

“Real, personal, and powerful. The prophet has asked us to better Hear Him, and this book shares in-the-trenches ways to make it happen. Poignant stories and real-time triumphs inspire the desire to make Hearing Him a priority anytime, anywhere, in any situation.” 

-Connie Sokol, Disciple Thought Leaders, Bestselling author, speaker, TV contributor

“What a beautiful book full of faith-inspiring stories! Rather than delve into the doctrinal details of what it means to ‘Hear Him,’ the Heppler’s teach in the way most people learn best—through stories. And what a collection they’ve compiled! From both men and women, the young and the old, these experiences wonderfully illuminate what it’s like to receive personal revelation in real-life scenarios. Whether you’re facing simple trials or a devastating tragedy—or just want to hear God’s voice better—you’ll find plenty in this book to help you in your lifelong quest to “Hear Him.’”

-Liz Kazandzhy, author of  The Holy Ghost from A to Z: What the Spirit Can Do for You

Trade Your Anxieties for God's Peace


More than 24 years ago, Pam and her husband Bob were serving as missionaries to the Philippines, and praying for a fifth child.

Pam contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in contaminated food or drink. She went into a coma and was treated with strong antibiotics before they discovered she was pregnant.

Doctors urged her to abort the baby for her own safety, and told her the medicines had caused irreversible damage to the fetus.She refused the abortion, and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her baby would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted. Pam said the doctors didn't think of it as a life, they thought of the child growing inside her as a mass of fetal tissue.

While pregnant, Pam nearly lost the baby four times, but refused to
consider abortion. She recalled making a pledge to God with her husband:
If you will give us a son, we'll name him Timothy, and we'll make him a
preacher of your word.

Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed, and
eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy August 14, 1987. Pam's
youngest son is indeed a preacher. He preaches in prisons, makes hospital
visits, and serves with his father's ministry in the Philippines. He also
plays football......... Pam's son is Tim Tebow.

The University of Florida's star quarterback became the first sophomore history to win college football's highest award, the Heisman Trophy. His current role as quarterback of the Denver Broncos has provided an incredible platform for Christian witness.

Pam said,
“We taught our children from a young age that in everything, you give thanks to the Lord. There's something supernatural that takes place when you trade your anxieties for God's peace.”
