The Listener
By Terri Blackstock*

"What if you could hear what God hears?"
This is a fictional story of a man who woke up one morning with the ability to hear the longings of people's hearts. He was quite frightened by this and thought he was going crazy - as did several other people! But eventually he began to really listen and try to help others by sharing Christ with them.
This is a totally made-up story, but it impressed me with the reality that there is a lot more going on inside someone that we can't tell from the outside. Someone might look like they have it all together and are doing well, but be quite lonely inside, or in despair.
Go HERE to find this book. :)
*(I really like this book but I don't know what her other books are like, so this is not a wholesale endorsement of Terri Blackstock as an author!)
