Thomas Nelson (July 13, 2010)

After years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying. It was awkward at first, but her journaling grew from monologue to dialogue. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure. Now available in this keepsake leather deluxe edition!
