Most of the time life seems pretty ordinary. But into these normal, everyday moments God chooses to whisper His love and truth to us. In "The Sacred Echo" Margaret Feinberg shares what God showed her during times of prayer and ministry. These sacred echoes reveal the God who is as persistent to communicate with us, as we are with Him.

'Don't Listen For the Voice of God. Listen for His Echo.' When God really wants to get your attention, he doesn't just say something once. He echoes. He speaks through a Sunday sermon, a chance conversation with a friend the next day, even a random email. The same theme, idea, impression, or lesson will repeat itself in surprising and unexpected ways until you realize that maybe, just maybe, God is at work. According to author Margaret Feinberg, the repetitive nature of a sacred echo gives us confidence that God really is prompting, guiding, or leading. The sacred echo reminds us to pay close attention -- something important may be going on here. The sacred echo challenges us to prayerfully consider how God is at work in our life as well as in the lives of those around us. The sacred echo is an invitation to spiritual awakening. Margaret writes, 'I want a relationship with God where prayer is as natural as breathing. If God is the one in whom we are to live and move and have our being, then I want my every inhale infused with his presence, my every exhale an extension of his love.' If that's your desire too, let Sacred Echo be your guide to a deeper, more rewarding relationship with the God of the universe.

    Tell us a little about yourself.  A popular speaker at churches and leading conferences such as Fusion, Catalyst, and LeadNow, Margaret Feinberg invites people to discover the relevance of God and His Word in a modern world. Audiences love her ability to connect the practical with the spiritual. Recently named by Charisma magazine as one of the 30 Emerging Voices who will help lead the church in the next decade, she has written more than a dozen books including the critically-acclaimed The Organic God (Zondervan). While Twentysomething and What the Heck Am I Going to Do With My Life? have established her as an expert on reaching the next generation, people of all ages connect with her relational teaching style. Margaret currently lives in Morrison, Colorado, with her husband, Leif. When she's not writing or traveling, she enjoys anything outdoors, shopping, laughing and drinking skinny vanilla lattes with her friends. But she says some of her best moments are spent communicating with her readers.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  The very first book that I wrote was called God Whispers: Hearing the Voice of God. It looked at the story of Elijah and how when God speaks it's often through a whisper. But since then I've been growing in my relationship with God and discovering that when God speaks, he often echoes. He'll say the same thing through a chance conversation,a sermon, an email, a text message. The same thought or idea will follow us until we can't deny that sense that something, or rather someone, is trying to get our attention. The Sacred Echo is about recognizing the persistent voice of God in our lives so we can walk more fully and confidently into all that he has for us.
