  • devotional encounter.

"Linda, I know you won't remember me, but my daughter was killed by Mayfield Sherman."
Christian reporter Linda Radcliffe felt like someone kicked her in the gut. Mayfield Sherman? Lord! That monster was put to death several years ago, but not before he killed several women. He'd made a stop in Oklahoma, right on Linda's reporting beat. But she'd left, and Sherman was a big part of the reason. She had read the police files. She had seen the photos. Twenty years later, she's back to help a family she once covered. When she meets her old colleague, now the editor of the town paper, feelings once dampened begin to rise again.



Song lyrics are poems at heart. Words that come from a deep discovery of the love of God. These poems are song lyrics – some realized, some needing music – that Yvette wrote at the same time as the devotional, Whispering in His Ear, came to life.

We talk to God. Sometimes. But we really don't expect a response. Neither do we look for him in everyday situations. Yvette does, and she tells of her simple but poignant life lessons with God in these lyrics!

Yvette Walker's testimony drives this book of poetry: that you can be a believer all your life without fully understanding the joy that comes from the Father is the very joy that completes you.

Yvette says, "I hope you enjoy these 12 faith-filled poems from my heart, written by the Holy Spirit."

Do You Need Inspiration to Create New Habits and Stay the Course?

Rose Ann Forte was a successful C-Suite executive and leader in the church, a working mom of four, and a social drinker. Over the years, life’s stresses and a difficult marriage created an environment where her alcohol usage increased significantly. After the collapse of her marriage, her drinking further escalated and she felt like a fraud. She was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and asked God to take her off this earth.

Do You Need Inspiration to Create New Habits and Stay the Course?


AA was not an option in her mind. She had already submitted to God and didn’t want to call herself an alcoholic. When COVID-19 hit, she enrolled in a coaching program to put alcohol to the side for three months. Her experience was extremely transformational, and she recognized God’s instruction embedded in the entire process. She became free of the psychological slavery of this habit through this process. She identified what alcohol had stolen from her life and understood that God had a better plan for her. 

Please share her interview with anyone who is struggling or has a family member who is struggling with addiction.

Rose Ann felt called to document what she learned with a daily devotional so others could experience God’s promises through scriptural instruction with hope and a better plan for the future. Rose Ann is an Alcohol-Free Coach, a Positive Intelligence Coach, and an international-selling author of a book called The Plans He Has For Me, A 12-week Daily Devotional for Freedom.

Rose Ann recently developed the Choose Freedom Course that teaches the 12 most important biblically based and scientifically proven methods for renewing your mind as it relates to alcohol or other toxic substances.

During her interview, she explains the difference between this approach and the 12-step approach that is predominantly used today.
