"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 Know How to Unlock Hope When Life Seems Hopeless?

Murphys Don't Quit

Colleen Murphy is a wife, mother of seven, author, and public speaker. 

Tragedy struck Colleen’s family when her second oldest daughter, Lauren, was hit by a car and suffered severe brain damage. Colleen’s main focus became helping piece Lauren back together again. With the help of specialists from all over the country, her family and friends, as well as her strong faith, she was able to do just that. 


Do You Know How to Unlock Hope When Life Seems Hopeless?

Today, Colleen and Lauren speak together as a team, inspiring thousands of people by sharing the details of Lauren’s tragic accident, never-give-up attitude, and miraculous recovery.

Colleen shares this raw, incredible story in her interview and how to unlock hope -- when life seems hopeless:


"There are several low points in the book but one that stands out was when Lauren was an inpatient at RIC and they sent her to Northwestern Hospital for a CT scan, the nurse at RIC did not stay with her.

Lauren was still medically fragile, and I was inept at caring for her. She had C-diff and I had to try and clean her without help. Once I finished, she began vomiting and I had to launch myself across the metal bars of the bed to try and hold her head up, so she didn’t choke. I was soaked in vomit and scared. A while later the doctor finally came in to give me the findings of the CT scans and to let me know that Lauren would need a fourth brain surgery.

Suddenly the fact that I was soaked with vomit through my bra, was freezing, and had a bag full of diarrhea-covered clothes seemed rather insignificant."
