This Voice Has an Echo

What does it mean to hear God speak?

The prophets of the Old Testament faced burning bushes, bloody altars, deceitful kings, split seas, and generals determined to get their own way. They lived in wartime, peacetime, deserts, and walled cities. They heard animals talk. They faced off warlords. They hid in caves and wept. But through all of it, they lived in a visceral, spiritual time, responding to God and the people, both. Profoundly flawed and never ordinary, the prophets of the Old Testament speak throughout Scripture words of truth that challenge power.

Reimagining power-house Old Testament prophets, This Voice Has an Echo takes men and women of God in their contexts and out of them, weaving poetry that explores a prophet’s role. From a Miss Universe contest to a therapist’s office to the deserts of Israel, prophecy is often tricky and double-edged. These speakers for God-whether they’re a veteran suffering from night terrors or an artist getting a painting right-prophesy with a voice that echoes and echoes and echoes.
