Description
Book SynopsisWhispers of Hope is unique. It does not explain how to adopt a child, nor does it provide a comprehensive method for rearing an adopted child. Instead, this book offers something desperately needed in the adoption community: Hope for adoptive parents who are struggling more than they ever thought possible.
Whispers of Hope gives encouragement, new perspective, and hope through Jesus Christ to the adoptive parents who feel like they are drowning and needing a life-line.
Trade ReviewHere is a first-hand account of an adoption by a family within our congregation. What you'll read is an honest, engaging and spiritually enriching story: not only is this book insightful, it reads like an adventure novel! I was personally encouraged and challenged throughout the process as the Miles Family pursued and adopted Carl. For all who seek insight into the journey of adoption, I strongly and enthusiastically recommend this book. Come be refreshed by its spiritual wisdom and genuine transparency! You'll be glad you did.

Twila's unique insight into the older child adoption journey and her application of scripture is an invaluable gift. In telling her story, Twila comes alongside others in their own stories, asking good and necessary questions that keep us seeking God's face at every turn.
-- Christa Wells (Singer/Songwriter, Raleigh, North Carolina)
This is a compelling story, but it is so much more because Twila skillfully tells it in the context of the Redemption Story ... This is storytelling at its finest.

... writes with great honesty and vulnerability. The result? A captivating account that magnifies God's grace and teaches all of us the necessity of learning to trust the Lord again and again.

... like sitting with a friend who shared her story with humility, transparency and realistic truth. I could relate with her on so many levels. This book comes alongside the reader to encourage perseverance, and to dig deep into God's word as the true source of strength, wisdom, perseverance and HOPE! I highly recommend this to everyone.
