Lillie Rhodes Manley writes about her walk with the Lord before and after her beloved husband, Jerry, died in her inspiring, faith filled, and encouraging book, "Sweet Whispers of Hope." She writes from a lifetime of trusting in the Lord. Lillie was brought up in a Christian home by parents who taught her to trust in the Lord and that heaven is a wonderful place. When she was eight years old, she trusted the Lord Jesus Christ to be her Savior and has found Him faithful to His word throughout her life. No matter what the trial the Lord was always there for her.

Both Lillie and her husband, Jerry, loved the Lord. It was their love for one another and for the Lord that sustained them through Jerry's many years of illness and death. From the doctor's point of view, there were several times that it looked as though Jerry wouldn't make it, but he did. It was Jerry and Lillie's hope in the Lord that carried them through one crisis after another.

The book reveals genuine faith that can only emerge in times of extreme testing. Both Jerry and Lillie's faith was tested and found to be genuine. That faith is more valuable than pure gold that has been put through the refining fire. Through reading and studying the Bible, Lillie discovered that love lasts forever. Death doesn't break that bond.
Lillie's book, "Sweet Whispers of Hope," will inspire and encourage anyone who reads it but especially husbands and wives who are going through times of sickness or death of a spouse will greatly benefit from reading it. I greatly appreciated Lillie's childlike faith in God's word and her heavenly Father.

In the second part of the book, Lillie includes many Scripture verses that offer hope to all of us no matter what the trial may be. Buy a copy of the book and be blessed as I was when I read it.

This book is wonderful for encouraging, comforting, and inspiring the hurting heart. I loved the way Lillie Manley spoke to hearts that are broken with pain and loss and empathizes with her reader by recalling the personal experience of losing her husband. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has suffered a personal loss. It helps the process of healing to know that God hears and answers our prayers, and that He is close no matter what we're going through.
