Whispering in His Ear by Yvette Walker is a book about having conversations with God. The book is divided into chapters that the author calls ‘conversations.’ Yvette Walker uses each chapter to focus on helping the reader develop their ability to hear and converse with God. The author does this through various devices such as her testimony, Bible verses, and exercises. In addition, Yvette Walker includes three different translations of many Bible verses, one of those translations being in Spanish. This helps the reader delve deeper into the Bible verse and understand the topic addressed in each chapter even more. 

Each chapter includes a prayer. The prayers are honest and succinct yet layered, allowing readers to develop a deeper prayer life. Each prayer is followed by an exercise. This helps the reader by allowing them to put the information gained from the chapter into practice. The activities in the book vary, and some include tasks that will involve the reader’s senses. Yvette Walker’s journalistic background and explicit theological knowledge are captured in her writing as she intertwines prayer, the exercises, and her personal testimony well.

One of the most inspirational parts of the text is when she discusses losing her joy while carrying out volunteer work. This occurrence inspired her to take her volunteer work to a new level. At this point in the book, the author asks the reader a series of rhetorical questions to get the reader to think about a time when they had been in a similar position. This section wisely deals with this topic, helping the reader to reflect without feeling judged. The author also includes an honest account of her feelings when the first COVID-19 lockdown happened. Finally, she uses the event to discuss Psalm 91. She delves into what the psalm meant in the heat of the pandemic and what the psalm still means today.

I recommend Whispering in His Ear by Yvette Walker to anyone who wants to deepen their prayer life. The author includes helpful content for the reader, fascinating analogies to help the reader understand more about their walk with Jesus, and honest testimonial stories.
