Short summary

What's it about?

Listening for God dismantles the false divide between sacred and profane, revealing how the divine speaks through our messiest, most broken moments. Editors Paula J. Carlson and Peter S. Hawkins curate contemporary literature that finds grace in family conflict, racial trauma, physical scars, and moral failure. These stories prove that spiritual hearing begins not in pious silence, but in honest struggle—when our carefully constructed lives fall apart and we finally stop talking long enough to listen.
