Foreword

A word before the journey begins

Whispers in The Pew is a devotional like no other. It is not bound by religion or doctrine but is instead an offering of love to the True and Living God, flowing from the hearts of His devoted servants.

Among them is Bradley, a passionate servant who has chosen to put into writing the voice stirring within his heart. Out of a journey marked by longing, loving, searching, and teaching, these devotions were born. They reach the core of human experience, helping us recognize and understand those same deep feelings within ourselves.

Absorb these devotions into your heart. Allow them to move you, to change you, and to lift you to new places in your walk with God. Perhaps they will remind you of a time when you once felt close to Him but drifted away. Let these words call you back to your first love.

I know Bradley’s intention is to help guide you along the path of Christian growth. He felt led by the Holy Spirit to write and share these reflections. Every word has been prayed over with the hope that it will stir something eternal within you. Expect to weep tears of joy, of sorrow, and of release as you move through each devotion and story, because they will draw you nearer to the Lord.

May these writings bless you as richly as they have blessed me.
