I am a Calvary Chapel pastor's wife, editor, speaker, and the author or co-writer of nine books, including
A Whisper in Winter: Stories of Hearing God's Voice in Every Season of Life (New Hope Publ.) and Inconceivable: Finding Peace in the Midst of Infertility (Cook Communications).
My monthly column can be found at
Christian Women Online.
Inconceivable:
Finding Peace in the Midst of Infertility
Book reviews. . .
"Shannon Woodward is a master storyteller! From the first word of Inconceivable, Shannon's warmth, humor and transparency drew me in. I have walked this same path and can honestly say that this book not only addresses the gut-wrenching emotions of infertility with rare integrity, but also offers fresh Biblical insight wrapped in a powerful story of God's grace and healing in the midst of great pain and deep loss. Inconceivable is a life-changing gift for every woman who deals with infertility. " --Mary Southerland, Founder/Director of Journey Ministry, Inc.
A Whisper in Winter
Book reviews. . .
"This book still whispers to me. It follows me and lingers like a fragrance ... a sweet, holy haunting." --Nancy Anderson
"I read A Whisper in Winter like I eat a bag of little Dove chocolates--slowly, savoring each bite. Each year, I read dozens of books, but it is rare that a book captures my heart in the way that this book did." --L. J. Seaborg
"I knew by the title and the forward that this was going to be a good book to read. What I didn't know is that it would open my mind and my heart and cause me to be more aware of God in my life ... He's been beside me whispering all along." --Nancy Henry

Oh boy, that made me cry. Thank you for posting this.
I always love to start my day with a good cry! Thank you, Shannon, for reminding me how patient and loving our Father toward us...even when we ask Him over and over and over again, "What is that??"...
In Jesus,
Pat
Very poignant yet when one is in the trenches, taking care of someone with dementia, it's difficult to practice patience..sad, but true. Even when we remember how patient God is with us. Sometimes life is simply overwhelming and at that moment in time, when we most need to go away to our secret place with the Lord, it's then we have to remain and tend to the care giving.
My heart goes out to those who are care givers; I've been there and know how hard is the job.
Shannon~
I love this. It sends a loud message for patience and love. It just reminds me of how precious people and time really are. You're an amazing lady. Megan Marysville
tears.. for the struggles we all face and need patience for, for a Father
while part of me was saddened by not having a relationship like this child and parent had,
the other was deeply grateful that my children have it with me .. I'd tell them it was a sparrow until the end of time and I pray they will do the same for me some day.
thank you for sharing
Oh, how this made me cry.
And convicted me to forgive my parents many wrongs because of the many acts of love they have shown throughout the years.
Let grace fly like that sparrow...
How appropriate that though I have not visited here for a while that today, on Father's Day I visit to view that video.
Yes, it brought tears to my eyes. But more importantly it reminded me that I must open my heart to my parents, even when they have closed theirs so tight.
Hugs and prayers.
Hello Shannon:
Been a long time.Thinking of you as I am perusing old blogger posts of mine.Hope all is well with you and yours.Love you~Sharon Goemaere
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I loved the way the son hugged his dad at the end. Powerful reminder of patience and love in our relationships.
