This book is about one thing, and that is to bring people all over the world closer to God. It is about being able to hear and apply what God is saying to us as a people. It is about what God is saying and not me, the Author. It is intended to help motivate and inspire the unbeliever to become a believer and a servant of the most high God and to bring the believer even closer to God. In this book I use personal experiences to illustrate that no matter what people may be going through or what they have done, God is still in the delivering business. It is all about praising and giving God the glory in spite of how your situation may look. It is about praising your way out of your storm rather than walking through the storm with your head held down. This book is all about our father, our creator, our healer, our deliverer, and our Savior Jesus Christ.

In God Doesn't Whisper, Pastor Jim Osman examines the assumptions, practices, and Scriptural citations of those who promote Hearing the Voice of God theology. This book provides a thorough examination of the Scriptures often used to promote the practice of listening for the voice of God. What is the still small voice? Does God speak through signs? What about open doors, dreams, and "feeling led"? What is the biblical model for decision-making? Scripture is clear: God Doesn't Whisper.

Shhhhhhhh! is the gripping tale of the struggles faced by Wynona Wyatt, a young African American girl growing up in the boondocks of New Orleans. Faced with a mother who wanted nothing to do with children, a sexually abusive ‘uncle’, the lies and deceit throughout her mother’s family, and the loss of her father early in her life, Wynona learns to depend on herself and God in place of her family. Wynona Wyatt is the youngest child of Lemora and Woody, a timid girl who finds herself imbedded in the secrets of her mother’s past. She is reminded constantly as she grows that she was never wanted by her mother, a memory which haunts the girl through her womanhood. Wynona witnesses her mother’s tirades against her father on a daily basis, and though she proves herself intelligent and capable, she still holds on to the dagger wounds from her mother. Lemora Cavanaugh had chosen, after her childhood was full of raising her mother’s children, she wanted nothing to do with children, not even her own. Her tough-as-nails life had crushed all of her dreams and desires, leaving only the secret that carried through her family for two generations – maintain the façade of regality, no matter what. She disguises her own abuse through the caring of her siblings, adding an extra son to the Cavanaugh clan. It isn’t until she meets Woody Wyatt that she attempts, and fails, to express the more tender emotions of desire. Though her mother shovels nothing but darkness and mistrust at the girl, Wynona is shown the way to a happy heart by her father, Woody. Woody teaches Wynona the core values of kindness, patience, and looking for the beauty in the minutest things. Together, Woody and Wynona explore similar interests and find a mutual love in music. Woody Wyatt is the strong, caring father who tries to show Lemora how to love life instead of filling it with dread and distrust. His love for Lemora and their children is the key that keeps Wynona struggling to overcome her mother’s demons. He shows patience and kindness where Lemora denies the family the love and respect desired by the kids. His untimely death, however, hefts more weight on his little girl’s shoulders. For the first time in her young life, Wynona loses the music that filled her heart and lifted her spirits. After the loss of her father and best friend, Wynona feels the pangs of terror stronger than ever. No longer does she have at her disposal any form of trust, love, or security. Yet, through it all, Wynona finds within herself the courage and strength to carry on. Whereas Wynona turns to her father and his love for music to escape her tortured existence before his death, her older brother, Winston, being physically and emotionally abused himself turns to drugs as a means of blocking out the truth which eventually leads Winston to a destructive death. He leaves behind a legacy of his own secrets. Bringing more drama to the family’s life, Lemora’s ‘brother’ Lamar moves in with them almost on a permanent basis. Lamar becomes an even bigger nightmare to Wynona and her brother Winston, finding ways to verbally, physically and sexually abuse both children in the house which was to be the safe haven provided by Woody. It is only after Lamar’s funeral that Wynona learns the truth about Lamar’s birth-mother – the same woman who gave birth to her brother and her. Wynona witnesses and experiences these tribulations, but instead of letting them bring her to the depths of despair, she pulls herself through by following her heart, her father’s wisdom, and God’s grace. She meets and falls in love with Rory, the handsome, strong, sensitive man who becomes her saving grace. The love affair lasts through some difficulties: an unplanned pregnancy lost to miscarriage, the mistrust of Wynona's mother, and Wynona's secretive past abuse, but Wynona is determined to make it work. Eventually, the two marry, and are blessed with a beautiful baby boy they name Chauncey. But, as
