Christian music icon and forty-time Dove award winner Sandi Patty has long astounded listeners with her powerful voice. And yet, off the stage, Sandi struggled to have a voice at all. Journey with Sandi and discover the tools you need to listen for God's voice and find your voice along the way.

With a history of sexual abuse, infidelity, divorce, and crises of self-image, Sandi lived much of her life feeling unworthy of love or value. Like so many of us, she coped by living through the voices of others, allowing other people to prescribe her identity. As she performed around the world, Sandi met others just like her who hid their wounds behind quiet smiles and struggled to live with fractured identities.

Through deeply intimate stories of her life and the empowering spiritual truths she's learned, Sandi offers readers wisdom to navigate the journey from voicelessness to discovering the voice God has given you, teaching you to:

  • Embrace your true self
  • Share your story
  • Become the person God created you to be
  • Sandi's warm and invitational writing will draw you to the voice of the God who sings over your life, saying you are seen, you are loved, and your voice is worth hearing. With timeless wisdom, The Voice will help you uncover your God-given identity and a voice of your very own.

    Praise for The Voice:

    "I've known Sandi for more than a quarter of a century. I'm one of the millions who have been blessed by her voice and touched by her words of wisdom. Her story is one of grace, hope, and second chances. May it impact all who read it."

    —Max Lucado, pastor and New York Times bestselling author

    "My favorite kind of spiritual leader is the one who tells the truth and gives others permission to tell the truth. I don't need shiny, polished, or tidy. I need genuine. Sandi, my dear friend, whom I love wholeheartedly, has given us this and more in The Voice."

    —Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author

        In this uneven if emotional book, Christian singer Patty (Broken on the Back Row), winner of five Grammy and 40 Dove Awards, shares intimate memories of times when she felt voiceless. As a six-year-old girl, she was abused by the woman her parents left her with as they traveled with their music ministry. Patty locked her secret deep inside: “So from age six, I walked through my unconscious life looking through the lens of being the bad girl and everything being my fault.” She found expression and relief through her music, but over-eating sparked additional emotional problems. She went on to become an international success, but many Christians later rejected her when it was revealed that she was having an affair and her marriage ended, nearly destroying her singing career. Patty writes about how her strength only returned when she learned to hear God speaking. But details of how this happens are vague and she occasionally skirts discussions of pivotal moments. For instance, the childhood abuse is discussed in detail, but Patty doesn’t share specifics of her adult recovery, and though she writes that her parents helped in that recovery, she doesn’t mention how her revelation of the abuse was received. Patty’s story is a singular one, but its impact is somewhat blunted by the arms-length treatment of some topics. Agent: Esther Fedorkevich, Fedd Agency
