The Shape of God's Voice

An empowering guide to understanding the diverse and personal ways that God communicates with us all—regardless of physical abilities—from the founder of Deaf Motherhood and her twin hearing sister.

Twin sisters Janet, who is Deaf, and Jennifer, who is hearing, thought they knew everything about each other. Until one day, Janet shared that God spoke to her. Surprised, Jennifer signed question after question to her Deaf sister before realizing that God spoke to Janet through visual words. The sisters knew that they had stumbled on something special: God communicates in diverse and personal ways that you are uniquely designed to understand, regardless of your physical abilities. 

Through heartfelt and engaging narrative, Janet and Jennifer reveal that God's Word is alive, unchanging, and loud for all to hear; but to do so, you need to be still and open your spiritual ears to the Holy Spirit. Within each chapter, the authors unpack an American Sign Language alliteration—two signs made with the same handshape but separate movements. They connect these signs to a biblical truth that will lead to deeper relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Friendly, relatable, and encouraging, The Shape of God's Voice will help you quiet the noise of the world, be still, and know God intimately. Because no matter your physicial abilities, whether you’re deaf or blind, your Creator wants to speak to you. Are you ready to listen?Twin sisters and authors of God’s Rainbow of Promises, Janet Moreno and Jennifer Fusco are passionate about pointing people to see God’s mercy, grace, and hand in their lives.
