A voice.
And five dissimilar people knew they were summoned to obey.
Against all earthly logic, it carried a divine command - and their unforeseen meeting would result in a challenge to the cultural direction of the nation and wage war against the most powerful and influential industry in North America.
A message.
One that asks for a single personal response - a response that can unveil a new realm of moral responsibility and hope. The media frenzy places a spotlight on knowing - and doing - the will of God. How will the group be able to stand against the swelling powers of darkness and greed vying to crush their message of hope?
Can they really hear the voice of God?

My Thoughts:
In his new book The Turning, Davis Bunn has presented to readers in story form one of the most valuable lessons that can be learned: the discipline of listening to God. Through the stories of John, Alisha, Jenny, Ruth, and Yussuf, Bunn goes a step further and shows in living color what it looks like to listen to God's voice and obey - to do things only possible by relying on Him.
In few words, Bunn's characters come to life and he draws you into their stories from the very beginning. There are no wasted pages in The Turning. With each paragraph, the intensity builds and as a reader, I found myself invested in the life of those involved quickly. This was a hard book to put down and is one that I will re-read most likely more than once.
