With Open Ears: 60 Reflections on the Wonder of Sound from a Woman Born Blind
"This book has forever changed the way I perceive sound--from something taken for granted to something spiritual in nature, a gift that gives me a glimpse of my heavenly Father's heart." --Grace Fox, Bible teacher and award-winning author of Finding Hope in Crisis Rediscover the world through the beauty of sound. Stop. Take a moment to listen. What do you hear around you? God filled the world with sound, weaving a tapestry of melodies and rhythms that invite you to marvel at the splendor and power of creation. Through the gift of hearing, we have the ability to appreciate the symphony of life and find beauty in the gentle whispers of wind, the roaring of waterfalls, and the choruses of birdsong. Each sound is a divine invitation to pause, listen, and learn more about God's character and creation. Born legally blind, Karen Wingate depended on sound as her lifeline through the labyrinth of a sight-reliant culture. In a noisy world, she found God's presence woven throughout, guiding her steps and revealing his love in the most unexpected places. Join Wingate on a sixty-day journey as she unveils what creation says about God's character and invites you to immerse yourself in the rich and amazing experience of sound.

Praise for this book
With Open Ears is sheer delight. The author's unique blend of stories, biblical truth, and application questions leads readers into a deeper, sweeter understanding of God's character. This book has forever changed the way I perceive sound--as something taken for granted to something spiritual in nature; a gift that gives me a glimpse of my heavenly Father's heart.--Grace Fox, Bible teacher and award-winning author of Finding Hope in Crisis (9/11/2024 12:00:00 AM)
Karen Wingate writes from a unique and personal perspective to guide readers to a deeper awareness of God's presence in our everyday lives. With Open Ears offers devotions that are thought-provoking and inspiring, steeped in Scripture, and sprinkled with humor. The author clearly shows us the meaning of Psalm 46:10: Be still and know that I am God. I look forward to the next thunderstorm.--Crystal Bowman, award-winning author of more than 100 books (9/11/2024 12:00:00 AM)
Distracted. That might be the word that best describes our current culture and personal experience. Our senses are overwhelmed by so many sounds that the voice of God gets muffled. Jesus frequently said, 'Whoever has ears, let them hear.' We have ears, but what do we hear? Who do we hear? Too often we hear the lies of the Evil One. And one of his greatest temptations is to simply overwhelm us with noise to distract us from hearing God. Karen Wingate's book With Open Ears is a powerful reminder that we need to be attentive to all the ways God communicates and speaks to us. She encourages us to slow down and truly listen to the voice that fills our soul and gives us life. Use this book as a daily devotion and then prepare yourself to use your ears to really hear.--Glen Elliott, pastor, coach, and consultant in Tucson, AZ (9/11/2024 12:00:00 AM)
In her book With Fresh Eyes, Karen taught us what it's like to see through the eyes of a woman born blind. In With Open Ears, she teaches us to use our God-given sense of hearing to experience the world--and God--in ways we might never have experienced before. As I read Karen's thoughtful work, I sensed him saying, 'Are you listening?' Thanks to Karen, I am.--Lori Hatcher, author of A Word for Your Day (9/11/2024 12:00:00 AM)
Karen Wingate has done it again. With Fresh Eyes opened our eyes to the love and mercy of God seen in everyday life. Now, in With Open Ears, Karen ushers us into God's presence, encouraging us to listen to his voice in the natural world, in the people and circumstances that surround us, and within our own hearts. This compelling book puts us in touch with the marvelous world we live in and the marvelous Creator who made it for us.--Shawn McMullen, editor of Christian Standard and author of Coming Home to Holiness (9/11/2024 12:00:00 AM)
Most of us are surrounded by sound every day, but when was the last time we saw it as a gift? Do we realize God is speaking to us through the things we hear, like the rain, the bird's song, and our own breath? In her book With Open Ears, Karen Wingate focuses on five different aspects of sound and how they testify to God's divine presence in our lives. This book provides refreshment to weary travelers who need to be reminded of the simple yet beautiful gifts surrounding us each day. If you're looking for a book to reinvigorate your faith and help you sense God's presence in fresh new ways, look no further.--Abby McDonald, contributor to Proverbs 31 Ministries' Encouragement for Today
