"Whispers From My Heart" is the tale of one woman's journey through the real world where pain, confusion, disappointments, and despair are real, every day occurrences. It voices the anguish that the human heart endures in a person termed "Adult Survivor of Childhood Sexual Assault." It echoes the same question that is on the hearts of everyday people, "Why?" "Whispers From My Heart" points to the One with the answer to that question. It is not a self-help book; it is a "God-can-help-you" book that teaches the powerful truth that God is still in the business of delivering His people from bondage, and leading them out of realms of captivity, into their promised land. Cheryl Thompson has been a single mother to Trey, Charlie and Brett since October of 1989. Through the trials of her childhood, and the struggles of single parenthood, Cheryl has learned first hand the importance of a heart attitude toward life and God, and how the that attitude impacts their soul and their relationship with God. She has a passion for the hurting and wounded Bride of Christ. Through her personal knowledge of the compassion of Jesus Christ, Cheryl relays the message of hope, healing and freedom to those who have endured sexual assault. She is a 1983 graduate of Christ For the Nations, Institute of Dallas, TX, and currently manages a small real estate company in Southern Illinois.
