In the quiet chambers of the soul, there are truths too sacred for noise—moments where grief, love, faith, and revelation converge in a language only the heart can hear.

In Whispers from the Deep, Chelle Franc invites you into that sacred space. Through 23 powerful biblical verses paired with deeply personal, poetic reflections, she unearths the beauty that emerges when life’s deepest wounds meet the healing presence of God.

Each page is a tender meeting place of scripture and soul—exploring forgiveness, the complexities of family, the courage of setting boundaries, and the boundless calling to love as God loves.
