When Hope Speaks — The Playlist

I made a Spotify playlist to go with When Hope Speaks. It’s full of songs I listened to during my travels, and the albums that inspired me while I wrote the book. I’ve written an explanation for each song below, but if you want to skip straight to the music click here: https://open.spotify.com/user/1236994....

Enjoy!

Jessica’s Quotes

“God is after the bigger picture of your life. He is writing your story. I'm about to say something that may seem antithetical to this book, but need you to hear this: your story has far more to do with finding God's unique calling and purpose for your life than it does with finding the love of your life.”
― Debra Fileta
