Synopsis

Gabe Talmadge languished in prison for ten years, convicted of a horrible crime. Now free, he's unable to find work in the midst of the Great Depression. In desperation, he returns home to Ransom, Idaho, hoping his uncaring father will give him food and shelter, if not love. But the prodigal isn't welcomed home. Hudson Talmadge, who virtually owns the town, despises his son as much as ever, and Gabe is as powerless as an adult as he was as a child to win his father's approval. Hungry and hopeless, Gabe is rescued by the owner of a sheep ranch south of Ransom. Incredibly, Akira Macauley gives him a place to live and work to do. More than that, she gives him hope that he can receive forgiveness of his past - and perhaps even love. But when tragedy strikes Ransom once again and Gabe's life begins to unravel, he must either sink into an abyss of hopelessness or cling to a faith, hope, and love stronger than any he has ever known. First published in 2000 by WaterBrook Press, THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE won the 2001 RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance, the 2001 Excellence in Media Silver Angel Award, and the 2001 Booksellers' Best Award for Inspirational Romance.

Goodreads review by Christina on June 30, 2023

I chose this book somewhat randomly for our church book club. It was on my Kindle; I think because of a good deal on Amazon. The blurb promised a Christian read with a happy ending. Of course, life isn't so simple. This book challenged my own faith in that I asked myself--would I be strong enough to......more

Goodreads review by Anne (In Search of Wonder) on November 20, 2018

I really appreciated the spiritual truths embedded in this story- they came through loud and clear. I did find the primary characters to be fairly one- dimensional, I think as the result of intending them to portray specific truths and aspects of the gospel. In particular, the heroine seemed too goo......more

Goodreads review by Rebekah on April 11, 2022

2.5 stars This story is not what I would call a romance. There is some romance in the story, but that is not the driving factor of it, nor is it even prominent. Akira was a little “too good” for me to really feel any connection to her. She is almost perfect, she prays almost all the time and always se......more
