Eva Marie:  Okay, I have to throw this in here:  my first three novels take place in NYC and, knowing the real estate there is quite different from say … here … I did an awful lot of reading and interviewing myself. To me, it’s one of the most fun things we do as novelists!

My favorite line, in your book, comes on page 100 and it goes like this: "God has nothing to say to me." I bet I reread that line about five times, thinking...WOW! There really are people out there who feel this way. ...

Angie:  Of course there are! Over the last couple of years I’ve been trying to get out of my “spiritual cocoon” and reach into my neighborhood (I wrote about this in my book "The Debt"), and I’ve seen this evidence of this attitude. If they only knew how much he has to say!

Eva Marie:  Final thing … for those out there who really do feel that God has nothing to say to them, would you offer up a short prayer?

Angie:  Father, I’m so grateful you haven’t finished striving with those of us in the family who occasionally want to go our own headstrong way, and those who haven’t yet discovered the joy of becoming a child of God. I look at all the ways you speak to us — through the skies, the glory of nature, the wonder of the animal kingdom, the miracle of your Word — and I pray you will continue striving and speaking until the barriers come down. Help us to awaken, Lord, to the needs of people around us, the unseen agonies of our neighbors. Help us to be sensitive to your voice, so we will know when it is time to speak or act in your name. I offer this prayer in the fellowship of my brothers and sisters and in the name of Jesus, our savior — AMEN.

Eva Marie:  Amen.
