Synopsis: The message was unexpected but instantly recognizable. A voice
resonated from a distance and somehow from within. Against all earthly logic,
it carried a divine command. And five very different people knew they were
summoned to obey.Their obedience was demanding,
but not particularly grand. Only later would a pattern emerge, challenging the
cultural direction of the nation. They realize that one small personal response
unveiled a new realm of moral responsibility. This affirmation of everyday hope
captures the attention of millions.But
power and money are at stake. Malicious elements align themselves to counter
the trend. To succeed they must also undermine its source, casting doubt on the
idea that God speaks to people today.The public debate and media frenzy place an unprecedented spotlight on
knowing and doing God’s will. The five who heard and obeyed God’s voice
encounter threats. Had God indeed imparted wisdom on selected individuals? Is
this sweep of events part of his divine purpose?The movement may herald a profound
renewal—one that some are calling The Turning.
