Christian music icon and forty-time Dove award winner, Sandi Patty has long astounded listeners with her powerful voice. And yet, off the stage, Sandi struggled to have a voice at all. Through deeply intimate stories of her life and the empowering spiritual truths she’s learned, Sandi offers readers wisdom to navigate the journey from voicelessness to discovering the voice God has given you. With … you. With a poignant history of sexual abuse, infidelity, divorce, and crises of self-image, Sandi lived much of her life feeling unworthy of love or value. And like so many of us, she coped by living through the voices of others, allowing other people to prescribe her identity. As she performed around the world, Sandi met others just like her, who hid wounds behind quiet smiles and struggled to live with fractured identities.
Sandi’s warm and invitational writing will draw you to the voice of God who sings over your life saying you are seen, you are loved, and your voice is worth hearing. With timeless wisdom, The Voice will help you uncover your God-given identity and a voice of your very own.
“God heard my voice even when I couldn’t hear it myself and then his voice broke through my walls and wounds, insecurities and self-doubts. I am voiceless no more!”

I’ve known Sandi for more than a quarter of a century. I’m one of the millions who have been blessed by her voice and touched by her words of wisdom. Her story is one of grace, hope, and second chances. May it impact all who read it.
I’m so proud of Sandi for having the courage to share the truth about her life and how hearing God’s voice helped her discover her own. This book will encourage and inspire you to find your voice as you pursue the dreams and desires God has put in your heart.
I love Sandi’s voice, her heart, and her passion for Christ. I was deeply moved by the transparency of this book. She shares her journey at a depth that few are brave enough to offer. So find a quiet place and sit with her story for a while. Perhaps you too will find your voice.
Sandi Patty reveals the many struggles she has had behind the stage and not having a voice to express her feelings. She tells how she has been able to overcome all of this by leaning on Jesus and depending on HIm . Many women, if not most women can totally relate to her story.
I could hardly quit listening to The Voice once I started. It is honest and inspirational, a true story of someone who puts her own life under the magnifying glass in a way that caused me to do the same with mine.
Sandi’s voice has filled arenas, stadiums, concert halls, and, most important, hearts. The only thing that exceeds her voice is her generous hospitality. When you open the cover of this book, you will feel seen and heard.
A phrase in the book that stuck with me is ” God restores and repurposes our life.”
The book is fairly well written. (She’s a singer not a writer) but you see her pain and her healing. Sandi opens her life, holds nothing back, and shows God’s grace. He has used Sandi in a marvelous way and I believe He has more in store for her.
It just goes to show me we never know what so one is going through but how God and His love and grace gets us through it. He helps us become who He wants us to be when we trust and obey.
I have loved and followed Sandi Patty for years. She is so transparent in this book but her story will be very encouraging to those who have been through a similar experience. Highly recommend.
Later: I found myself quoting from her book today to someone who really needed a word of encouragement. So glad I recalled the quote.
The Voice is the most touching book I have had the privilege to read. Sandi speaks from her heart about her real life experiences and how it influenced her today. She is an amazing writer, a faithful Christian, and a beautiful soul, and of all her books, The VOICE touches my heart and mind. I related to many episodes in her life and now feel like I have new methods to overcome some of the bad coping mechanisms developed during my years. Thank You Sandi for your honesty, your Faithfulness, and your Voice. You have truely helped me begin the journey of finding mine.
Buy the book and read it several times. It will change your life if you allow her words and experiences to influence you, stimulate thought, and encourage heart felt prayer. #THEVOICEBOOK #HEARTANDMINDHEALING #SANDIPATTY.
Sandi is gifting us with an encore performance. Sharing wisdom from the latest third of her life, she is candid about the complexity of her journey and the depth of her faith, and we are once again encouraged, strengthened, and made aware of God’s love for us all.
As I read this book, I realized how hard Sandi has fought against circumstances and experiences that could have silenced her, and it made me respect her even more. She has done what she does best: welcome others to listen to her voice and find their own as they do.
My favorite kind of spiritual leader is the one who tells the truth and gives others permission to tell the truth. I don’t need shiny, polished, or tidy. I need genuine. Sandi, my dear friend, whom I love wholeheartedly, has given us this and more in The Voice.
