Ashley’s Whisper: A Faith Story for Kids
For parents who want to nurture curiosity, not crush it.
This book and guide duo helps families start real faith conversations before doubt feels like a crisis.
Ages 9–13 | Perfect for bedtime reading or small group discussion
What Parents Are Seeing
Kids are curious but afraid to ask. Many children wonder about God’s silence or fairness but feel embarrassed to bring it up.
Faith feels “too big” to explain. Parents often freeze when the questions come: “How do I know God is real?” “Why doesn’t He answer?”
Culture moves faster than church. Online voices shape identity long before discipleship does.
Silence becomes disconnection. When spiritual questions go unspoken, kids assume doubt means disbelief.
What’s Inside
“Ashley’s Whisper” Children’s Edition (Included in this purchase – $6.99)
A heartfelt story of a middle-school girl discovering that God is not absent—even when He feels quiet.

The Test – Anxiety and unseen prayers
The Party – Courage after humiliation
The Whisper – Finding God’s closeness in the silence
“Parent & Mentor Guide” Companion Edition (Sold separately or available in the bundle)
A side-by-side tool with chapter notes, reflection prompts, and faith psychology insights drawn from Os Guinness and Gary Habermas.
You’ll gain a framework for:
Talking about Divine Hiddenness in child-friendly ways
Recognizing emotional doubt before it becomes spiritual crisis
Turning everyday moments into discipleship conversations
Early Readers & Reflections
“My kids bashfully admitted, ‘We’ve had those same thoughts but never said them out loud.’”
“An early reader told me, ‘This book finally gives kids language for questions I didn’t know how to ask until adulthood.’”
Early readers have shared how deeply this story resonates. Parents say it helps them start conversations they never knew how to begin. Children whisper that it feels like someone finally understands what they are afraid to say. Even in my own home, my husband could not finish the story without tears, which reminded me why these conversations matter so much.
From parents to pastors to quiet readers, early responses have echoed one theme: finally, a story that makes faith questions feel safe to explore.
Why I Wrote This Story
This story began as a whisper in my own heart that I could not ignore.
When I was eleven, I did not have the tools or courage to ask my biggest faith questions. Years later, as both a mom and a ministry leader, I realized how many children carry those same silent doubts.
That is how Change the Narrative began. It is a book series rooted in real memories, emotional honesty, and thoughtful apologetics. Ashley’s Whisper is not just a story. It is an invitation to begin talking about doubt before it becomes a crisis.
Today, I lead this AI-assisted storytelling project through Nadeau Ministries LLC, combining years of preventative health transformation work with a new masters degree in Christian apologetics with a practical (or applied) emphasis from Colorado Christian University. My goal is simple: to create safe spaces where families can talk about belief, curiosity, and God’s work in their lives.
