At age 18, Anita Backman was diagnosed with rapid-cycling Bipolar 1 Mood Disorder and severe Anxiety. Her life has been far from a walk in the park. Suffering from episodes of mania, depression, self-harm and psychosis, resulting in electroconvulsive therapy as a form of treatment, Anita has had countless admissions to Mental Health Units.
Despite her difficult struggles throughout life, Anita’s faith has been pivotal to her survival. God has planted in her an unshakable faith. She has a deep, personal, intimate relationship with God which keeps her steadfast in life.
This book is a glimpse into that intimate relationship between God and Anita. It is full of rich conversations, both heartening, thought provoking and reflective. It captures the essence of being in an interpersonal relationship with God – pure honesty and surrender. This is an inspiring book of prayers that will deeply touch you no matter what your circumstances are in life.
“Like the Psalmists of old who weren’t afraid to be honest and raw, Whispers to My Father journeys to the depths and rises to the peaks of human emotions. Anita speaks from the heart laying bare her deepest thoughts and feelings, allowing her journey of intimacy with the Father to open a pathway for anyone who was willing to walk it.”
