Leslie Lee Sanders' READY TO LISTEN? was the read I needed but had no idea how badly until I read her well-crafted, thought-provoking, and heartfelt memoir that is so much more: I realized the importance of quiet, of listening to my heart and the slightest whispers of long forgotten dreams. I recommend this book for other seekers, particularly those of us doing our best and never feeling like we're doing well. We are not alone in our struggle -- this book encourages us to dare, to follow our intuition. I received a copy of this book and these thoughts are my own, unbiased opinions.

Ready to Listen? by Leslie Lee Sanders is a gentle, reflective spiritual memoir that invites readers to slow down and reconnect with their inner voice. Rather than offering a traditional self-help framework, this book feels more like a personal journal shared with openness and sincerity.

Sanders recounts her journey from childhood silence — being taught to stay quiet and not interrupt — to learning how to listen deeply to herself, her intuition, and what she interprets as guidance from angels and the universe. The book centers on the idea that when we quiet external noise, we can better hear the subtle nudges that guide us toward purpose, healing, and self-trust.

What stands out most is the tone: calm, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. Sanders doesn’t claim to have all the answers, nor does she push rigid beliefs. Instead, she shares her experiences with vulnerability, allowing readers to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. The chapters are short and accessible, making this a good book to read in small moments of reflection rather than in one intense sitting.

This isn’t a book for readers looking for structured exercises, scientific backing, or step-by-step transformation plans. Its strength lies in its spiritual openness and emotional honesty, which will appeal most to readers who enjoy intuitive, faith-adjacent, or reflective personal growth books.
