“This is more than a memoir. It’s an invitation for others who are navigating pain and searching for meaning to connect with the Voice that still speaks today.”

Reviews

“I am so blessed by this fantastic book! Tenay’s book is so valuable and provides deep support. What the world needs more of is kindness, support, loving connection, and grace. Tenay provides honesty around healing, the truth of her story and journey, and resources to find and cultivate our own path to peace and wellness. We all have a strong sense of truth when we hear it. This book is full of that and the gift of Tenay’s experience. I am honored by her trust and faith.” Read the entire, original review at https://a.co/d/5RYEb00

“If you want to keep God in a box, this book is not for you. If you want to hear an amazing testimony of how God spoke and worked to bring healing to one of his precious ones, you should definitely read this! Throughout the Bible, we see God moving in mysterious ways, but it seems like we think He has somehow changed in modern times. Tenay vulnerably shares her experience of God leading her in ways that are outside of the box many Western Christians have put Him in…” Read the entire, original review at https://a.co/d/4GcPePp

“Such a real, raw, transformative book that totally changed my perspective on the healing journey. I never realized how multi-faceted the journey was. Through reading this book, I’ve been challenged to grapple with my own healing and seek the gentle guidance of “The Voice” of God to pursue my own wholeness.

Reading this book helped me gained so much compassion for fellow humans as well. Through Tenay’s eyes, I’ve uncovered a new level of empathy for other people. I’m re-learning to see them as God sees them. ” Read the entire, original review at https://a.co/d/5zRjiHR

The Voice Memoirs

When chronic illness forced U.S. Army officer Tenay Benes to quit seminary and move back in with her parents, it could have marked the end of her story. Instead, it became the beginning of a miraculous healing journey—one guided by an unmistakably healing Voice. As a STEM-educated business professional and former U.S. Army officer trained in logic and discipline, she wrestles with the mystery of divine encounters that help her heal in ways medical providers said she never would.

Book I: Heal or Die

In “Heal or Die”, Book I of “The Voice Memoirs”, Tenay Benes shares a raw, powerful memoir of the first five years of her multi-year healing journey from debilitating fatigue, tormenting trauma, and mysterious illness to profound emotional, physical, and spiritual restoration. With unflinching honesty and unwavering faith, Tenay invites readers into a deeply personal chronicle of loss, courage, and transformation—one in which the line between Heaven and Earth blurs, and healing isn’t just possible, it’s promised.

Book II: The One-Percent Marriage

An upcoming title, currently in progress, that continues the healing journey in marriage.

Thank you so much for your encouragement and support!
