About this listen

Cade Brannon was a man coming undone—a husband with a shattered marriage, a son drowning in regret, and a soul convinced he was beyond saving.

One lonely night, with a pistol in his hand and his heart collapsing under the weight of failure, Cade prepares to end everything. But in a moment that can only be described as divine intervention, his television flickers on, and a preacher declares a message that stops Cade cold: “There is power in the words of Christ.

Read the red letters.”

With nothing left to lose, Cade opens a long-forgotten Bible.

And the moment his eyes fall on the red letters—the very words spoken by Jesus—his world shakes.

Walls he built with anger and pain collapse.

Truth strikes his heart like lightning.

Grace pours into places he thought were beyond repair.

But healing is only the beginning.

To become the man God is calling him to be, Cade must face the past he tried to bury—the wife he hurt,the mother he pushed away,the people he wronged,and the sins he feared were unforgivable.

Through tears, honesty, humor, and the quiet voice of God, Cade learns that redemption is not a moment…It is a journey.

When I READ the Red Letters is a gripping, emotional, and deeply hopeful Christian novel about what happens when a broken man finally hears the voice of Jesus—and discovers he was never too far gone.

If you’ve ever felt lost, ashamed, unworthy, or forgotten—this story will remind you of one eternal truth:

The red letters still speak.

And they can change everything.
