When The Warning Comes I Move!

By John Turner

Overview


Deaf from a young age and left to fend for himself on Boston's toughest streets, John Turner survived a world that rarely showed him mercy. But while the world around him was silent, John discovered a voice within—a presence he calls God, or Spirit. This voice didn't just speak; it guided him through violence, neglect, and despair, steering him toward hope when all seemed lost. For the first time, John reveals the hidden chapters of his life—the battles he fought, the pain he endured, and the faith that refused to let go. More than a memoir, this book is an invitation to witness resilience in its rawest form and to confront the possibility that there's a presence guiding us, even when no one else can hear. Step into John's story and consider the question that changed everything for him: What if God really does speak, even in the deepest silence? This is a journey that might just change the way you listen to the world—and to yourself.

Description


Deaf since childhood and forced to survive alone on Boston's toughest streets, John Turner learned that even in a world without sound, warnings still come—if you know how to listen. For John, danger never arrived quietly. When something was wrong, his heart would pound, a ringing would erupt in his ears, a strange vibe would grip him, and he'd catch a glimpse—something just off enough to make him move fast. He calls this presence God, or Spirit: a force that didn't just speak, but stirred him to act when it mattered most. For the first time, John shares the unseen moments that shaped him—the split-second warnings, the battles he fought, and the faith that wouldn't let him give up. More than a memoir, this is a book about what happens when you're guided by something bigger than fear. It's a story of resilience and trust in that silent, urgent nudge—a presence that moves you when something is in danger. Step into John's world and ask yourself: What if God reaches out not through words, but through a racing heart, a sudden ringing, a gut feeling, or a fleeting vision? "God Makes Me Move When Something Is in Danger" invites you to consider the ways we're guided, even when the world is silent—and how learning to listen can change everything.
