Tod D. Hill, author of “The God Who Spoke Still Speaks!,” was recently interviewed by CBS Radio host Benji Cole on the nationally recognized program People of Distinction. During the conversation, Taylor shared the message behind his book and the inspiration behind it.
People of Distinction, hosted by Benji Cole and his father, Al Cole of CBS Radio, is one of the nation’s most wide-ranging radio programs, known for spotlighting meaningful stories and thought-provoking works. The show has become a trusted platform where authors and readers alike can discover impactful new books, particularly from passionate and independent writers.
“The God Who Spoke Still Speaks!” by Tod D. Hill presents 16 practical ways that God continues to speak and guide His people in everyday life. Rather than focusing solely on how God spoke in the past, the book emphasizes how the divine voice remains active, relevant and personal in the present. Through inspiring real-life stories and clear guidance, the author invites readers to recognize and respond to God’s voice today.
Tod D. Hill was born in Madisonville, Kentucky, into a family with a rich heritage of coal mining. He followed suit with an extensive career spanning over forty-four years in the coal mining industry. While fishing one day, Tod made the life changing decision to submit His life to Christ. From that day, Tod has chosen to seek the Lord with a genuine and passionate fervency. He now travels full time ministering the gospel and sharing the love of Jesus wherever he goes. Tod and his wife Michele, have one daughter and they joyfully reside in Madisonville, Kentucky.
In this work, Tod shares narrative episodes—such as being spared from a disastrous business deal after a clear sense of divine warning—and uses them to illustrate how God speaks in modern contexts. Each chapter highlights a distinct “way” God might communicate—through Scripture, through circumstances, through relationships, through inner promptings—and offers questions and reflections at the end to help readers discern God’s voice in their own journey. The tone is personal and accessible, making the spiritual more tangible.
What makes “The God Who Spoke Still Speaks!” compelling is its blend of story and strategy. Many Christian books address God speaking in the past (prophets, apostles) but fewer help believers today discern how God is speaking now. Tod provides real-world examples that readers can relate to—business decisions, family crises, everyday routines—and then draws out the spiritual mechanics: how God uses voice, scripture, relationships and even “quiet nudges.”
For those who feel spiritually stuck or unsure whether God is really involved in their lives, this book offers hope and pathway. The conversational tone, combined with reflective prompts, makes it more than a devotional—it becomes a mentorship into hearing God’s voice.
The God Who Spoke Still Speaks! is more than a faith handbook—it is an invitation to listen. It challenges the reader to move beyond mere belief into responsiveness, to recognize when God speaks and to act accordingly. If you’re longing for clarity, guidance, or simply a renewed awareness that God is not silent, this book offers practical, grounded help.
