About this listen

What if you just trusted the whisper of calling placed on your heart?

Kathy Izard was volunteering at Charlotte’s Urban Ministry Center when an unlikely meeting with a homeless man changed the course of her life. She realized that serving at the soup kitchen was feeding her soul, but not actually solving the needs of the homeless population.

Rather than brush it off and avoid what she now felt called to take on, she quit her job and took on what seemed like an insurmountable task - building housing for Charlotte’s homeless.

Woven together with this uplifting story of social action is Kathy’s personal struggle with faith, forgiveness and fulfillment. In telling her story, Kathy invites you to consider rewriting your own.

What’s calling you? As crazy at it seems, it may be crazier not to try. This book will push you to do so much more than you ever thought possible.

Critic reviews

"Kathy Izard tells two compelling stories in one: About her journey toward fulfilling her life's purpose and about Charlotte's journey to finally treating its chronically homeless with compassion and dignity. Each has twists and turns, each has a happy ending.” (Taylor Batten, editorial page editor, The Charlotte Observer)

This book is a great reflection of what one goes through with a calling. The to and fro with God , the self doubt, and the disappointments along the way serve as a reminder that God has a calling for us all and that we can only respond. The rest is up to Him! I can only imagine the people that this book will reach in their quest!

I highly recommend The Hundred Story Home by Kathy Izard. Metropolitan Interfaith Association of Memphis is conducting a community wide read because of Izard’s profound messages. The narration was clear, but the phrasing and lack of pause between sentences was distracting and confusing at times. The writing was able to overcome this small hurdle though, and I hope many will read this important book.

Fabulous book!

Thank you for sharing your story - one that encourages me to find my passion and purpose is also a painful reminder of a brother who fought the demons of mental illness and lost. He was 26 and my hero. I was 14. I saw my parents struggle with an adult child with mental illness (schizophrenia). They had no options then. I am thankful this is changing. Thank you for making a difference for people like my brother, who without my parents would have most likely been homeless.

And now these three remain: Faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.

Wonderful, thought provoking read
