My Review:
This book is a collection of personal stories shared by women who have been through different, and sometimes intensely difficult, challenges in life. Each woman has become a leader in some aspect of her life, whether it be in ministry, business, or organizations to better their communities. Although their stories are varied, they are written from the aspect that all of the ladies have a relationship with Jesus Christ and refer to the Bible as the guidebook for their lives. I appreciated the fact that the authors were very transparent about the different situations they had faced. I would say that the overall theme is that there’s hope and help when we turn to God.
The advice the ladies share through their personal stories is helpful and encouraging. This is the kind of book that you want to take your time reading to fully appreciate each story. This is not just a “self-help” book, but one that shows how spiritual strength is available as we allow God to work in our lives.
Please note: A couple of these stories mention physical or emotional abuse. No specific details are given. Each story gives the reader hope and encouragement. I only want the reader to be aware of this in case this would be an emotional trigger for you.
I voluntarily received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. All opinions are my own.

Meet Lisa
The diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder initially shattered LISA BURRIS BURNS’ ministry dreams as a vocalist and worship leader. Despite this, God opened opportunities for her journey and abilities to expand beyond what she ever anticipated for herself — to acting, stage performance, set design, and writing. As a vocal and performance coach with K.C. Superstar, a Kansas City-based competition likened to “American Idol,” she is passionate about fine-tuning artists’ creative expressions. Lisa thrives on the artistic process, especially everything yarn and crafty.
This avid Kansas City Chiefs fan lives with her husband, Randy, in Blue Springs, Missouri. The Burns have served in marriage and family ministry since 1988. They have six fantastic children, two amazing son-in-loves, and five adorable granddaughters.
