I love storytelling and I love brave women. And by brave, I mean those who say yes to God and renounce what theyve built with their own strength. Ronne shares very detailed and beautiful accounts of some powerful relationships God has provided to shape her life and strengthen her walk of faith. As president of the Latin American Christian Alliance for Orphans, I especially treasured reading the sincere narrative about that encounter with her own limitations in her former approach to caring for the vulnerable. Our default mode is to barge in and try quick fixes instead of humbly asking more questions and coming alongside those who are already doing the hard, beautiful work of obeying God in ways the world may regard as slow or less impactful.

May this book inspire you to see Jesus as that pearl of great price and to say yes to whatever it is Hes calling you to so that you can fulfill your purpose, which is to glorify His wondrous Name through the work of justice he has prepared beforehand.

Loving and serving others is not a spectator sport but our sacred duty as Christians. Many want to go, some tell us we should, but few actually pack their bags and go into all the world to love it well and change lives. Ronne Rock is one of the few women I know who makes a profound difference in the world simply because shes willing to go. An incredible word weaver who engages the reader with raw truth, Ronnes stories will thoroughly draw you in, making you feel like the women whose tales she tells are right in your living room. She shares real conversations with women who are living messy and broken but truth-filled lives and are willing to share the good, bad, and ugly bits of life. She shows miraculous grace in the midst of devastating circumstances, reminding women that our God is the God of the ampersand, the God of also/and, not either/or. She proves that each of us can change the world if were willing to simply go.
