Jeanne Mancini, president of March for Life

Sisterhood is sacred for me. I lost both my sisters at an early age. My big sister, Charlotta, was killed in a car accident when she was twenty. My little sister, Cheralyn, died a few years later from leukemia when she was fifteen. By the time I was eighteen, I was very aware of a missing connection in my life: sisters. Finding that inner circle of sisters took years for me. This book will enhance the process for you. You will find your circle. Your tribe. Your sisterhood! You will grow together. Trust life and God together. Change your world together. And, yes, our sisterhood will even roar together.

Chonda Pierce, comedian and author

It is such an honor and privilege to endorse this amazing book Sister Roar, coauthored by Lisa Robertson and her mother-in-law Miss Kay. I know that every word in this powerful book is true, because I have been privileged to call these two amazing women my friends. This is one of the most impactful books I have ever read to help the broken and downtrodden receive healing and find their voice to help others.

Nancy Alcorn, founder and president of Mercy Multiplied

I am inspired by the real and raw faith of Lisa and Miss Kay. This book digs deeply into the struggles women are facing, and then points us to the cross and the power and purpose of our identity in Christ. Grateful for their wisdom and writings here.

Megan Alexander, TV host and author of Faith in the Spotlight

Sister Roar is a powerful book. It makes you laugh, cry, smile, wince, and blush. But at the end, you will feel energized with the power that comes from the divinely inspired sisterhood of Lisa, Miss Kay, and their cast of characters. They point the way to the true and only source of power: Jesus Christ. And they teach us to use our voices to roar one another on to victory in our own circles. This book would be impactful to read alone, in a small group, or in a large ministry. I cant wait to see how the Lord uses this book for such a time as this.

Pam Pryor, former State Department acting assistant secretary for International Organization Affairs and faith outreach director for the 2016 presidential campaign

Every human has experienced some sort of difficulty in their lifetime. And if you are a woman, you more than likely desire to have another woman in your life you can talk to and share your feelings with. As a Christian, I know that the Scripture says, For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them (Matthew 18:20). It brings me comfort to know that when I gather with my sisters in Christ, our Lord is there with ushearing our pain, sorrow, sadness, and joy. Together, we can make our requests known to Him who has the power to heal, restore, and redeem. Knowing this makes life sweeter and hard times easier to bear, and it gives us the strength to find our voice when we want to give in to the temptation to isolate ourselves. You will get encouragement in Sister Roar to find space where you can grow in your faith and your roar that is just waiting to be heard.
