CONTENTS

PRAISE FOR BECOMING BRAVE

Romans 8:28 is one of my favorite scripturesespecially when I find myself going through the inevitable times of trials that always result in the strengthening of my faith. You know, the painful molding and shaping sieges that God allows in His infinite wisdom and love for each of us to grow us up in Him for His purposes and glory. The Word of God is my ultimate yardstick for truth and direction, but then there are those rare books that come along that are written from the heart to edify and encourage the body of Christ. Becoming Brave is one of those books that will affirm we are not alone and to bravely press on, in Jesus mighty name!
