Jackie Green - Only One Life: How a Womans Every Day Shapes an Eternal Legacy

Only One Life is an encouraging read that confirms our significant role as women in the present day, as well as in history. The message is a powerful reminder that each decision and aspect of our lives shapes the future. It is refreshing to read these vivid stories of female impact!

Lauren Scruggs Kennedy, author; blogger; founder, Lauren Scruggs Kennedy Foundation

Only One Life is a beautiful reminder of the strength and resilience of women and the eternal legacy each generation leaves to the next. What a gift to be reminded that the callings we fulfill are because we stand on the shoulders of those women before us who stood for justice, righteousness, and compassion.

Christine Caine, founder, A21 and Propel Women; author, Unexpected

I found so much encouragement through reading Only One Life. Jackie and Lauren have reminded us through their words that each woman, no matter her situation, can glorify God with her time. They have delved into the true meaning of living life to the fullest. We only have one life, and we were put on this earth to use the gifts that we have been given by God. I am so grateful that Jackie and Lauren felt the need to share this message with fellow women and to spur one another on to making the most of our everyday life.

Korie Robertson, author, Strong and Kind: Raising Kids of Character; star, Duck Dynasty

My friends Lauren and Jackie give us the stories of significant and persuasive women who, by their winsome examples, have won the right to be heard and followed. Thank you, Lauren and Jackie, for introducing us to the real movers and shakers in our world!

Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

Jackie and Lauren have done a fantastic job telling the stories of courageous women whove inspired us for generations. Dont miss the invitation to read this book and leave an inspiring legacy of your own. You are already more influential than you think!

Esther Fleece, speaker; author, No More Faking Fine

Only One Life is a Wow! because in reading Jackie and Laurens book, you keep company with women from times past and present who came to know, love, and serve God and, like the Greens, want to leave a legacy worthy of him who called us. There is much to be learned.

Kay Arthur, teacher; author; cofounder, Precept Ministries International

This mom and daughter duo motivates all women to live out abundantly more than we could ever dream of when we invite Jesus to take over. Im certain this book, through the many stories it tells, will challenge anyone to dream bigger!

Chelsea Crockett, author, Your Own Beautiful

Amid daily news of injustice against women, minorities, and children, Jackie and Lauren introduce us to real-life answers and the women who represent these answers. I honestly could not put this book down and will be using it as a reference for years to come.

Lynette Lewis, business consultant; author, Climbing the Ladder in Stilettos

Only One Life posts a needed challenge to the next generation of women of faith: What will be our legacy? This book inspired me greatly and showed me some powerful female role models. Lauren and Jackie put great time, effort, and thought into this book, and it shows. It is a gift.

Megan Alexander, correspondent, Inside Edition; author, Faith in the Spotlight

Im so glad for this book because stories of Christian women need to be told! Out of their conviction and obedience to God, these women led, pioneered, championed, raised, and taught in ways that have left an indelible mark on our world.

Mai Hariu-Powell, executive director, The New York Project at Redeemer City to City

One Life to Live is a poignant reminder of the power each of us has to establish a legacy that will shape families, influence cultures, and ultimately change the entire world. This book is a gift. Read it and then go and establish a legacy of your own.
