Find Your Brave By Holly Wagner


 
Navigate Life’s Storms and Discover a Courage Like No Other 
Have you ever found yourself in over your head, wondering how you would possibly get through with your faith and sanity intact?
 
It can happen any time. Life seems good and then—BOOM!—out of nowhere comes a storm that threatens to drown your hopes. Your storm might be a job loss, loneliness, a crumbling relationship, financial ruin, a serious illness, or the death of a loved one. Whatever it is, as the winds howl and the waves rage, you have a choice: will you cower in fear or will you rise to the challenge?
 
Cancer survivor Holly Wagner has endured her share of storms. In Find Your Brave she examines the dramatic shipwreck faced by the apostle Paul in Acts 27. There she uncovers profound truths that will guide you safely through life’s most difficult moments.
 
Through solid biblical teaching and relatable personal stories, Holly offers an uplifting, friendly voice in the midst of the gale-force winds and overpowering critical voices. She shows you how to anchor your trust in the God who remains faithful in every storm and in whose strength you can Find Your Brave.

“So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as He said.” –Acts 27:25 (NLT)
 
The apostle Paul, held as a prisoner on a ship bound for Rome, encounters a fierce tempest on the Adriatic Sea. Chaos and calamity surround him as the crew frantically attempts to lighten the ship, undergird the vessel, and keep her afloat. Paul stands in their midst and makes a simple, yet course-altering statement: “Be of good cheer!”
 
In the middle of your storms,
are you able to declare the same?

 
In Find Your Brave GodChicks founder Holly Wagner combines insight found in Acts 27 with lessons learned from her very personal battles with cancer, betrayal, and turmoil to create the essential storm survival guide. Her words will encourage and empower you with practical tools to navigate life’s greatest storms, steady your heart against fear, and inspire you to rescue others as you make your way safely ashore.

Warrior Chicks By Holly Wagner



Some battles we choose; others choose us. There is a lot in life we cannot control--a cancer diagnosis, the choices our children make, a spouse who leaves, disappointments in our career, a broken heart. But in those tragedies, big and small, we still have a choice: lie down and give in or stand up and fight.

In this inspiring call to arms against victimhood and complacency, Holly Wagner challenges women to enlist as Warrior Chicks. She shows women that they are beautiful just the way they are, they are destined to be overcomers in this life, and that the battle is already won for us. She shares the secrets of being equipped to fight the good fight and do more than just survive. As Holly knows from her experience as a warrior chick battling breast cancer, we aren't living in peacetime. We can choose to be a casualty or a warrior. So what's it going to be?

Holly is passionate about seeing women become who God has designed them to become, and to see every generation of woman extend a helping hand to the generation that is younger. Through the women's ministry of Oasis, GodChicks, Holly seeks to blow the lid off the boxes that women have sometimes put themselves in and encourages women to be the amazing, world-changing champions they were made to be.

She has written several books, using her humorous yet challenging style to encourage readers. Her books include: GodChicks, examining with humor and honesty the many facets of being a woman of God, Daily Steps for GodChicks, a 90-day devotional which was written during her treatment of breast cancer, WarriorChicks, which uses Holly's own life experiences to deliver witty, yet poignant principles for facing any crisis life throws at you, GodChicks and The Men They Love, which she wrote with her husband Philip, offers practical help for dating and building a marriage, and her newest devotional, Awakened, which is a daily challenge for all of us to awaken to our purpose.

Holly has been featured on many TV shows; Fox Family's Parenting Show, Dick Clark's The Other Half, Berman and Berman, TBN's Praise the Lord and JCTV, the 700 Club, and recently The View. Holly speaks at churches and conferences all over the world, and loves living out the adventure God has given her!

Holly has a gift that's for sure, this book is written in such a way that you feel like she is sitting right next to you while you are reading it, giving you the best advice a friend can give you to lift you up and encourage you to keep on fighting to good fight.
All of us chicks have been through or know someone who has been through some rough stuff in life, this is the helpful tool you have been looking for.
You should have your Bible with you when you are reading this book. Holly quotes scripture and you want to go to the Bible and read it for your self. She has what the scripture is in the back of the book in the section called Endnotes so you may get a little confused as you are reading the book its self.
Such an encouraging read and if you have a friend going through something right now this is a great book to give them to help lift then up.
I gave this book 4 stars and I recommend it.
