Courageous Faith is an honest, thoughtful, and faith-filled book that surprisingly resonated with me. You see, I am not a business leader, award-winning journalist or former Miss America. Yet, the life lessons that Debbye Turner Bell writes about impacted me all the same. In addition to excelling in many areas of her life, Dr. Turner Bell is also human. She has feelings, and can be deeply disappointed and hurt. Just like us all. But she also can rejoice and find peace in her life. Just like us all.

Courageous Faith is not just a book about one person's life journey. Dr. Turner Bell has woven her faith throughout the book, prompting us to consider important Biblical lessons that help to guide us through life. Lessons about failure, faith, determination, excellence, authenticity, courage, purpose, patience, overcoming and perseverance.

Even though her world is much different from mine, the themes of Dr. Turner Bell's story spoke to me. Such as the impact that mothers can have on our lives, both while they are alive and as we grieve their loss. Such as learning lessons about ourselves as we search for, and find, love later in life. And the importance of listening for God's voice in our lives...in all ways and for all things.

As a Christian, I felt "at home" as Dr. Turner Bell wrote of the impact of God in her life. How she seeks God in both the good times and the bad times. How prayer and patience work hand in hand. And, with God by our side, we are never alone.

Thank you, Debbye Turner Bell, for your story, your voice, your faith, and your life lessons shared!
