Book Review: Help Her Be Brave

 Help Her Be Brave

by Amy Ford

What if we lived in a world where every woman with an unplanned pregnancy always felt empowered to choose life for her unborn baby? To create that kind of change, it will take all of us. As the church, we can play a powerful role in making abortion unthinkable. With Help Her Be Brave, you can discover your part in saving lives and find your pro-life passion.


This was a great book! In each chapter the author explained a story or example of a girl or woman going through a certain problem that went with the chapter's theme. At the end of each chapter, Amy Ford listed out ways that each of us could get involved in the pro-life (or pro-LOVE) movement. Throughout the book, Amy Ford points out that at the foundation of every abortion decision is fear: fear of disappointment, fear of the future, fear of rejection. It is our job in the pro-life/pro-LOVE movement to show these girls that they are loved. No matter what mistakes they have made, we will love them and help them get back up on their feet. This book really did not go deep into theology and the gospel of salvation, but it give great pointers of how to show these girls love. Overall, I would totally recommend this book to anyone, but specifically to those who are looking for ways to get involved in the pro-life movement.

A piece of the story...part 6

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/New Year's! I know I did :) Here is another part of Always and Forever. Since it has been a while, if you want to review the last section of the story, I tagged them all under "Always and Forever" on the left sidebar. Enjoy :)  Before he could make a reply, John pulled the car up to the back entrance which was usually reserved for the staff although Henry preferred it to the impressive, overbearing front entrance. Henry burst from the car, leaving his luggage for John, and hurried up the back steps. A blast of humid air made his hair immediately stick to his forehead. Betsy, the dear old cook, was hovering over a large pot on the elaborate cook-stove.  “Still slaving away over your famous stew, I see, miss Betsy.”  The large, colored lady turned with a startled expression, the soup ladle still in her grasp. “Why, master Henry. I didn’t know you were expected home anytime soon.” A laugh bubbled from his chest. “I was hoping to surpr...

  Meddling With Mistletoe by Liz Johnson      Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.      The inn is busy with holiday guests--including Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that  she  just might be his perfect match.      Cuddle up f...
