STAND UP!
Resilient Black Women
Who Are Shaping The World With Their Faith
Life will knock you down, run you over, and force you to question your worth daily. Your response to the adversities that are sure to come will determine your quality of life.
In STAND UP! each co-author recalled pivotal moments in her life where she chose to get up, dust off, trust in her personal relationship with God, and persevere in faith through turbulent times. These Resilient Black Women have endured heartache, rejection, betrayal, loss, abuse, abandonment, slander, and hardship and still they rise. They rise like a phoenix from the ashes to create a new legacy, one that inspires love, hope, forgiveness, compassion, and healing.
Not only are they committed to their own personal development and spiritual growth, but they are also committed to yours. They have decided to share their personal story to remind you that you are never alone. You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you.
