DESCRIPTION:
With moving personal stories and spot-on observations of the longings we all experience - to know we are loved, to feel comfortable in our own skin, to be heard - Tankersley calls women to honor that voice deep down inside of them rather than bowing to outside influences that push them to become someone they're not. But what if God is calling us to shamelessly recover the woman he created us to be? What if God is urging us to be - for the first time in our lives - brazen? The word brazen means without shame. There are so many moments in life when we choose to silence our intuition, abandon our own voice, and play small because we wonder, deep down: "Do I know who I really am? Is who I really am enough?" It's courageous work to learn to live from our essential identity - loved, worthy, whole. Gritty and overflowing with grace, Brazen will set women free to be truly themselves in a world bent on molding them in its image.. Leeana Tankersley wants women to be just that - to unapologetically move from shame- and fear-based living toward lives that are based on love and belonging
a must read! A. Lambert This book has been such a blessing to me! I have always had a very low self esteem and tend to stick to the background in any situation. This book is all about being Brazen, or without shame! I don't need to feel like I don't deserve the best, to be noticed, to be loved, to create, and stand out - I can wear beautiful hot pink if I want without feeling like an Easter egg! Haha! I can say what I mean and not feel shy about it, I can sing without embarrassment, and not feel guilty about spending time that's just for me! This book has started me in the right direction, and obviously these changes will take time and effort on my part, but it i. You are that girl!!! Jaclyn Carrasco Leeana has a way of speaking/writing.For any of you who saw the movie "Pretty Woman" - remember when Richard Gere's character is talking to Julia Roberts' character and she says, and I paraphrase, "it is easier to believe the bad stuff"? In this book, Leeana addresses the "soul bullies" which are those voices that tell you that you are not good enough, who knock you down, who question everything that you do. You can be brazen (and not be a hussy); you can be anyone you want to be; you can stand up for yourself; and, you can, as Leeana states, "be that girl". Leeana also states "the hard lesson of learning to walk with myself like a compani. wise and funny, Leeana Tankersley reminds us to listen to the Brazen is water to my soul! Vulnerable, wise and funny, Leeana Tankersley reminds us to listen to the sacred parts of ourselves, and to make peace with the "Soul Bullies". "God whispers to me, 'Don't put your best energy toward contempt, self-consciousness. Don't spend your time feeding the Soul Bullies. Put your best energy toward loving and holding and creating and dancing and laughing". Love, love, love the message of this book!
