Born to Be Brave

A Compassionate Journey Through Life

De: Portia Louder

Narrado por: Portia Louder

This book is an inspiring account of family faith and perseverance. In Born to be Brave we learn how to confront the pain and claim the love that exists for all of us. A narrative of human suffering, connection and bravery.

There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes it involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. Sometimes it involves walking out of the prison of your childhood and leaving the bitterness and hatred behind. And sometimes it involves living in the gap between two worlds and facing yourself, which may be the hardest of all things to face.

Portia Louder recounts her formative years along-side her brothers and sisters. She shares stories of bravery that are applicable to anyone. How do you fight despair and remain tender, generous and hopeful?

As people dig through their struggles they find truth, faith and life lessons. Manny shows tenderness towards the people who are in his former shoes. You don't have to listen too long to start cheering Manny on. The message of this book is that evil can be overcome.

Life isn't the way it's supposed to be, it's just the way it is. Through pruning, positioning, and reframing—we are able to blossom as we make peace with our pain and accept the greater purpose of every experience and emotion endured.

The foundation of family is where it all begins. Together these personal and inspirational accounts call listeners to embrace the mountaintops as well as the valleys. A path marked by optimism, hope and resolve.

Born to be Brave is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
