In Amber Albee Swenson's new book, The Key to Confidence: Where to Go When You Feel You're Not Strong Enough, you’ll discover how you can live with greater boldness and joy when you learn to find your confidence in Christ. God didn’t make you to sit on the sidelines. And once you realize where your true confidence comes from, nothing will be able to hold you back!
