Publisher's summary

Winner of a 2020 Excellence in Publishing Award from the Association of Catholic Publishers (third place, spirituality).

As a parent, do you struggle with trusting God’s will for your life and for those you love? Are you tired and afraid?

In Be Brave in the Scared, Catholic writer Mary Lenaburg shares how the overwhelming demands of caring for her severely disabled daughter ultimately taught her - and can teach you - that trusting in God and accepting his will can lead to profound joy, no matter what challenges you face.

Be Brave in the Scared is an uplifting account of human frailty (and stubbornness) surrendered to faith. Lenaburg tells the heart-rending story of how caring for her severely disabled daughter affected her self-image, marriage, family life, and faith.

Although she initially struggled to accept God’s will and her own limitations, Lenaburg ultimately learned how to trust God. She found in that trust inexplicable joy, even during the most difficult days of her life. She writes boldly and authentically about challenges we all encounter, such as trials with control, blame, exhaustion, fear, and acceptance.

Each chapter concludes with an invitation to write and a place for listeners to express their thoughts and feelings. Lenaburg’s extraordinary story affirms that God’s redeeming love never fails and that he is there to help us through all of the challenges we encounter.

Marriage Prep

Wow! What an incredible testimony to His works. As a wife and mother, her story resonates with me so well. I wish more young couples could read her book so when they face hardships they look for God’s Grace like Mary had

Keeping it real

I'm so glad the author Mary Lenaburg narrated the book since it's such an honest and genuine memoir. You'll be encouraged by her relatable account of where she has been and what she has learned from life's challenges. Even though I don't share many of the same types of life experiences she recounts, she identifies and defangs many of the common underlying fears and beliefs (or lies) that keep many people stuck in unproductive patterns.
