Stories Of Courageous Vulnerability: The Book
Stories of Courageous Vulnerability is a book where forty human beings (from all over the world) unite in sharing their courageously vulnerable true life stories. What happens when a daughter is reunited with her father after 48 years? How do you recreate your life after medical emergencies clean out your entire retirement savings? What decisions do you make when you're five months pregnant and the father of your unborn child informs you he wants nothing to do with you or the baby? How can you have everything you ever wanted and feel an emptiness? How do you handle the opportunity to heal the connection with your with your parent as they are breathing their last breaths? What do you do when sweet girls from the slums tell you they are interested in an education? "In a moment of divine grace, if we are willing, if we have the courage to drop all of our pretenses and facades...all that remains is who we really are. In it's purest form, the courage it takes for people to go to this place of vulnerability is so powerful that words can not describe it. It simply...takes our breath away" ~RT
