Courageous Faith

Resilience is a hallmark of the African American community, especially for women. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t moments when they want to give up. Courageous Faith is not just an inspirational memoir but a self-help guide on persevering in the face of adversity. Former Miss America Dr. Debbye Turner Bell exposes intimate details of her life in order to encourage readers to trust God. Women will experience a revitalization of their faith and be encouraged to continue on despite what life throws at them.
