About this title

From the Back Cover:

"As a minister, I counsel as many women as I do men. More than any other author, Sue Patton Thoele has helped me understand what it is like to be a woman in today's culture. She writes like an angel yet somehow transcends words and communicates directly to the reader's heart. The Courage to Be Yourself is a classic, a masterpiece, yet it is so honest that each time you read it, it speaks with a fresh, new voice." -- Hugh Prather, author of The Little Book of Letting Go and Spiritual Notes to Myself.

"There is nothing more difficult than living an inauthentic life in which our deepest beliefs and dreams lay dormant. In this wonderfully inspiring and wise book, Sue Patton Thoele will guide you to discover and celebrate your deepest hopes, desires, and gloriously authentic self." -- Susan Skog, author of Radical Acts of Love.
