Publisher's Synopsis
10th Anniversary Edition!
There is no one else like you.
You are an exceptional work of art.
You are special, unique, and original.
If all this is true, then why do we strive so hard for most of our lives to look and act like everyone else? We spend more time trying to reinvent ourselves than we do getting to know ourselves. It is critical to know you, love you, and value you so that you can be and do all you were created for.
Did you know there is somebody on this earth waiting for you to be you? When you are being you . . . the you God created you to be . . . lives will be changed, history will be made, and prayers will be answered. If you don't dream it, create it, write it, tell it, sing it, or build it, it will never be done. Lives are literally at stake.
Part memoir and part self-help book, Do You Have the Courage to Be You? tells the story of Jenny Williamson and how she left her ordinary, comfortable life to start an international nonprofit that creates safe homes for children being sold for sex. Her journey of purpose guides readers to find their unique identity and uncover their passion, calling, and mission for life. What does it mean to have the courage to be you? What thought patterns or belief systems keep you stuck? What will you need to face the challenges? Jenny answers these questions in this revised edition of this powerful book. Reading it might just set you on the path to fulfilling your destiny.
Reviews
"People who work with human trafficking victims, I call courageous - Jenny Williamson is one of those people. This book details her journey to helping young girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking. But it is more. This book is about you and me finding the courage to be and do all God created us to. Read it! You'll be encouraged and challenged." -Jeremy Affeldt, Former Pitcher & World Series Champion, San Francisco Giants
"Jenny and her tireless team see the human being that has been brutally exploited and set about to nourish her young soul back into health and possibility. They give a girl a chance to make the courageous choice to run away from her trafficker because there will be a loving circle of arms to fall into." -Mira Sorvino, Academy Award-winning Actress, United Nations Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking
