This wise book looks deeply at the decisive moments in life when we need to go, or commit to staying, to start, to accept what we cannot choose, or to step up to the plate. With an engaging mix of personal stories, Biblical examples, and stories from history and popular culture, the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington reveals that bravery is not a singular act, but a daily journey.

This book on bravery is itself a model of this virtue as this proven leader names the times she has missed the mark and the cost to her and the trust in the institutions she has led. In this vulnerability, Marianne Budde demonstrates the strength in leadership that aligns one’s work with an organization with the leader’s true beliefs and best self. There is a lot of wisdom in this book. I enjoyed listening to the author reading the audiobook and found so much richness in what she offers, that I have bought a print copy as well to mark up and return to in the future.

Kath Southgate What constitutes bravery ? Running into a burning building, or doing something we have a phobia against ?
