    About this ebook

    How often does fear hold you back from living your life to the fullest? Join New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and speaker Annie F. Downs as she shares a call to embrace the God-given courage living inside you.

    Annie is the first to admit that she's not exactly the bravest woman in the world. Even now, she still cries sometimes when she leaves her parents' home in Georgia, she's never jumped out of a plane, and she only rides roller coasters to impress guys. But Annie knows that courage resides inside each one of us, and she's on a mission to conquer her own fears while encouraging you to do the same.

    Let's All Be Brave is more than a book; it's a battle cry. Annie uses honest and often humorous illustrations from her own life, contemporary real-life examples from the lives of others, and fascinating biblical stories to challenge you to:

    • Discover God's surprising answers to overcoming fear, uncertainty, and anxiety
    • Let go of the things that hold you back--relationships, comfort zones, expectations, and more
    • Say yes to both small and big things
    • Live boldly and sacrificially for God and others
    • Hold on to hope, trust God, and be brave no matter your circumstances

     

    This book is your call to step into those places that require courage, giving you the help you need to take the next step forward—even when it's scary.

    Praise for Let's All Be Brave:

    "There are certain types of people who are capable of nudging us toward courage without making us feel small or insignificant, and Annie is at the front of the line. She has done that with Let's All Be Brave, and before you even mean to, you are putting your YES on the table."

    --Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author of For the Love and Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire

      After reading “That Sounds Fun” and absolutely connecting with it, I couldn’t wait to go back and read more of Annie’s words. This book did not disappoint. Such good truth that points us back to Jesus. Thank you Annie for sharing your words.
    • 3/5
      I liked how the author shared a lot about her life and used her own experiences as illustrations. The theme is about being brave when God tells you to step into something new. It's encouraging and would be good for group discussion.
