Download or read book Imperfect Courage written by Jessica Honegger and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to make a move but scared to leave your comfort zone? Go anyway. “Jessica's perspective of global sisterhood and the power of lifting each other up in the midst of fear and scarcity is exactly what we need today. This book is both an invitation and a challenge to bravely show up for ourselves, for the people we love, and for the strangers that we will one day call family. I say, Amen!” —Brené Brown, Ph.D., Author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Braving the Wilderness In Imperfect Courage, the founder of the popular fair trade jewelry brand Noonday Collection shares her story of starting the rapid-growing business that impacts over 4,500 artisans in vulnerable communities across the globe—and invites readers on a journey of transformation, challenging them to trade their comfort zones for a life of impact and adventure. In 2015, Inc. magazine recognized Noonday Collection as one of the fastest-growing companies in America. But years earlier, as Jessica Honegger stood at a pawn-shop counter in Austin, Texas, and handed over her grandmother's gold jewelry, her goal was much more personal: to fund the adoption of her Rwandan son, Jack, by selling artisan-made jewelry. This first step launched an unexpected side-hustle that would grow into Noonday Collection. Jessica embarked on this new journey and teamed up with her first artisan partner, Jalia, a Ugandan jewelry maker. She saw the meaningful impact Noonday brought to Jalia's community and knew it was the right move. Fear crept into Jessica's heart as she realized her success, or failure, meant the same for Jalia. But refusing to let fear hinder her goals, Jessica found the necessary (if imperfect) courage she needed along the way--the courage to leave comfort and embrace a life of risk and impact. Discover Your Imperfect Courage In Imperfect Courage, Jessica takes you by the hand and invites you to trade your comfort zone for a life of impact and meaning. • First, she invites you to draw a circle of compassion around yourself and leads you through some soul-searching aimed at setting you free from shame. • Next, she challenges all of us to come together, dare to be vulnerable with one another, and commit to building a culture of collaboration. • Finally, Jessica calls on you to broaden your circle of compassion to embrace the entire globe--and to bring your beautifully imperfect courage to a world that needs you.

Book excerpt: ‘Here in Africa, two wives is nothing. You white people just have affairs. You lie and cheat. At least we’re honest.’ Lenuta ‘Hellen’ Nadolu has led a tumultuous life. A strong-willed free spirit, she was born and raised in communist Romania, where women were supposed to know their place. At the age of nineteen, her life changed when she started seeing a handsome African doctor named Victor and fell pregnant. To avoid the wrath of Hellen’s domineering father and an unforgiving community, the couple married and then, against everyone’s advice, moved to Ghana. But Africa was nothing like Hellen had imagined: Victor considered her merely a possession with few rights and expected her to turn a blind eye to his affairs. Pushed to the brink, she made a desperate decision – she would get a divorce and smuggle her three children out of the country. But no Western woman had ever divorced a Ghanaian man – let alone been granted custody of the children – and Victor’s powerful family would not give her up without a fight … Give Me Courage is an inspiring true story of survival and escape.

Book excerpt: "At times, he enviously regarded the wounded soldiers. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be peculiarly happy. He wished that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage."― Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage The story is about Henry Fleming, an Eighteen-year-old Private in the army who has romantic notions about war's glories. He wonders whether he will remain brave in the face of fear or run like a coward if and when he finally goes to his first battle. It's been a while since he enlisted but until then he hasn't seen any action yet. His worry was comforted when a friend named Jim Conklin admitted that he would run from battle if his fellow soldiers also fled. Henry eventually fought in a battle and, at first, he doesn't do too badly but in the second round of fighting, his fear grew and he deserts his regiment. In his flee, Henry encountered more soldiers- some injured and dying, most in a state of disarray. Ashamed, conflicted, and feeling guilty, Henry tries to rationalize his decision. Henry wasn't injured in the battle but was hit in the head by a panicked soldier. Exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and now wounded, Henry decides to come back to his regiment. When he came back, the other soldiers thought he was injured while fighting with them. Henry goes on to his next battle comforted by the thought that his cowardice was unnoticed and he proved himself to be a decent soldier. From then Henry's internal conflict, his reflection on his previous actions, his bravery and cowardice pursue. They say it takes more courage to retreat than to advance. Join Henry as he dwells on which is more important to him between life and honor. Add to cart and get your copy now!

Download or read book Defiant Courage written by Astrid Karlsen Scott and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I remember reading We Die Alone in 1970 and I could never forget it. Then when we went to Norway to do a docudrama, people told us again and again that certain parts were pure fiction. Since I was a Norwegian that was not good enough; I had to find the truth. I sincerely believe we did,” writes author Astrid Karlsen Scott. Defiant Courage is the true story of what Jan Baalsrud endured as he tried to escape from the Gestapo in Norway’s Troms District. In late March 1943, in the midst of WWII, four Norwegian saboteurs arrived in northern Norway on a fishing cutter and set anchor in Toftefjord to establish a base for their operations. However, they were betrayed, and a German boat attacked the cutter, creating a battlefield and spiraling Jan Baalsrud into the adventure of his life. The only survivor and wounded, Baalsrud begins a perilous journey to freedom, swimming icy fjords, climbing snow-covered peaks, enduring snowstorms, and getting caught in a monstrous avalanche. Suffering from snowblindness and frostbite, more than sixty people of the Troms District risk their lives to help Baalsrud to freedom. Meticulously researched for more than five years, Karlsen Scott and Haug bring forth the truth behind this captivating, edge-of-your-seat, real-life survival story.
