There are so many moments in life when we choose to silence our
intuition, abandon our own voice, and play small because we wonder,
deep down: "Do I know who I really am? Is who I really am enough?"
It's courageous work to learn to live from our essential
identity--loved, worthy, whole. But what if God is calling us to
shamelessly recover the woman he created us to be? What if God is
urging us to be--for the first time in our lives--brazen?
The word brazen means without shame. Leeana
Tankersley wants women to be just that--to unapologetically move
from shame- and fear-based living toward lives that are based on
love and belonging. With moving personal stories and spot-on
observations of the longings we all experience--to know we are
loved, to feel comfortable in our own skin, to be heard--Tankersley
calls women to honor that voice deep down inside of them rather
than bowing to outside influences that push them to become someone
they're not. Gritty and overflowing with grace, Brazen will set
women free to be truly themselves in a world bent on molding them
in its image.
"Leeana's words have taught me how to be at home with
myself."--Myquillyn Smith, The Nester; author of The Nesting
Place
There are so many moments in life when we choose to silence our
intuition, abandon our own voice, and play small, because of that
accusing voice inside that whispers, "Who do you think you are,
anyway?"
Who you are is a human--loved, worthy, and becoming. Who you are is
a woman created by God to be and to do something unique. Who you
are, deep down, is brazen.
Brazen means "without shame." Leeana Tankersley wants you to
own that--to unapologetically claim who and whose you are and to
know that you are enough. With moving personal stories and spot-on
observations of the longings we all experience--to know we are
loved, to feel comfortable in our own skin, to be heard--Tankersley
invites you to receive your identity, to reclaim your voice, and to
recover your soul.
Gritty and overflowing with grace, Brazen can set you free
to be truly yourself in a world bent on molding you into its own
image.

of Atlas Girl and Making It Home
"If you ever feel inclined to apologize for your own existence in
this world, then please, please read this insightful,
