What Others Are Saying:
This book speaks to nearly everyone!
This book is so timely. Many of my friends are facing really difficult things. I know there have always been struggles, but it seems that recently there is a ratcheting up of scary, stressful events. I have friends facing life altering, shake-up events more frequently and more intensely than any of my (mature) friends have seen in our lifetime. In this book, Michele redirects our thinking. She points out that these struggles come with big opportunities to examine our faith and to ask ourselves important questions like, “who do we believe God is,” or “do I trust Him?” Michele tells us this testing of our faith is nothing to run from. Her book is a Biblical reminder to face our fears. You will appreciate the many real-life examples that have tested her and her friends and rattled them to see what they believe. Michele addresses strengthening our spiritual disciplines and the absolute necessity to build our faith as this world comes at us at a pace we are not used to. “If we aren’t reading and studying God’s Word, how can He remind us of who He is, how faithful He is, and what His promises are?” You’ll be glad you read this!
Michele Howe’s new book is a must read!
From the first words in the Introduction, I felt Michele’s words speaking to me. Like her other books, she is both gentle and powerful in bringing God’s message to us through real experiences. Michele’s writing is thoughtful and deliberate in its purpose and reminds readers of God’s presence during times of hardship and joy.
Excellent, Thought-Provoking, Book!
Michele Howe’s book, Brave Faith for Hard Things arrived at the perfect time for me after experiencing some extra difficult things this past year. The book is full of Scripture principles and practical advice on how to wade through life’s hard things successfully. I would highly recommend this book to any person who desires to deepen their trust in God, grow in holiness, and develop a more biblical perspective on life’s challenges.
A vivid reminder that wherever our foot steps, He is already there!
In Brave Faith for Hard Things, Michele offers a tender yet unwavering reminder that the Christian life is not defined by the absence of struggle, but by the presence of a faithful God who walks with us through every trial. Many believers falter when a “hard thing” enters their lives, yet Michele gently reorients our perspective, emphasizing that Scripture never promises a life free from difficulty. Instead, she builds each chapter upon the central truth that Jesus is already present in every step we take. Her writing awakens the reader’s awareness of God’s surrounding love and steadfast protection, inviting us to see our challenges through the lens of His sovereignty. The recurring assurance that “wherever our foot steps, He is already there” becomes a comforting anchor throughout the book. As the pages turn, Michele consistently lifts our eyes to the majesty of God, offering encouragement without sentimentality and hope without denial of reality. Brave Faith for Hard Things is both a companion and a challenge—calling readers to trust God not only at the beginning of a trial, but throughout the entire journey. Michele’s voice is warm, steady, and deeply encouraging, making this book a meaningful guide for anyone navigating life’s “hard things.”
