Читать книгу Daring to Fight - Victoria Mininger - Страница 2

“I first met Victoria at a book launch signing for one of Michael Hyatt’s new books, Living Forward.

As we stood there in line waiting to get our books signed, we struck up a conversation that would change both of our lives forever.

I immediately observed that Victoria was truly genuine. As she began to share more of her story, I realized that I was standing in front of someone who had overcome tremendous obstacles and raging storms.

In fact, not only did she survive, but Victoria thrived in her life and business because of her willingness to Dare to Fight. She is the perfect example of showing someone who is struggling with depression and anxiety how to stand on their own two feet and truly fight for their healing and health.

If you or someone you know is facing silent shame or struggling in silence, please give them this book and remind them they are not alone. Victoria has been there and she is ready to lead the way and walk alongside you to help you heal and fight your way to freedom.”

“Scripture holds a lot of healing power, but sometimes we need more than a simple, ‘I’ll pray for you’ or ‘Just have more faith.’ In the throws of deep depression, sometimes you need someone to sit by you, reminding you of your worth. Our worth in God’s eyes never changes. Daring to Fight gives concrete, illuminating insight into the world of deep depression and how this woman of God pulled herself out of the abyss and into leading others into the light as they traverse this rocky and lonely road.”

“From the moment I saw Victoria sitting on the coach … in her jeans and work boots typing out a story for a small bible study, I knew there was a book fighting to come out. Watching from the sidelines as she has fought through the fears with courage and shared her story on paper has been captivating. The words in Daring to Fight give us all hope that the darkness can give way to light and shine beauty in the most difficult places.”

“Daring to Fight starts a conversation that is much needed in the church as mental health becomes a prominent issue in our society. Victoria is the ideal person to initiate this conversation since she openly shares her own struggles and graciously challenges others through that experience. She handles this topic with care as one who has been there and is now committed to encouraging others in their fight for freedom. Anyone who reads her story, whether struggling with depression or not, will definitely be challenged and inspired.”

“As someone who’s personally battled depression for years, I can say one thing, Daring To Fight is a timely and much-needed book. Too many live in shame when facing dark seasons, which makes it difficult to let people in, the one thing that would help them not feel like they are battling this fight alone. Well-meaning friends give their best advice but many times what is lacking is practical guidance that can point people in the right direction. In Daring To Fight, my friend, Victoria Mininger lays out a blueprint for what it takes to battle depression head-on with grit, grace, and faith from a strong foundation in God’s Word to intentional rhythms. This book is a must-read for anyone facing dark seasons.”

“Daring to Fight is not only a book about courage, but a book of courage providing hope and insight in dealing with the realities of depression and ambition. Victoria doesn’t hide her emotions and bravely shares the self-talk she utilized along the journey; allowing us to see how she embraced God’s plan for her in overcoming the many challenges in her life. Her vulnerability and real-ness in sharing her life lessons made the book engaging and hard to put down.”
