I am reviewing a copy of Go Bravely through Ave Maria Press and Netgalley:


This book that reminds us that even the smaller acts of Faith require a great deal of bravery.


This book is geared toward young Christian Woman, and reminds us that despite insecurities and pressures we can Go Bravely in our Faith.


This book will help a young woman to grow in Faith. Emily Wilson Hussem offers the readers twenty pieces of advice and offers encouragement.


I give Go Bravely five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!

Not my thing, bu I'm sure others could take alot away from it and would definitely enjoy it more than I did.

This is completely my fault, but going into this novel it was not what I expected it to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the cover art and the concept but it was not the book for me. I was let down by my inability to thoroughly read the synopsis it seems.

Growing up, I was raised Southern Baptist Christian. This book is very Catholic and there were points that I did not wholly agree with. I was not able to really place myself in the authors shoes and see it from her point of view. It was very one sided to me.

Although it is encouraging and a worthwhile read, I believe it would better suit a young woman of the Catholic faith.

An interesting book which provides reassurance to young women on how they can be themselves in a difficult world.

Whilst targeted towards Christian young women, many of the pages will resonate with all ages and people of different faiths or non faith.

Thank you to Net Gallery for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a delightful book about self love and friendship between women. There were part of this book I couldn't relate to, as someone who's not religious but I still loved the message. It was uplifting and brave. My favorite part of Go Bravely was how much it stressed the importance of being kind to women. I LOVE that message. I was glad I got a chance to read something outside of my comfort zone, I really enjoyed it and the message will stay with me long after.

As a Christian Woman living in today's world, this book resonated with me so much. I started reading this just after the church service and I could not stop highlighting quotes from this book. It was just so amazing. However, there was times when I didn't completely agree but that is just a personal gripe and nothing to do with the writing or the book itself. One of my favourite quotes from this book is 'when we give each day to God, we are inviting him into our lives more fully, and we are able to surrender to a dependence on his will and his strength throughout the day' and I so think that is true. We should try to live every day 'bravely' in God. Ave Maria Press, you are welcome to send me any books like this in the future because I was truly in awe of this book.

Girl power! This book is stunning. I was highlighting all over the place. If you are a woman of faith or are interested in learning more about the faith, I urge you to pick up this book. There is something in here that will speak to your heart. Thank you to Emily Wilson Hussem for writing such soul-filled work.
