No longer just playing a role in her home, her church and her world, her words are an encouragement to move beyond hiding behind a façade and becoming an authentic witness. She liberally shares God's Word which became real in her pursuit and gives us the assurance that God will direct us as we seek to remove the masks in our own lives.

Study questions at the end of each chapter make this the perfect book for a glorious spiritual makeover. I loved it!
