Endorsement from back cover:
"Before reading The Essence of Courage I never ever saw the connection between the fruit of the Spirit and Proverbs 31, and certainly not real fruit/essential oils! This has indeed been enlightening in a fun, fragrant, and fruitful way. Definitely made me ponder the connections and thank God for how He so masterfully connects EVERYTHING He does with such intentionality.
"Cinnamah-Brosia is real, she's been tested, she has been blessed by the wisdom and love of her grandmother, who both taught and modeled biblical truths. She shares her own wisdom and love, emboides the Proverbs 31 woman, and is maturing into a Titus 2 woman!" Karen Spencer, Titus 2 Women's Ministry, Renewal Church, Memphis, Tennessee
