“FIND your Brave” By: Holly Wagner book Review:
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9
There are seasons in life when courage doesn't look like climbing mountains or making life-changing decisions.
Sometimes courage looks like getting out of bed.
Starting over.
Trusting God when you can't see what's ahead.
Taking one faithful step, even when your heart feels uncertain.
That's exactly why I picked up Find Your Brave.
As someone who values personal growth, quiet faith, and intentional living, I was looking for a book that would encourage me to lean into courage—not by relying on my own strength, but by trusting God's plan.
This book was exactly the reminder I needed.
About the Book
Title: Find Your Brave
Genre: Christian Inspiration / Personal Growth
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Find Your Brave encourages readers to face fear with faith, embrace the purpose God has placed on their lives, and move forward one courageous step at a time.
Rather than promising an easy path, the book reminds us that bravery is often found in our willingness to trust God, even when the future feels uncertain.
What I Loved
One of my favorite things about this book is its reminder that courage isn't the absence of fear.
It's choosing faith over fear.
Throughout the chapters, I found myself reflecting on the ways God calls us beyond our comfort zones—not because He expects perfection, but because He promises to walk beside us.
The writing feels encouraging and uplifting without being overwhelming, making it a wonderful companion for morning quiet time or evening reflection.
Lessons I Took Away
🌿God equips us for what He calls us to.
So often we wait until we feel "ready" before stepping into something new.
But God doesn't ask us to have all the answers.
He simply asks us to trust Him.
Growth begins outside our comfort zone.
The most meaningful seasons of our lives often begin with one small act of obedience.
Even when we're afraid.
Courage is built one faithful step at a time.
Bravery isn't always loud.
Sometimes it's choosing hope.
Sometimes it's praying through uncertainty.
Sometimes it's believing that God is still working behind the scenes.
This became one of my favorite books to pair with my morning routine.
Picture this:
A cozy chair
A warm cup of coffee
Soft twinkle lights
My Bible
A journal
A candle burning nearby
Peaceful worship music
Find Your Brave beside my devotional
Those quiet mornings became moments of reflection, prayer, and renewed confidence in God's faithfulness.
Pair It With :
My daily Bible reading
Prayer journaling
Bible journaling
A gratitude journal
A Loaded Bible study session
Together, these practices helped me slow down, listen for God's voice, and remember that true confidence comes from Him—not from having everything figured out.
Favorite Takeaway
The biggest lesson I carried away from this book is simple:
You don't have to know every step before taking the first one.
God is already there.
His plans are always greater than our fears.
When we place our trust in Him, we can move forward with courage, knowing we're never walking alone.
Who I Think Would Love This Book
I recommend Find Your Brave if you are:
Looking for Christian encouragement
Walking through a season of change
Starting a new chapter in life
Growing in your faith
Learning to overcome fear and self-doubt
Building a consistent quiet-time routine
Looking for an uplifting gift for a friend
Final Thoughts
Life has a way of stretching us beyond what feels comfortable.
But every time we choose faith over fear, we discover that God's grace is enough.
Find Your Brave reminded me that courage isn't about being fearless—it's about trusting the One who goes before us.
Whether you're navigating a difficult season, beginning something new, or simply longing to grow closer to Christ, I hope this book encourages you to take your next step with confidence.
Because the bravest thing we can do is place our lives in God's hands.
