Armour’s goal is to help readers draw closer to God—“a God who listens, a God who speaks, and a God who heals,” she writes—and she aims for that goal by sharing her personal triumphs and tragedies, many of which caused life-altering changes within her family, such as the death of her son, her need to undergo multiple surgeries, and the loss of her parents. Always, Armour reflects on how she leaned into her faith to guide her through grief, major life decisions, and setbacks that often threatened her power to move forward.
Readers will witness the journey of a woman with unfailing faith and an unwavering desire to serve; through anecdotes from her childhood, alongside her adult efforts to help others, Armour shares her work as a youth minister and beyond, giving credit for her professional victories to God—for the gifts of knowledge, healing, and discernment she’s received from him. Asserting that God has christened her “an ambassador for the faith,” she closes with a call to action for different religions to unite, reflecting that “God likes the diversity of sounds ringing from around the world.” For readers not familiar with the Catholic faith, Armour includes a glossary of related terms at the end.
Takeaway: Uplifting faith narrative emphasizing unity in God’s love.
