Charaia Rush
Author of Courageously Soft
"As someone who has the privilege of knowing Bethny outside of her successful career, Face Forward reads not like the coaching of a renowned leadership expert (she is) but like a tender heart-to-heart from a friend I know and hold dear. She has invited us into her fine-tuned expertise and deeply loving heart. She has cracked her life wide open and laid bare the wisdom of her experiences and the hard-fought hopefulness that comes from knowing her father in heaven. For anyone who is caught looking behind, bethny invites us to the hopeful journey forward and shows us the victory that is possible and, by God's grace, eminent, even after we stumble."
