"In recent years Bishop Mariann Budde has become known for offering the right words at the
right time creating moments of healing amid turmoil. With How We Learn to Be Brave she
teaches readers to respond with clarity and grace even in the toughest times. Being brave is
not a singular occurrence it's a journey that we can choose to undertake every day. The
decisive moments in life are those pivot points when we're called upon to push past our fears
and act with strength. Drawing on examples ranging from Harry Potter to the Gospel According to

history and pop culture to underscore both the universality of these moments and the
particular call each one of us must heed when they arrive"--
