Heather has a gift for writing! Before she wrote any books, her blog was instrumental in my progress of discovering how much God really loves women. She has opened my eyes and heart to a lot of women throughout the scriptures and I am so grateful to her for sharing her voice. I highly recommend all three of her books!
