Brazen – Book Review
Have you ever struggled to silence the never-ending cries of the Soul Bullies – the name that Leeana Tankersley gives to the ancestral voice of the serpent who now linger in your head, hissing out challenges that threaten your very freedom?
How dare you speak up!
How dare you believe in yourself!
How dare you not know!
How dare you create a boundary!
How dare you take a single step without having it all figured out first!
Who do you think you are?
Have you ever tangled with toxic shame while feeling the desire of something greater within you desiring to emerge?
In Brazen – The Courage To Find The You That’s Hiding, Leeana Tanksersley takes us on a journey to find, free and begin living from our “Created Center” – a theological term she says that Henri Nouwen identifies as our “divinely endowed center”, Thomas Merton identifies as “the God-given center of our being”, St. Augustine calls “the divine center”, and John Calvin refers to as “the divine spark”.
The word “brazen” means “without shame” – and Brazen is Leanna’s personal invitation for you to emerge from the places you’ve been hiding – to stop living from a place of brokenness – and to start living from a place of belovedness.
If you are longing for more in life – if you love to journal, to reflect upon meaningful questions, and get fired up by the thought of creating a Brazen Board – then Brazen will speak to your spirit!
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

There is great comfort to be found in knowing yourself well. Happy Pink Saturday. Thank you for sharing.
The way she relates her “created center” terminology to famous theologians helps me understand better. Thanks for sharing at the #LMMLinkup.
So glad that explanation helped you Leslie!
I don’t think most of us would understand it without a point of reference! 🙂
I just got this one for review! Looking forward to it. Thank you for being a part of Booknificent Thursday this week.
