Mama Didn't Half-Step

Book excerpt: Heather DeBerry Stephens has written a captivating story of a mother of faith, Linnie Thomas Young. Heather has captured the essence of who Linnie was, as a mother and a woman of God. As someone who knew Linnie well, I can say that she was a woman who embraced motherhood with all her might. Heather asks the readers to examine their lives in six areas, to ensure they are not half-stepping. The author's vision is that women will read this book and make a new commitment to embrace their God-given roles as mothers in their homes. -First Lady Bethelyn Henderson Abundant Life Fellowship Church Memphis, Tennessee
