## Resource

She was six years old, hiding under a table in fear and decades later, she would hold the very woman who caused that fear as she took her final breath. Leah Beth's memoir How God Breathed Life Into Me is a raw, unflinching account of growing up in an Amish Mennonite home marked by rejection, rage, and silence and the long, unlikely road to genuine forgiveness. This conversation will challenge you to examine the walls you've built, the grudges you've nursed, and whether you're ready to let God into the parts of your heart you swore you'd never open. Available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
