Endorsement:

I am impressed by Ms. Henne's writings on 'gentleness.' Initially, she peeks around a corner with some trepidation to explore gentleness, at first for her children. She ends up inviting us into her journey, which expands and deepens into considerations from scripture in Greek and Hebrew. She continues our journey into questions of leadership, connections, self-control, kindness, humility, grace, and social connection. The path is deep and transformative. We end up sitting on the edge of our chair to discover what comes next. I am intrigued and changed. Thank you, Debbie, for this text that not only inspires but also challenges.
