Critics Review
-
“Once again, Sharon Brown has provided an inspirational story that allows readers to shadow four women as they continue their spiritual journey…With a powerful companion guide for prayer and conversation, this book is ideal for anyone dealing with loss, abuse, fear, anxiety, or insecurities. It reminds us all with a gentle touch that we are born in the image of God and we are worthy of being loved.”
Julie Cantrell, New York Times bestselling author
-
“Two Steps Forward offers spiritual insights of the rarest beauty about both the pain and the peace at the ‘growing edges’ in our life with God. Like Sensible Shoes, this book is a gift and blessing to all who long for Emmanuel.”
Rebecca Konyndyk DeYoung, author of Glittering Vices
-
“For me, these women have become sacred companions on my own journey…My own heart has been enlarged for more of Jesus as a result of Two Steps Forward!”

-
“I gobbled it up, reading it far too fast while not wanting the experience to end. I loved reading about Mara’s trip to London—her description of a Tube ride is spot on—and the other women’s support of each other through their various struggles. The way the author conveys the transforming nature of their spiritual growth is brilliant and compelling.”
Amy Boucher Pye, author of Finding Myself in Britain
