After seeing Brenda Warner speak at The Women of Faith Event in Dallas, I was interested in reading her book.  One Call Away: Answering Life’s Challenges with Unshakable Faith shares Brenda’s story from the humble beginnings of early childhood to present day and the unexpected stops along the way ~ becoming a parent of a special needs child, divorce, living in poverty, losing both her parents in a tornado, meeting and marrying Kurt Warner, and her role of wife and mother as her husband’s career transitioned from Arena Football Player to National Football League M.V.P.   Ultimately, her story is one of encouragement; she repeatedly reminds the reader that one is not defined by his/her circumstances.

Warner’s story is told using a conversational tone that is easy to read.  Although an interesting read, I was expecting a bit more than I heard from her at The Women of Faith Event.  Unfortunately, her book and her talk are one in the same.  There is no further reflection or insights provided in her writing.

While this complimentary book was provided for review by Thomas Nelson Publishers, no other compensation was given.  All remarks are my personal and honest opinions.
