“Stefanie Potts' Narrative offers young parents an encouraging, insightful and uplifting, view of God's unique gift and call to parenthood. Many in today’s world have lost sight or abandoned altogether the Sacredness of Human Life. Weaving Scripture into her own personal story readers are reminded anew of God’s abundant love for them and the preciousness of each and every child from the miraculous and ‘astounding moment of conception,’ as Potts beautifully writes.”
“As the former pregnancy center executive director, my heart is filled with the stories and circumstances of so many women who are scared, confused, and alone. At the center of every story is the need to be valued and to be heard without judgment. In Defying the Narrative, Stefanie Potts shares her personal story and how the words and actions of others impacted her as she and her husband created their family in faith rather than fear. Through her varied pregnancy experiences, the narrative of family, friends, health care professionals and strangers led her to a deeper understanding of how our society has stolen the joy of motherhood, treats pregnancy as a problem rather than a blessing, considers children as burdens, and totally ignores the miracle of life. Her thoughtful book challenges readers to stand up to these narratives that have dominated for far too long. It’s time to Defy the Narrative!”
“Stefanie, my friend, congratulations on sharing Defy the Narrative with the world. This is more than a book—it is a powerful call to see human life through God's eyes. With every page, you redefine how we value each person, weaving together faith, hope, and purpose in a way that is both inspiring and transformative.
Your message reminds us that every child is a precious gift from God, created with immeasurable worth and divine purpose. In a world that often distorts the value of human life, Defy the Narrative boldly proclaims God's truth: every life matters, every life is worthy of love, and every life reflects His image.
I believe this book has the power to change hearts, reshape perspectives, and inspire countless people to embrace God's vision for humanity. And I know this is only the beginning. I can't wait to see how God uses your words to bless lives around the world. I am incredibly proud of you and honored to celebrate this remarkable achievement.”
