Summary

“The defining experiences in our lives … usually come from our hardest times. The hand of the Lord is at work in our lives, and we really can’t forget that.” Sister Denise Posse Lindberg, former Young Women general board member, describes how she felt guided by the Lord through difficulties and discouragement. From her childhood in Cuba to her conversion in New York and through her life as a wife, mother, attorney and advocate for religious freedom she strives to trust the Lord. In doing so, Denise urges women to not judge … and to be especially kind and gentle with each other.
