"We owe Martha an apology." The author grabbed my attention with her first words and drew me in to a book filled with grace, mercy, redemption, and influence. Through the stories of various biblical women--some we know and others we don't--Lori Roeleveld shows us that no matter who we are or how insignificant we may feel, God uses us to impact others. Her perspective is refreshing, her insights are encouraging, her words are easy to read, and her pages are full of truth. I'm grateful for Graceful Influence and highly recommend it for personal reading or group discussion.--Twila Belk (aka The Gotta Tell Somebody Gal), author and speaker
