This book was amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked it up but it captured me from the beginning sentences and kept me reading through to the end. It really spoke to my heart. God used Nicole's words to remind me of a conversation we had started months ago and I was able to fully step out in obedience and finish what He had asked me to do. In addition, God and I are in the middle of another conversation, largely in part to Nicole's heartsearching questions and my heart is to line up with God's will on this subject as well. Without preaching or invoking a false sense of guilt, this book opens the lines of communication between our Father and ourselves as we deepen our relationship with Him. Highly recommend.

Best book I’ve read in a long time! God led me to this book & I am SO grateful! This far exceeded any expectations I had & I am so glad I purchased it so I can reference time & time again. I have an entire notebook full of quotes from this book- too many to list. Nicole is truly & clearly walking in her purpose.

This book delivers exactly what it promised in the title—it gave me courage and confidence. Nicole Salmon shares authentically and vulnerably about her own struggles, how she overcome difficult situations, and now uses her experiences to help others. This book challenged me to rethink my purpose and evaluate whether my motives come from the inside out—to free me to be who God created me to be. I like how Nicole differentiated between one's calling from specific assignments. Nicole is a wise guide who encourages you to rest and reflect when needed and keep going when you feel ready to give up.

I had the immense pleasure of receiving an advanced copy of this book and courage and confidence is just what the doctor ordered!

From the very first pages, you come face to face with the masks you’ve created to get through life and are offered an opportunity to start peeling back the layers and get back to the woman that God creates you to be.

Knowing who you are and who you were destined to be is what gives you the courage and confidence to walk boldly and confidently into the life you were always meant to lead.

This guide by the Purpose Coach, Nicole O. Salmon will help you do just that.

Excellent! Nicole knows the audience she is writing too and because of that she is able to be herself and share from a place of "let's grow together". I was deeply moved by this book and I truly believe that if you've toiled with self-worth and wanted to tear away the mask and step into all that you've been created to be grab a copy for yourself and for a friend and dive in with a highlighter and pen. You won't be disappointed. Well done Nicole!

I absolutely do not mind religion, but it is not the same as self-help or psychologically-based science. To promote a book about courage and confidence to be yourself and then add the "as long as you're close to the Holy Spirit" feels sneaky. Why do I have to be a part of a religion or be close to what Christians believe in order to be worthy of feeling courageous and confident?

A Must Read For Christian Women

Thank you Nicole for following God’s leading in your life. This book is a tremendous tool for we Christian women. Articulate, timely, personal, and most of all biblical. Your writing is a beautiful gift from God! I encourage any Christian woman to read this book. I plan on reading it again.

Courage and confidence captures your attention immediately from the first page, words of wisdom, truth, transparency and faith. As you read the book, it allows you to peel away the layers; acknowledge and bloom into the best version of you, as God has always intended.

Awesome read. I couldn't put the book down. I don't like reading, but this book was so informative and inspiring it took me two days to read, and I am reading it a second time. Even my husband was surprised when he saw me reading he had to ask what I was reading. I
recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with making a decision about their journey with God or need some clarity in making a decision. Courage and confidence can help you along that journey to UNBOX and find your Creative Self.
