World Changer: A Mother's Story

by Karen Vaughn

On August 6, 2011, thirty American soldiers aboard Extortion 17 perished in the single greatest loss of Navy SEAL lives. Among them -- Aaron Carson Vaughn, a small-town boy who grew up in the hills of Tennessee and lived a life larger than most. Told through the eyes of Karen, Aaron's mother, this tender story of faith, family, and love grips the heart and shows how one family raised an American warrior filled with courage, tenacity, and patriotism. The Vaughn's story is not one about war or about a grieving family, but rather one of triumph and God's sustaining grace. Woven throughout Karen's story is practical advice for today's parents. Also included at the end is a study guide for those who desire to go deeper and learn how to raise children who live life so well that they leave a legacy.

[Sassa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Heartfelt. Sincere. Inspirational. Plainly spoken by a Gold Star mother whose Navy SEAL Team 6 son, Aaron Vaughn, gave his life in service for our country. Karen gives us an inside look into Aaron’s childhood, young adulthood, fatherhood, accomplishments, as well as adversities. She also describes the attributes and spirit that enabled her son to persevere to complete his life goals. The book concludes with a personal guide of suggestions to raise a child with integrity, character, grit and strength.
The entire book feels as if you are sitting across the table with a wise, tried-and-tested friend, having a genuine conversation about the challenges of being a parent.

Karen captures everything it means to love America and raise a child with honor and integrity. Her deep passion for raising a World Changer is evident by the fact that she not only raised a world changer, her son Aaron Vaughn, but also continues to walk the walk and talk the talk, teaching others what true sacrifice looks like. Her book is passionate, heartfelt, and encouraging for any parent that desires to raise selfless children. An incredible read!

Inspiring and uplifting!

A worthwhile read for anyone who wants to be challenged, moved, and motivated.

The world needs more everyday heroes, and a heart of gratitude for those who sacrifice for our freedom.

A great read

I was impressed with how the author expressed her Faith in God. I was impressed with her and her husband bringing up their children to give their lives to the Lord.
