One Call Away by Brenda Warner

One Call Away: Answering Life’s Challenges with Unshakable Faith by Brenda Warner is a memoir written with great vulnerability. Brenda gives the reader a front row seat to some extremely difficult seasons in her life. She helps us appreciate the fact that although most of the world sees her as the wife of Super Bowl Champion quarterback Kurt Warner, her life has been defined by much more than that. She experienced tragedy in more ways than one as a young woman, and shares how her faith in God has been the sustaining strength through it all. She admits to many mistakes and shares of her triumphs as well. She talks about how her identity has been shaped by all the places life and her own personal choices have taken her.
It took me a few chapters to really get into this book. Once I got involved in the story and could really start to get a feel for who Brenda is and what her life was/is like I could not put the book down.  Although ‘interesting’ isn’t the most colorful adjective, it really does describe the book. For me, this wasn’t a life changing book where I walked away feeling inspired necessarily, but it was extremely interesting to read about all the things that Brenda Warner has been through in her life and how it has all played out.
