A transformative way of leadership grounded in the power of resilience and faith.

Have you ever stood on a thin line between the old and new chapters of your life, wondering how it would all unfold, unsure if it would be for the better? Have you ever questioned the doors God has opened?

Reflecting vulnerably on her own experiences, Bethny Ricks offers a unique perspective on hope, leadership, and resilience; proving that faith, even in the face of life's most daunting challenges, can serve as a guiding light leading you back to your purpose and back to Jesus Christ.

Through honest stories of her own professional failures, struggles with parenting, and frustrations with God, you will learn:

  • How to break free from the chains of doubt and discover your true identity.
  • How to stay focused on God's plans for you and avoid distractions that can derail your journey.
  • How to establish healthy boundaries at work and in your relationships to protect your well-being.
  • How to embrace the "power of pausing" and discover how to cope with setbacks.
  • How to show up authentically, remain resilient under pressure, and uphold your personal convictions.

    • Face Forward is a powerful guide for anyone seeking to navigate life's ongoing challenges with strength and unwavering faith.

        “God’s love transcends every bruise, mistreatment, and setback,” according to this empowering debut guide from former corporate executive Ricks. Recalling how she climbed the ranks to become the youngest senior vice president at ScottsMiracle-Gro, Ricks describes the self-doubt she faced before a health crisis forced her to find new ways to protect her self-worth. Ricks advises readers to stop relying on others’ approval by eschewing “hollow promises made to appease ” and “words that merely stroke your ego,” and refusing “to contort who you are to fit in.” Elsewhere, she encourages readers to get clearer on their priorities (for example, by considering whether God believes the “item, idea, or rhythm... you have introduced into your life is beneficial”), reframe failure as a chance to cultivate resilience, and become more empowered decision-makers. While some might wish for more concrete advice—the book consists mostly of guided self-reflection, and questions such as “What is the posture of my heart?” can feel vague—others will appreciate Ricks’s can-do attitude, which is grounded in intimate disclosures from her personal and professional life (including the challenges of being one of the only Black women at a corporation’s executive level). Believers seeking a fresh start will be energized.
