Together We Are Stronger: We Are All Different Yet the Same (Paperback or Softback)

Come, sit quietly, sipping a cup of tea, and open your heart as twelve women share their stories, and Emra teaches respect and love for one another. We are all different, yet the same. We live in the same city, yet are so different in many areas. We are different in ethnicity and race, disability, generation, gender, socio-economic status, and personality style and emotion. Yet we are the same in our basic human needs.

Together We Are Stronger. Do you believe we are stronger together? Whether you said yes or no, do you know why?

Be encouraged to respect the differences in each other, and grow in a love for one another. Each section of this book focuses on a different aspect of diversity and how we can learn to love one another, be kinder, more respectful, and build stronger communities. God can make the impossible possible.
