Über diesen Titel
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
How We Learn to Be Brave is an inspirational guide to the key junctures in life that, if navigated with faith and discernment, pave the way for us to become our most courageous selves, by the bishop of the famed Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C.
On January 21, 2025, many Americans were introduced to Bishop Mariann Budde thanks to what The New York Times called “an extraordinary act of public resistance.” During her prayer service for Donald J. Trump’s second inauguration, Bishop Budde addressed the president directly, imploring him “to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now,” from those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community to immigrants and refugees.
But for Bishop Budde, this moment was the culmination of a lifetime spent thinking about those pivot points when we’re called on to push past our fears and act with strength. With How We Learn to Be Brave, she teaches us that being brave is not a singular occurrence; it’s a journey that we can choose to undertake every day.
Here, Bishop Budde explores the full range of decisive moments, from the most visible and dramatic (the decision to go), to the internal and personal (the decision to stay), to brave choices made with an eye toward the future (the decision to start), those born of suffering (the decision to accept that which we did not choose), and those that come unexpectedly (the decision to step up to the plate). Drawing on examples ranging from Harry Potter to the Gospel According to Luke, she seamlessly weaves together personal experiences with stories from scripture, history, and pop culture to underscore both the universality of these moments and the particular call each one of us must heed when they arrive.
With Bishop Budde’s wisdom, listeners will learn to live and to respond according to their true beliefs and in ways that align with their best selves. How We Learn to Be Brave will provide much-needed fortitude and insight to anyone searching for answers in uncertain times.

Kritikerstimmen
"With clarity, conviction, and a sure sense of the perils and the possibilities of the human condition, Bishop Mariann Budde has given us a great gift: A book that explores how God's children can stand up for the principles of His kingdom in a frail and fallen world. Courage, it has been said, is the most important virtue since it guarantees all the others, and Bishop Budde's searching account of her struggle to be brave is itself an act to be admired and absorbed."—Jon Meacham, author of The Soul of America and And There Was Light
"In sharing her story and that of others who have faced real challenges with ‘grit and grace,’ my good friend and fellow bishop Mariann Budde reminds us that extraordinary courage is possible for ordinary people. To help us she offers both the faith and the tools that make such courage possible for us."—The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and author of Love is the Way and The Power of Love
"It is easy to forget the simple, important dynamics of courageous leadership and living. Bishop Budde has given us all a thoughtful reminder."—Steve Leder, New York Times bestselling author of For You When I Am Gone

Kluge Worte einer mutigen und inspirierenden Frau
Mariann Edgar Budde nimmt uns mit zu den entscheidenden Momenten ihres Lebens seit frühester Jugend. Sie lässt uns teilhaben am Struggle ihres privaten wie beruflichen Lebens und erzählt wunderbare, wenn auch nicht immer fröhliche Geschichten über das Anfangen, Aufhören und Weitermachen. Es wäre toll, wenn es das Buch auch auf Deutsch gäbe, um noch mehr Menschen erreichen zu können.

How visions take root
7 steps of innovation individually in groups, parishes and nations Presented by Washington bishop Mariann Edgar Budde
her final words at the inauguration have gone viral. To speak out authentic feelings and fears in public can be called stupid or brave and healing. Although not publicly recorded there are a few sermons during third reich in Germany that shook a nation, where fear was one instrument of power, and are remembered until today.
Budde refers to Friedman´s guide for synagogues and churches: Generation to Generation: Family Process in Church and Synagogues: secrets poison communities, if the secrets are not being adressed, abusive systems will flourish.
Mariann Edgar Budde describes her personal way how she learned to be brave in 7 steps. Each is shown in personal reflections, in crucial biblical moments and references to the steps of others especially Martin Luther King jr.
1. Deciding to go, 2. deciding to stay 3. deciding to start 4. accepting, what you do not choose
5. stepping up to the plate 6. the inevitable letdown 7. The hidden virtue of perserverance.
Each step has been gone by all kind of movements and communities. In chapter 6: the inevitable letdown, Budde muses about the strong experience of backlash in US History, following phases of (world wide) inspiration in freedom and equality.
A book to relisten and follow up those quoted who went before - especially with the parallel view on individual ways and ways of communities of all sizes to develope and crumble and rebuild
