The Audacious Molly Bruno

"THE AUDACIOUS MOLLY BRUNO is full of wit, spiritual insights, practical life lessons, and a mouth-watering meatball recipe to boot! My Aunt Molly loved and followed Jesus like few others I have ever met, and in this book Marie beautifully shares her mother's life-changing lessons that can only come from someone who spent decades feasting on God's Word and walking with the Savior. Get this book and grab a seat at Molly's kitchen table. I promise... you won't leave hungry!"--Rev. Dr. Michael Luciano, Executive Director, Calvary Baptist Church, New York, N.Y. "Told from a daughter's perspective and injected with lots of humor, this unique book is most of all a testimony to a life lived in total, unswerving devotion to Jesus Christ."--Carol Tornquist, author at Alfred Music Publishing and friend of Marie "This dynamite woman of prayer, Molly Bruno, models how an ordinary mother can partner with God in shaping the world! Ms. Molly's deep, personal, intimate relationship with the Risen Christ produced a passionate love for human souls and left a trail of irrefutable miracles! Read this book and your life is forever changed! In their sunset years, I was honored to serve as Pastor Bruno and Molly Bruno's pastor, officiate at their Memorial Service and to know firsthand their prayer lives. It was the real deal."--Ralph Duncan, Pastor, Grace Land Community Church, Franklin, TN "The Heavenly Father afforded me a great blessing... being born to Molly Bruno. Mom served faithfully as a pastor's wife, and influenced countless women by her Godliness and matronly guidance. Everything I've done in my own life has been shaped by my Mom's strong principles and rock-solid character. As in Ephesians, she was a 'giant of a warrior... fully armed and ready to do battle.' Marie has captured it all in this book about a wonderful Godly woman, our Mom, Molly Bruno."--Nick Bruno, Dove Award Winning music producer, member of the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and president, Nick Bruno Productions "The word audacious certainly describes Molly Bruno, an ordinary woman with extraordinary faith and zeal who certainly wasn't afraid to live her faith out loud, affecting everyone who came in contact with her. Her boldness came from spending time in her prayer closet, the war room, and out of that place emerged a warrior, a force to be reckoned with, clothed with power from on high. I believe Molly's life has much to teach us in the way of intercession and witnessing. Although she has gone on to glory, the aroma of her well-lived life still challenges us today."--Maria Durso, co-pastor at Christ Tabernacle, Queens, NY, and author of From Your Head to Your Heart "Tasting the delicacies within these pages made me hungry not merely for meatballs, but for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the God who created all the delicious ingredients necessary to make things "just right." Marie Armenia has cooked up a smorgasbord that will satisfy you today and will keep drawing you back for more."--Ken Abraham, New York Times bestselling author "Molly Bruno's legacy continues to radiate her bold, courageous, resolute love for Jesus Christ. She lived the gospel and loved everyone with Christ-like compassion. My life is changed, challenged, and enriched because of Molly; yours will be too. Thanks to Marie for this honest, fun-loving, and compelling portrait of Molly's faith journey!"--Brenda Harris, communication/prayer associate, Kendrick Brothers Productions "Molly Bruno did not walk on water, but she was the hands and feet of Jesus wherever she went, and that made her beautifully buoyant. In The Audacious Molly Bruno, Marie Armenia has captured the effervescent soul of her mom and given women the lifeline of Molly's exceptional wisdom so they can navigate the rough seas of life with faith, hope, and laughter."--Ivey Harrington Beckman, author of Faith Untamed, former Editor
