"Jessica's perspective of global sisterhood and the power of
lifting one another up in the midst of fear and scarcity is exactly
what we need today. This book is both an invitation and a challenge
to bravely show up for ourselves, for the people we love, and for
the strangers that we will one day call family. I say, 'Amen!'"
--Bren Brown, PhD, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Braving
the Wilderness "I absolutely love this book. Jessica is smart,
brave, honest, and funny, and this book is the perfect mix of
listening-ear and kick-in-the-pants. Equal parts compassion and
challenge, this is a must-read for all of us who want to make a
difference with our lives but sometimes find fear and anxiety
standing in the way."
--Shauna Niequist, New York Times best-selling author of Present
Over Perfect and Bread and Wine
"Sometimes a desperate need creates an opportunity to transform the
world. Jessica's story provides a beautifully imperfect tapestry
for understanding what surrender and courage can look like when
unexpected need tests our faith. She shows us that stepping into
our stories can build a path to change someone else's story. Learn
how to harness your fear and transform it into courage that will
change the world."
--LaTasha Morrison, founder and president of Be the Bridge
"Pick your reason to read this book: you care about the world, you
are an entrepreneur, you love fashion, you love women, you have big
ideas, you have a global mind-set, you are a builder, a dreamer, a
visionary, a Texan (there is plenty of Texas in Jessica's story).
Imperfect Courage is fuel for all of these. It is as generous and
adventurous as Jessica, who is the greatest leader, creator, and
friend I've ever known."
--Jen Hatmaker, New York Times best-selling author of Of Mess and
Moxie and host of the For the Love podcast
"Jessica inspires me to think so much bigger than my own two hands.
I'm so inspired by her heart and tenacity as an entrepreneur and by
her commitment to connecting, empowering, and inspiring women
around the world!"
--Emily Ley, founder of Simplified and best-selling author of
Grace, Not Perfection and A Simplified Life
"Jessica Honegger has written a must-read account of how the work
of justice goes hand in hand with women's empowerment. And it all
starts with steps of imperfect courage."
--Melissa Russell, chief advancement officer for International
Justice Mission
"Jessica is such an incredible example of what a leader in business
should be. Not only because she's had the courage to push herself
to create a company from the ground up, but because she made her
way down the road to success and then turned around and held a
lantern up to light the way for the rest of us. This is a must-read
for anyone who's chasing big dreams on a road that feels
unsteady!"
--Rachel Hollis, New York Times best-selling author of Girl, Wash
Your Face
"As the CEO of Noonday Collection, Jessica's lack of pretense and
commitment to transparency have earned the trust of artisans and
consumers alike. She brings that same approach to Imperfect
Courage; each chapter feels like a personal invitation to ride
alongside Jessica as she recounts memories that tell of her
infectious passion for using entrepreneurship to empower women all
over the globe. Her deep conviction for equality and justice is
contagious and will change the lives of so many."
--Mica May, founder and CEO of May Designs
"Jessica Honegger will captivate you with her adventure of building
a company that is shaping and changing the world. You will find
yourself crying, laughing, and wondering why you've played it so
safe in life. She makes you want to risk it all for the good of
people and the world, because doing so doesn't just make life more
meaningful; it makes it more fun!"
--Jennie Allen, author of Nothing to Prove and founder and
visionary of IF: Gathering
"This book is your road map to uncovering and pursuing your big
dream. Jessica teaches us all how to get past the lies that keep us
from living our full potential in the world. As Imperfect Courage
illustrates, the more each of us broadens our circle of compassion
and embraces the entire globe, the faster the love of God makes it
to every corner of the world."
--Amy Brown, co-host of The Bobby Bones Show
"In this lovely book, Jessica opens up about the rocky journey of
starting Noonday Collection, what she has learned along the way,
and how she's better because of the people she's met. I'm so
excited for you to read this story not just so you'll know more
about Jessica and Noonday but so you'll know more about yourself
and how you, too, can do big things--even if you are scared."
--Jamie Ivey, author of If You Only Knew and host of The Happy Hour
with Jamie Ivey podcast
"Jessica Honegger's journey is an inspiration not just to
entrepreneurs and business leaders but to anyone seeking to pursue
the dreams God puts in their hearts. Imperfect Courage is living
proof that fashion can play an important part in changing the world
and business can be an incredible force for good. The world needs
more businesses like Noonday Collection and more mindfully
ambitious leaders like Jessica Honegger."
