    Media Contact: Heidi McDow, 972-267-1111 [email protected] First Fully-Female Voiced NLT Audio Bible Helps Women Connect to the Word of God Courage for Life Free App Fills Void in Women’s Ministry MARIETTA, Ga., June 3, 2019 – Extensive research and clinical experience prove that the best way to help at-risk women and girls heal from substance abuse, trauma and mental health issues is through gender-specific programs. Because females tend to be a more nurturing gender by nature, their voices are often perceived as more compassionate, understanding and non-threatening. Knowing this research and recognizing the unique ministry opportunity presented, Courage for Life has partnered with two-time Grammy-nominated artist Amik Byram to develop the first female-narrated New Living Translation (NLT) audio Bible available now through a free app. “There is comfort in hearing your mother, best friend or grandmother tell you a story,” said Ann White, founder of Courage for Life. “In the same way, the Courage for Life all-female narrated Bible delivers God’s word in a comforting, friendly voice.” Narrated by experienced voice actors, this NLT audio Bible provides a soothing listening experience void of any dramatic sound bites, off-putting background music or overly dramatic deliveries. Through the Courage for Life women’s audio Bible, listeners are immersed into the Scriptures by voices only, which read the Word with the passion and purpose it represents. The Courage for Life women’s audio Bible is a vision of the ministry’s founder, author and speaker Ann White. Courage for Life is dedicated to providing resources that help individuals move from a life that is fear-based to faith-based.
