Former Second Lady Karen Pence encourages readers to accept God’s challenges through her spiritually uplifting story of how God called her, an elementary school teacher, to positions she did not expect. Washington D.C. is full of people eager to bend your ear about statistics, polls, and policies. Karen Pence is more likely to talk about beekeeping–if she’s not busy teaching an art class, painting watercolors, or riding her bike. A schoolteacher who never expected to leave Indiana, Karen Pence found during her extraordinary journey to becoming Second Lady that – despite the turbulence inherent to political campaigning, through eighteen moves and countless surprises – God’s grace was sufficient. When It’s Your Turn to Serve is full of heartwarming and relatable stories of being a leader, teacher, mom and Christian throughout an unpredictable life. From turning up to Pet Night on the hill toting a lizard, two cats, and a dog –only to find it was an event for lobbyists–to learning the unexpected news that her husband had become Donald Trump’s nominee for vice president, Karen has learned to take surprises in stride. In this warm and deeply personal book, the former Second Lady shares the lessons she’s learned about God, faith, and family. When It’s Your Turn to Serve will challenge you to simply be open when opportunities arise, to recognize your purpose in God’s plan, and to step up to make a difference wherever you are.
