Exceptional, Heart Felt, and Inspiring
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020
This was such an exceptional book to read. Nona speaks of the good, the bad, and the ugly, that furthur reveals her transparency, and authenticity within this book. The audio version brings her book to life in such a powerful way, that mere words alone just can't do. I believe the Lord blessed her with a specific anointing as she vocalized her audio book(she has a gift of public speaking). As she narrorated the book, I felt as though I was able to capture every chapter and specific narrorated scenes very vividly within my mind, that made it feel as though I was there when the events took place. I also love that Nona not only shares her truth, but incorporates the stories of others, that I feel are helpful to readers of all sorts. It's a book that you won't regret reading.

OVERCOMING PAST HURTS! EMPOWERING! LIFECHANGING!
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020
This easy to read, hard to put down, book by Nona Jones was the best read in a very long time for me. Although the trauma experienced by Nona was different than my life experiences and past hurts, the applicable truths and principles she writes about through her teachings and the ultimate resolve in moving forward are fully in line with the Word of God. Sometimes we 'know' what to do but we don't know 'how to do it'. I found that this book was the perfect tool that bridged the gap between knowing and doing and as a result I have found victory in successfully overcoming my past and look forward to a brighter future because of it. To sum it up in one word, LIFECHANGING! Order yours today and be blessed! ~ Suzan G.

Compelling Transformation of a Life
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021
This book immediately captured me and I could not let go. The journey from a horrific childhood to a shooting star is aligned with God's Grace. Nona is vulnerable and open as she shares her story of abuse and neglect to one of triumph.
Nona's path to victory reminds us a Christians that we must reach out to our youth as a stable force. Thank God for heroes and sheroes that came to rescue her and encourage her. Thank you Nona for this relevant sharing that challenges us to be resilient, work hard, forgive, and trust God.

Faith, leadership, memoir--this book has it all!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020
I read a lot of memoirs, and a lot of christian living books, and some business/leadership books. This is a standout in all 3 categories. The first 1/4 of the book is Nona's childhood. If you, or someone you know, has had a dismal childhood marked by poverty and abuse--this inspiring story is for you. If you are a teacher who works with difficult kids, this story will inspire you and help you see the type of power you really have. If you like to see a story that demonstrates clear evidence of the power of God in a surrendered life--this is it! Once you get to Nona's college years, you do not hear another word about her childhood, or the people in it. It's like she was truly reborn in more than one way. Further, you can tell she has a great affection for her spouse and children--but they are rarely mentioned. I see this as conscious choice to protect them, and their privacy. You don't have to lead huge organizations of people to benefit from Nona's insights in leadership. Her insights are applicable to any sphere of influence. Although this book is great for many audiences, I think it would be an excellent read for high school age foster youth--particularly girls. Nona is an inspiration, and you will enjoy getting to know her through this book.

Great book on finding success after a traumatic past
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020
Nona is so honest and transparent in this book about her past dealing with physical, sexual, and emotional abuse from a young age. She tells about her journey toward success and overcoming her past in a way that invites the reader in, and I honestly couldn't stop once I started reading. Even though I haven't experienced what Nona went through, I still feel as though I can relate to her and her story, and her advice and empowerment is for everyone. No matter what pain or trauma you may have faced, Nona shows how success can be achieved, and it starts on the inside. Highly recommend this book!

MUST read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020
Nona shared so much of herself in such an authentic way that it's easy to relate to the content! So much of Nona story is different from mine but she presents it in a way that I could clearly see the places where our stories crossed paths. Success from the Inside Out helped me to see the flaws in the way that I think about work. I've had a rough year with my current job and have been trying to figure out what needs to come next and was often pointing my fingers to those with the leadership titles as the problem. But it's time for me to lead me!
