Praise for Believe for It:
"CeCe Winans and her family are treasured friends in ministry with me, my children, and she was especially a great friend over the years with my deceased wife, Lois Evans. The Kingdom work I have witnessed them leading and being a part of has spanned decades in multiple generations. That is the heart and biblical wisdom of what CeCe shares in Believe for It. My prayer is that this book helps people see what God can do through intentionality in family, church community, and fervent prayer."
--Dr. Tony Evans, President, The Urban Alternative, Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship
"My friend CeCe Winans is a gifted and beloved Gospel recording artist, and she has written a new book that is refreshing and needed today. In a culture that is heavy-laden with failed marriages and broken homes, CeCe writes about the hope that Jesus Christ brings into family life when parents and children honor the Lord through obedience to His Word. Her own story will inspire and capture anew what happens when Christ is put at the center of our hearts and homes. No matter what has happened in life, it is never too late to 'Believe for It.'"
--Franklin Graham, President and CEO, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Samaritan's Purse
"I believe in the power of what God can do through family. What my friend CeCe Winans has done in 'Believe for It' shows how God uses generations to pass down faith."
--Bishop T. D. Jakes, New York Times bestselling author
