Description

Heather Chesnut shares compelling stories from the eighteen years she worked at the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association providing representation to individuals accused of crimes. In Counsel, Please Rise, she chronicles her daily challenges as a defense attorney, a divorced mother, a sister, and a follower of Christ. She reflects on these experiences as tutorials in faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity (2 Peter 1:4–7). She testifies that intentionally practicing these virtues “giving all diligence” has deepened her partnership with God and empowered her faith. She encourages believers from all walks of life to strengthen their spiritual foundations and grow in Christ.
