Book Reviews

"I loved this book!

Real world, day to day advice for women trying to live a Christian life in today’s world. Both authors share their experience as counselors on being single or married, working outside the home or being a stay at home Mom. The other woman that share their life experiences make a well rounded book with insight to guide any woman. My favorite chapter was on vocations!"

"Each individual contributor's honesty and vulnerability made an impact on me.

If one quote could sum up this book, it would be one by Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), which is at the beginning of the book: “The world doesn’t need what women have; it needs what women are.” The authors and contributors recommend that we, as Catholic women, focus not on what we have, but on who we are as individuals, wives, mothers, and single women. "

"I am so enjoying your book right now, especially the chapter I am on about dating right now. I went through a lot of wedding, wanting to be a mom, even one in high school, not sure that would happen. And now I see my daughters and oldest so struggling. So hard!"

"I wanted to share that I’ve been reading your book this week and it is really very beautiful. Thank you for the gift of writing it. Truly it’s made me emotional several times (I’m also kind of in an emotional space - haha) but the Lord is definitely blessing through your hand - so thank you!"

"So many moments of clarity and mini therapy. Some tears.

Honestly when I just now finished this book, I had this wall fall down and the only way I can describe it is this scene [from a movie]. That is me literally running back to my true self and to Jesus.

Of course, I've never stopped praying and going to church etc. but for quite some time it's felt like a wall has been there. I feel like I've also forgotten my true self what with stress, anxiety, and everything else weighing down on me.

I felt real joy just now and have you to thank for this with me.

Tell Marnee I said thank you also. If therapy is anything like the experience of reading that book I guess I should start sooner than later…Sending love, prayers and good energy to you and all the women involved in that book. That book did more than I expected it to."

"Faith-based and thought-provoking 

What a beautiful and touching read. Both authors and contributors share their stories with such an honest and raw vulnerability in a way that is relatable to all women of all denominations. The perseverance these women show during their challenges, as well as their successes, is inspiring, while never giving up on their faith. This book is a must read."
