Are you aching to fling open the doors of your womanly heart?
Are you dying to discover the recesses of your soul?
If the answer is "Yes," this book is for you!
Ok, ok, even if you aren't feeling all that dramatic, in my humble opinion, it's still a treasure chest of fine jewels, just waiting to be discovered...Truly, it is.
Needless to say, this book just hit the top of my favorite spiritual book list!
If you are a Catholic Mom or blogger, you may have seen it floating around during it's April Blog Tour.? I didn't get around to read very many of the reviews, myself, but let's just say the Holy Spirit plopped it right down in my lap!
It also landed nicely in the laps of 2 other dear friends as we were discussing the idea of reading a spiritual book together:)
We got together today to chat about it and the consensus...We all loved it!
It's deep, truthful, easy to follow, and straightforward.
In general, I think we all agreed that Pat Gohn was absolutely genius in her writing of this book, celebrating the gift of Catholic womanhood. We hit the jackpot as we sifted through the many jewels of our faith, woven so naturally in the gift of femininity.
The core of the book is learning to live from the inside out, wrapped beautifully in a mantle of humility, specially designed by our Blessed Mother.
All three of us would recommend this book to Catholic women of every age and all women seeking the real meaning of their womanhood.
In summary, one of my dear friends noted that if "women banded together in the fashion of this book, we could restore human dignity in the world. The potential is at our fingertips..."
How's that for a challenge?
"Each woman's life, well-lived, might be the best gospel anyone will ever read."
(One of my favorite quotes from the book:)
Thank you, Pat Gohn!
Amen, amen, amen! A true gem of a book. Thanks again, Tiff, for recommending it.
