A positive Catholic look 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

If you are looking for a stern, in-your-face, pre-Vatican ll book on religion, this is not it! What you will find is a beautiful spiritual companian written by two wise and sensitive nuns and gorgeously illustrated by another talented sister. This is a healing book for many, especially those who feel their Catholic faith has let them down at some point in their life. I think this would also be great for anyone who embraces Waldorf- style education or parenting. I absolutely loved it!!!!!!

Prayer 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I like the concept of viewing life and prayer through the four seasons. I like how the prayers can be used as an individual prays or for group prayer. The words speak to the heart when one does not have the words within. It encourages one to be aware of the presence of God in the day to day ordinary. Simple and direct yet challenging one to move from the head to the heart and be conscious of the movement of prayer. Helps to open our eyes and see life differently. A great addition and help especially when planning for prayer for groups.

Not Amused 2 out of 5 stars.
7 of 13 people found this review helpful.

This is one of the MANY workbooks/studies that I purchased but simply did not, and will not complete.

I felt like I was being fed the story of THEIR lives. I mean, I wanted to do this study to learn! I wanted there to be some tips on how I could better strengthen my relationship with Christ,and something that would give me things that I could apply to my life everyday...that's important too me!

But this workbook feels like a gossip session in my opinion. Probably because each chapter starts with a few stories about something or they say view the video. and then you are feed questions.

For example: If I told you a story about a day in my home. Fed you a few scriptures-(which you would need the version of bible that this workbook is composed in to begin to get an understanding of where they are trying to progress you too) and then put a few side line quotes on the side of the page from St. Augestine or someone else. And got your focus on MY life. Then said.

1. Has there been a time in your life when you felt Christ rescued you from Depression? How did that make you feel?

then a few more questions

and then a question about why you felt Jane Doe (who's story was the opening of your study) felt the way she did?

-Is the way this workbook is written in my opinion.

This isn't a workbook I would suggest or reccomend.

honest and deep 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book is an indepth look at how Satan attacks us as women and the process of how these lies then can rule our lives. It is a good read on your own, but a great book to do as a group. I have really enjoyed this study and would highly recommend it for someone who is looking for a deeper study and willing to look honestly at themselves. She does not sugar coat the truths and so it might be unenjoyable for someone who would rather a study with a gentler approach. I enjoyed it and learned a great deal about myself.

God wants us to walk in freedom! 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I think this study is excellent. My only comment regarding the study on Marriage is that it could make some of the gals who have gone through divorce feel condemned and I don't believe the author intended it to be that way. Some of my gals who have walked through divorce had some interesting emotions come up and we talked a lot about the difference between conviction and condemnation. Also, that when we have asked for forgiveness that we don't have to hash through it all again, God has forgiven us and desires for us to walk in wholeness.

Editorial Review:

This companion guide to "Lies Women Believe" will help women go deeper into God's word, walk more fully in His grace, and experience the joy of the abundant life Christ promised

Okaaaay 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Great assessment of a biblical reason and motivation for emotional purity before marriage; especially applicable to teens and youths...

Probably this book is geared toward a specific segment of the populace, as her own experience and thus her writing is quite sheltered and limited, it appears. I'm not quite so gungho on the application part of her writing (though this does not negate the truth of the first part - the biblical basis!).

Still worth the read, especially if you are able to fit into any of the catagories similar to her life.

Excellent. Recommend to all young ladies 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I do recomend this book, heartily, to all young ladies. It wasn't too graphic, and it has gems in it. Not only does it talk about the importance of doing it God's way, it gives you tips for how to fill the time you are waiting (and it's not trying to lure Prince Charming in with skimpy clothes and seduction), by drawing closer to God and preparing yourself for the time when you will be a helpmeat.

AMAZING 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I recently purchased this book and have enjoyed everything about it. I often find myself talking and thinking of things that I shouldn't, but often not knowing how to capture and stop those bad habits. Sarah Mally gives reason, examples, and Scripture of keeping yourself mentally and physical pure for the "Perfect ONE" God has for you. This book has helped to change my understanding of why it is so importantto choose God before anything and fill my whole heart with Him only. If you are a young girl struggling with feelings and thoughts you should purchase this book. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!

Short but beautiful book . . . 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Gift of the Red Bird, a Spiritual Encounter, reads like a journal from Paula D'Arcy's life. On August 18, 1975, on a return trip home to Connecticut, Paula's car was struck by a drunk motorist. Her daughter, Sarah, died of head injuries on August 20, and her husband died three days later from a ruptured spleen. Paula was alive and three months pregnant with her second baby daughter, Beth. For this reason, she went on living.

Gift of the Red Bird tells of a story of extreme loss and ache, of searching for answers, of making sense out of the pain, and of looking for some light in the darkness.

This is Paula's journey, and when she goes on a wilderness retreat -- where it's just her, God, and nature -- she begins to get some comfort for her wounds.

A deeply moving narrative, this book may be short, but the message is deep and lasting. It's a journey well worth taking for anyone who has ever had a tragedy hit their lives where they've had the same questions.

Editorial Review:

When Paula D'Arcy lost her husband and baby in a car crash, she began an inner search for a faith that was stronger than fear. In Gift of the Red Bird, she tells her story of spiritual exhaustion, her journey alone into the wilderness for three days, and the renewal she was blessed to experience. Now with reflection guide for reading groups.

Single and Waiting on your Knight. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I highly recommend this book to every woman who's desire to be married. First married to God and then to their mate. This book really open my eyes on things to look for in a mate and the signs of an imitator. God is so good and he will not allow us to be ignorant of Satan tricks, plots and schemes. I'd purchased this book over 7 years ago and shortly after I purchased the book, I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. I was tired of living in sin and I knew God had much more for me. It was in 2007, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to read the book again and everything I read in the is what I'm currently still practicing. Is been over 6 years since I read the book and I'm still waiting on my Knight in Shining Amour. I'm building a greater relationship with the Lord and I'm learning to love me. I know it was the Holy Spirit who inspired P.B. Wilson to write this book and I Thank God for the gift of Exhortation. Even though I'm still single and practicing celibacy, I know, No good thing will God with hold from me if I continue to walk up right before him.

Sincerely,
Waiting on Boaz

Editorial Review:

P.B. Wilson’s Knight in Shining Armor (more than 150,000 copies sold) lets women know that if they desire true love, they need to prepare themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally...and God will bring their knight in shining armor to them. Readers will discover what they need to change and what should stay the same to make themselves attractive to godly men. Principles taught include—

• emotionally healthy women attract emotionally healthy men
• dating someone in hopes he’ll change later is asking for trouble
• a potential knight’s past reveals how he’ll act in the future

Practical and realistic, this book helps women break free from ineffective behaviors and attitudes to discover God’s design for waiting, dating, and choosing a mate.

Encouraging! 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I love the way Barbara and Susan are upbeat and encouraging. Even when they talk about the downside (and they do talk about the downside) of the empty nest years, they do so with an attitude of hope and encouragment. Especially helpful are the suggestions on finding out who you are once you separate your identity from your children's and then discovering what to do with yourself in a meaningful way for the many years you probably have left to make a difference on this earth. A great read, whether your kids are gone or just getting ready to leave.

Editorial Review:

You're done . . . but you're not finished! And one more thing. You're not alone. Feeling unsure? Scared? Expectant? Maybe even giddy? Is your nest empty--except for a bundle of mixed emotions? As you grieve what's behind and daydream about possibilities, you'll feel young again, ready for new challenges and adventures. Yet you may not know what to pursue or how to discover what's next. Many women in this season of life wonder: Who am I now? And what should I do? How will my marriage be affected? Does anyone need me? How do I relate to my children? Is it okay to feel sad? Or thrilled? What's next?

Barbara and Susan can be the friends you need to walk you through these new experiences. They'll guide you to answers, and together you'll discover a new purpose and passion for your next life adventure.

Truly Empowering 5 out of 5 stars.
23 of 24 people found this review helpful.

You may be skeptical about a book written by a man for women; I was too, at first, not the least because so many Christian authors have tried to place women beneath men in the name of God. Munroe, however, is not such a man. He describes women in truly wonderful ways, as people of power and influence. I almost thought it was too good to be true when I read his words that women and men are equal heirs of God's kingdom (not because I don't believe this, but because some Christians tend to shy away from this fact). Munroe neither paints women as weak beings or strong manipulative ones, but as children of God with great potential and gives wonderful advice on how we can use our strengths in Godly ways. He even said that it's wrong for women to demand equality from men because we've already been given it by God and we should never define ourselves by human viewpoints. This book is truly a wonderful tool for women to use in their lives and for men to use as a way of perspective. Munroe is to be praised and I highly recommend this book!

This text provides a good example of how one can be a mentor no matter what stage of life you are at or your giftedness. Encourages you to get involved in another's life and be a godly influence. Great for women's study groups/discussion.

Inspires you both to seek and offer spiritual mothering 5 out of 5 stars.

The command in Titus 2 for older women to teach younger women has long been on my heart and I have desired to reach out beyond my own daughters, but have not often had the opportunity to develop such a relationship with others. I wish older women had reached out to me when I was younger and did not realize how much I needed their help and encouragement. This book is great for women of all ages. It encourages the younger to seek the wisdom of the older, and the older to share what God has taught them. We are starting group studies of this book in our church.

Editorial Review:

The Apostle Paul in his letter to Titus assigns older women the task of ministering to the younger women in the Christian community. this book provides an understanding of this "mothering mandate" for contemporary times.

Editorial Review:

With the hustle of the holiday season come multiple distractions—distractions that keep readers from focusing on Christ. Beloved prayer author and speaker Jennifer Kennedy Dean, in her first Christmas release, Pursuing the Christ, helps readers see the distractions of Christmas in a new way. Pursuing the Christ is a 31-day devotional and prayer guide based on themes of Advent, such as hope, peace, and joy. This guide, with its beautiful and poetic divider pages and easy-to-use format, leads readers through the weeks of Advent, providing familiar Christmas verses and some possibly not-sofamiliar Messianic passages from the Prophets and Psalms. As readers record their own Advent prayers, their hearts will be warmed as they pursue the Christ of Christmas.
