Summary: Great book for reading with the family
Review: I enjoyed this book when I read it and now we are reading it out loud together as a family. I felt it was important for my children to learn that there have been women on this planet who have done the same kind of important spiritual work for which traditionally only men have received credit. My whole family is enjoying it. Very inspirational, clearly written with philosophical background to give a context to the biographical stories. Especially nice is the fact that different religions are represented.

Summary: A life-changing experience
Review: Women of Power and Grace indeed! This is the story of nine beatiful souls,all female, all of the modern era, all filled with the love of God. The kind of single-minded, all encompassing Devotion that most of can only view from afar. Though these Great Souls are united in their love of God, the more mundane aspects of their lives are incredibly varied, even bizarre in some cases. The uniting thread, though, remains constant. Each Saint plays out her individual Divine Romance with mind-boggling determination and Christ-like resolve. From Shyama Mataji, a Hindu, who chanted God's name 23 hours a day, to Therese Neumann, the Catholic stigmatist, who fasted the last forty years of her life, you'll thrill with the depth and amazingly personal relationships each of these Holy Women develop with God. Inspiring is too lame a word. Read it, you'll be glad you did. Who knows, it could change your life.
