This was a very relatable study and of course the small group discussions add a ton! Some weeks were better than others, and I felt like there was a lot of repeat from previous studies. But I did grow a lot in my spiritual life through this study and feel it would be beneficial to any Catholic woman wanting to grow in her faith life.

This Bible study contains much practical discussion, supported by many Scripture references. Some lessons are more clear and accessible than others, but all offer food for thought and fodder for discussion.

I really missed the saint's stories from the previous book and I did not enjoy the bible verse exercise and stopped doing them. I think the content is very revelant and helpful but get tired of reguritating the previous paragragh as an answer to a question... like being in elementary school again.

It was good however I think it jumped all over the place too much. I think I prefer the bi le studies that focus on one book at a time much more. They are better structured and you learn more. (All except for the Ephesians bible study)

Amazing...for any woman who desires balance in her daily life and wonders how the Scriptures can help her. Get the book, find a group in your area to read and discuss it with!

A beautiful and fruitful bible study done with a table full of seasoned, sage and lovely women of all ages. This book stretched and grew me, week by week. Highly recommend!

This is a longer Catholic women's Bible study, and it is well done. At first, some of us older women thought that this study was better geared towards younger career women and busy moms. But the later chapters were excellent resources for women of any age. There were a few chapters that were very emotional and helpful. Recommended.
