Days of Deepening Friendship: For the Woman Who Wants Authentic Life with God
Be your true self—and get ready for a dynamic friendship with the Divine.
It’s time for women of faith to quit apologizing—for who they are or who they’ve been, for what they feel and know, and for their powerful ability to connect with spiritual reality. When a woman is free to be herself and to express to God—without fear—her loves, dreams, pains, and passions, she can embark upon a friendship that is stunning in its wisdom and delightful in its daily unfolding.
Using Scripture, meditations, stories, and written exercises, Days of Deepening Friendship encourages women to radically rethink their approach to friendship with God and to explore the deeper regions of this very special relationship. Throughout forty brief chapters, author and spirituality-workshop leader Vinita Hampton Wright taps the proven wisdom of Ignatian spirituality by employing prayer, imagination, action, and reflection, making the book an ideal spiritual workshop for women.
Days of Deepening Friendship will free any woman to fling wide open the door to the Divine and become friends with the God who has loved her all along for who she really is.

Really took my time with this one. Worth going back to someday. Great to see a distinctly female approach to spirituality
Did Not Finish
December 30, 2025Tried as my Lent 2025 devotional and found the style wasn't for me. Donating to my parish's library.

If you really want to let this book impact your life you need to take time to read each chapter, reflect and journal. This is not the type of book you read cover to cover.
If you like being artsy, this would probably be a great book for you as many of the "If you want to be a little daring..." sections include art projects.
I found some of the things a little hokey, but overall it was a helpful book for me - when I actually took the time to reflect.

May 4, 2013A sweet book but not exactly what I was looking for or needing at that time. I think I may revisit it when I have more time for contemplation (without falling asleep).
