What Brings You to Life?: Awakening Woman's Spiritual Essence

This wonderful, upbeat book helps women discover what enlivens them personally, what prompts or releases their hope, healing, creativity, and joy--in other words, what brings women to life. When they are acting from a joyful sense of their own value and when they are secure in knowing they are free to make the journey within, women can then better reach out to God and to others.

The authors focus on the themes of physical and spiritual rhythms; interconnectedness; the value of true essence; the wonder of space and time; God the sacred and WomanSoul; discovery, creativity, and mirth; and hope and healing in the wider world. Devoting a chapter to each, the authors combine insightful reflection with dozens of personal anecdotes and quotes. This makes for a warm supportive companion along the path to healing and wholeness.

Unlike many books on self discovery, this one is funny and joyous without sacrificing depth. Its whimsy sparkles from the very first page, and its short, fast-reading sections make it ideal for today's hectic lifestyle. Suggestions, activities, and thought-provoking questions make the title a great hands-on tool for both individuals and members of a small group. It's a stimulating choice for all-women reading circles, small faith groups, and adult ed classes; an inspiring title for women in transition, women in the arts, or women just looking for more from life. And it can bring beautiful new dimensions to relationships when read with sisters, friends, daughters, or one's mother.
