12 Strong Women Of God
Alborghetti, Marci
Books > Spirituality > Feminine Spirituality
Stories of women larger than life, yet who were vulnerable & in need of God's loving aid--these are the stories you'll find in Twelve Strong Women of God: Biblical Models for Today. Both women & men who read these stories will recognize some of the problems they face in their own lives. They can take courage from the example of the biblical heroines Marci Alborghetti writes about in her own insightful & easy-to-read style. Reflect on the heroism of Miriam & of the Pharaoh's daughter in protecting Moses, the future leader of Israel. Admire the struggle of Deborah to carry out her role as judge at a time when Israel was unfaithful to God & men dominated the culture. Consider the loyalty of Ruth in following her mother-in-law to a strange land where the people worshipped a different God, & they had to rely on providence for their home & food. The first person narrative brings these figures even more fully to life & closer to our own life situations.

Awakening To Prayer: A Woman's Perspective
Wagner, Clare
Books > Spirituality > Feminine Spirituality
The word "prayer' is almost as generic as food or book, says Clare Wagner in this book, and the varieties of prayer forms are countless. In this best and worst of times, Wagner writes, it is intriguing to ponder how women of the twenty-first century pray and enter into a relationship with Holy Presence. At this moment of enormous change, rapid technological advancement and a new relationship between faith and science, Wagner says we are called to see prayer in new, creative ways. To help us see anew, she draws on the wisdom of the Scriptures, the insights of the mystics and the experience of ordinary, vibrant women and men living in our midst. She offers suggestions of words to use and rituals to experience to help us awaken to prayerto see that separation from Divine Mystery is an illusion and that the spiritual life is a journey that lasts a lifetime. That journey itself is home, and prayer is foundational as we travel.

Friendship Of Women
Chittister, Joan OSB
Books > Spirituality > Feminine Spirituality
Four Old Testament women have been added:
Deborah - Esther - Ruth - Miriam
An exploration of the sacred dimension of friendship through the lens of faith, tradition and scripture, revealing the often-overlooked voices and experiences of women in the Bible.
Friendship binds past and present and makes bearable the uncertainty of the future. It colors the very air we breathe. We can see it in the eyes of older women in the kitchens of the women they love. We can hear it in the voices of young women giggling to each other over the phone. We can feel it beating in our own hearts on lonely days in faraway places when, most alone, we are haunted by the memories of those who have walked through life with us and walk with us still.
In The Friendship of Women, Joan Chittister both recovers and reclaims the witness and wisdom of such women as Lydia, Prisca, Phoebe and Martha, of Deborah, Esther, Miriam and Ruth, and of Veronica, Elizabeth, Anne and Mary Magdalene.

Jesus and the Women of Faith Hope and Love
Stevan, Sergio
Books > Spirituality > Feminine Spirituality
Come to a deeper understanding of the transforming love of God through these guided reflections on the encounters between Jesus and three women in the Gospels. By contemplating the faith of Mary Magdalene, the hope of the penitent woman forgiven by Jesus, and the love of Mary for Bethany (sister of Martha and Lazarus) Christians today can learn how to use their unique gifts to serve God and others. These examples of female discipleship teach us that the essential experience of the Christian life is simply to be loved by God, and to respond to God in that same love.
Also included for prayer and reflection is "Women in Service of the Gospel," a general audience given by Pope Benedict XVI in February 2007.
