Announcing...Our Book!

Thank you for your gracious responses to the launching of our CYW Book Club! I'm so excited to build community with you lovely ladies as we read, sip tea, and chat over this book together.

Which book is it, you ask??




Girls, this book is gorgeous, inside and out. I've been wanting to read it for a long time, so when the publicist at Image Catholic Books contacted me, it felt like a grace moment. I believe the saints are such a gift to us from God, and even more specifically women saints who understand both the unique blessings and struggles that come with being a woman! So often we place them on pedestals instead of seeing them as friends. We have more in common with these holy women than we think--they are simply a few steps (or maybe more!) ahead of us on the journey, praying for us and offering their encouragement and friendship.

You can read more about the book here, including stamps of approval on this book from trustworthy Catholic names such as Father Robert Barron, Christopher West, Ralph Martin, and Bishop Charles Chaput,

I know the Holy Spirit will be present in our reading and in our conversations. May our Mother Mary send us many graces from her Son as we begin this time together!

We have a few weeks until we begin (October 2), but you can use this time to look around and find your copy of the title. Buy it, borrow it from a library, share it with a friend and join the club together. If you plan to buy it, you are certainly welcome to shop around your favorite local or online bookstore, but Image Catholic books is releasing it in paperback (lower cost than the hardcover) beginning September 23rd, and you can pre-order it now through their website here.

  3. I'm so glad you chose this book! I read it several years ago and it was so good it easily claimed a spot my list top 10 books that made me think. It has one of the best descriptions of faith and waiting that I have ever read and I continue to go back to particular quotes and sections. It is one of a select few books that I am happy to have a hardcover of. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!

Thank you for stopping by CYW! Comments are always welcome, and we appreciate your thoughts. CYW is meant to be a community of like-minded Catholic women, so hearing from our readers always make us smile.

Disagreement is permitted, but we require that some sort of name be attached to the comment rather than simply leaving it anonymous and that charity always be maintained. And, though criticism of a post is acceptable, any derisive remarks about the personal lives of the contributors are considered unacceptable.

Comments are moderated for the sake of our young readers.

God bless!
