This is a wonderful book. Once I started it, I didn't want to put it down. I love a format of vignettes (short essays or stories). If you aren't a Christian, you may think these stories are too churchy or just can't be real. But if you ARE a Christian, you know exactly how the power of God carries us through everyday life. The theme of this book touches the soul of Christian women. Stories are either told by a woman of faith, or are about a woman of faith. Both men and women share real incidences from their life, covering nearly every scenario imaginable. The horrible: death, cancer, physical disfigurements, abuse, divorce. And the glorious: miraculous healings, new love, the wonder of children, God's protective hand. Though quite varied in content, each story testifies to God's grace, strength, and abundant love. The Chicken Soup people have outdone themselves with this uplifting collection to warm and heal the soul of the Christian woman. Blessings to them. And blessings to you from the MenopauseLady. Donna Rogers, author The Menopause Survival Guide.

This book offers a bond with the women who wrote it and Christian women all over the world. The stories offer hope, encouragement and a whole range of other emotions that strengthen that bond. And most importantly, it reminds us that we are loved by God and he is there for us always. What a terrific gift from one woman to another!

This book beautifully captures the essence of being a Christian woman. I began reading and then could not put it down! What a gift to those who have already accepted Christ into their lives and to those who are still looking for meaning.

I have read exerpts from Chicken Soup for the Soul but I haven't finished it. It was an inspirational book I enjoyed. Its uplifing stories have helped me to better understand my life. I would highly recommend any book in this wonderful series.

This book not only contains touching and inspiring stories, it has helped us to make available more than 150,000 of our books to prisoners in jails, prisons, and youth detention centers in North America. -- Tom Lagana, co-author "Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul," "Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul," "Serving Productive Time," and "Serving Time, Serving Others."

Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul: 101 Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit of Hope, Healing and Forgiveness (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

With the death of my stepmom and the death of our g'baby this devotional has been very encouraging and it helps to lighten my soul. It seems the devotional that I pick for the day is the one that meets my need at that time.

Purchase shortly after my divorce. Comforting and a reminder that you are not the only one with problems. Another favorite Chicken Soup book.

We are blessed to have yet another collection of amazing stories to read and to share. Also of note is the tone of the book which is gentle and lovingly points the reader to draw their own conclusions - there is absolutely no offensive preachyness here! I would highly recommend this as a great gift or to read yourself! Thanks again to the Chicken Soup Team - you have done it again!

Many of the stories in this book are distasteful. I would not recomend this book to anyone.
