I just encountered these Catholic Bible studies for women and am really impressed. I say that as someone who does not really enjoy self-guided studies where one must look up verses and answer questions. However, there is something compelling about the way that Mitch threads together thoughtful commentary, personal experiences, saints' quotes, and prayers with Church teachings and scripture. Even though each book has the leader's guide in the back (that's right ... the answers), I have been more interested in looking up verses and coming to my own conclusions. Distinctly surprising was the way that Mitch snuck up and struck me dumb on several occasions when I thought smugly that "everyone knows the answer to that" ... but humored the process by looking up the answer (I'm always the smart aleck rolling her eyes at the back of the class ... but you knew that right?). Of course, everyone might know those answers, but I didn't. Not only did this leave me respecting Mitch even more but some of those answers were very big ones that are repeatedly useful as I struggle in daily life to be a good disciple of Christ. These are great studies and I'm going to be recommending them to a lot of my friends.

Really enjoy the book along with the bible surfing. The book brought me to bible stories that were new to me. Very motivational for women to be their best. Good idea to have a group while reading using this book.

Courageous Virtue is a wonderful Catholic Women's Bible Study complete with inspirational quotes from Saints, stories, good questions, a leader's guide, and answers in the back of the book. This book helps the bible study group learn about the Virtuous women in the bible and also how to foster the growth of personal virtue. Our group is enjoying this bible study. This study can also be done alone as a personal study.
