Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

I was delighted to find these beautiful and inspiring female role models performing miracles healings and ministering divine love and compassion on a par with Jesus and the Buddha

From the Author

This book came forth because I wanted my readers to be as amazed, heartened, and enlightened as I was upon encountering each of these wonderful women. I can tell you plainly that this book would not be in existence except for the Grace from Spirit emanating through these women. It has been a great joy to hear from so many readers about how one or more of these holy ones has touched their lives in some real, transformational manner. All I can say is: let us praise God, from Whom all blessings flow. Yes, the one, nondual Spirit, the Divine Mother-Father of us all, is right here inside us all as boundless Light and Joy, infinite Love and Compassion. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for reading with the family, August 23, 2001

This review is from: Women of Power and Grace: Nine Astonishing, Inspiring Luminaries of Our Time (Hardcover)

I enjoyed this book when I read it and now we are reading it out loud together as a family. I felt it was important for my children to learn that there have been women on this planet who have done the same kind of important spiritual work for which traditionally only men have received credit. My whole family is enjoying it. Very inspirational, clearly written with philosophical background to give a context to the biographical stories. Especially nice is the fact that different religions are represented.

5.0 out of 5 stars A life-changing experience, November 26, 2002

This review is from: Women of Power & Grace: Nine Astonishing, Inspiring Luminaries of Our Time (Paperback)

Women of Power and Grace indeed! This is the story of nine beatiful souls,all female, all of the modern era, all filled with the love of God. The kind of single-minded, all encompassing Devotion that most of can only view from afar. Though these Great Souls are united in their love of God, the more mundane aspects of their lives are incredibly varied, even bizarre in some cases. The uniting thread, though, remains constant. Each Saint plays out her individual Divine Romance with mind-boggling determination and Christ-like resolve. From Shyama Mataji, a Hindu, who chanted God's name 23 hours a day, to Therese Neumann, the Catholic stigmatist, who fasted the last forty years of her life, you'll thrill with the depth and amazingly personal relationships each of these Holy Women develop with God. Inspiring is too lame a word. Read it, you'll be glad you did. Who knows, it could change your life.
