I am absolutely enthralled at the superb quality of work found in this book. The book gives a fascinating introduction to these Great Saints, and includes an in depth survey of their teachings. Absolutely recommend this book to seekers on the spiritual path.

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.

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.

I enjoyed this book as I do most spiritual biographies. What I didn't like was the authors attitude to judge whether the experiences of these women were genuine. He couldn't possibly know this - however much he admires these saints. I had preferred a bit more 'objective distance' so that the reader could make up their minds themselves.

Extremely pleased, excellent service, book beautifully wrapped and protected for shipping and received in brand new condition, I would definitly purchase from this seller in future and recommend this seller to others! thank-you! :)

I highly recommend this book. It was inspiring and enjoyable to read the stories of these nine remarkable women and to be reminded of what is possible in terms of human consciousness. They are shining examples of how the Divine enters life through the human form and brings Truth and love to uplift humanity. They demonstrate how the Self helps its many expressions of itself in human form to evolve in this very difficult dimension. I also really appreciated that this book included their teachings, which are valuable as a source of contemplation and add to the breadth of this book. Timothy Conway's love and respect for the Divine Mother is apparent in every page.
