By Tom F
Format:Paperback
For just under two weeks, each evening I spent some quiet time with this new book by Teresa and Cheryl. A summary statement? I'm sorry that I came to the end of WRAPPED UP -- I so much enjoyed the real-world experiences and stories and lessons shared by these two women. And for those that don't know them, the authors are gifts to the Church. I hope they don't mind that I compare them, in a sense to St.'s Peter and Paul. So different, but so wonderfully paired in this new effort. I could write about all the Ten Gifts discussed in the book - but I'll pick just one: FORGIVENESS. In this chapter, Cheryl shares her lovely, lovely tender story ripped right off the pages of my confession list - forgiving another when I shouldn't have to. And Teresa -- dear Mrs. Type A Teresa -- a story of the challenge of marital forgiveness framed against Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.
I recommend this easy-to-read and inviting set of reflections on Ten Gifts from God. And I recommend this book to guys as a gift for your spouse, or someone in your family or a significant other. Maybe combine the book purchase with the workbook idea so that ladies can meet over coffee or tea and do a chapter at a time while working on their experiences with the Ten Gifts.
Blessings. Enjoy.

Wrapped Up is an easy read but contains so much profound Truth. I had never considered that God has given women specific spiritual gifts (besides the obvious nurturing aspects of motherhood),and this book offers a lot of food for thought. Teresa Tomeo and Cheryl Dickow address each of the ten gifts in different voices and from different experiences.
Cheryl writes from the perspective of a devout Catholic mother of three sons who is fascinated by the Jewish roots of Christianity, particularly the women of the Old Testament. She shares personal experience and her knowledge of the Old Testament matriarchs in a unique perspective of how modern Catholic women can learn from our ancient ancestors in faith.
Teresa, on the other hand, is a media-savvy talk show host and well-known Catholic personality who travels the world and leads pilgrimages in various holy places. She shows us how a modern Catholic woman can truly find the gift of authentic femininity in our toxic culture.
Both women share anecdotes of their personal faith journeys and relate them to each of the ten gifts. My favorite chapter was the one on The Gift of Suffering. Both Cheryl and Teresa wrote convincing essays, avoiding cliches and sentimentalism, to show us how suffering can indeed be a gift-- not an easy task!
I highly recommend Wrapped Up: God's Ten Gifts for Women and the companion journal to Catholic women in any phase of life or spiritual development.
