Product Description
This special serving of Chicken Soup will uplift and inspire Christian women.

Christian women who make God and family a priority in their life will love Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul, an affirming collection of stories that share the miracles that are possible when their hearts are open to God.

This wonderful new addition is filled with compelling real-life accounts of how women from all denominations were buoyed by their faith during incredibly challenging circumstances: amazing women who maintained faith in God's divine plan instead of succumbing to fear and doubt; caring women who offered compassion instead of criticism when others needed help; and dedicated women who chose the righteous path when there was an easier one to take.

With chapters on God's Healing Power, Friendship, Making a Difference, Challenges, A Matter of Perspective, Miracles, Insights and Lessons and The Love of a Family, this faith-filled collection will encourage Christian women to follow Jesus' example on their walk through life.

Like a favorite passage from Scripture, this book will offer hope, support and inspiration to Christian women.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Wonderful Book!, June 23, 2003

By	Donna Rogers "menopauselady" (Kansas City, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars comforting, like a soft blanket, October 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul: Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit (Hardcover)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational and Moving, October 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul: Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit (Hardcover)

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.
