Customer Reviews

Such incredible lives!

I long resisted buying this book, as I thought it too expensive. I finally got it on sale and wonder why I waited so long. This is an inspiring book about five incredible orthodox women. As the author states "these women jumped up from the pages" and forced her to tell of the deeper stirrings of their souls. Indeed, each one speaks to the heart of the reader in her own way. As I read of their human weaknesses, their trials and temptations and their growth in the Lord, it gives me the motivation to walk more closely with God. It also makes me realize the depth and beauty of the Orthodox faith. And the book is well worth the full price!
