Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul: Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

Purchase shortly after my divorce. Comforting and a reminder that you are not the only one with problems. Another favorite Chicken Soup book.

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.

We are blessed to have yet another collection of amazing stories to read and to share. Also of note is the tone of the book which is gentle and lovingly points the reader to draw their own conclusions - there is absolutely no offensive preachyness here! I would highly recommend this as a great gift or to read yourself! Thanks again to the Chicken Soup Team - you have done it again!

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!

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.
