| | Description | Finding God Every Day
God is present to us in ways too numerous to count. Unfortunately, we are often so busy that we fail to recognize and respond to this active presence. A Catholic Woman’s Book of Days offers daily meditations that clear a spiritual place—a time in our day when we can set our hearts on God. The meditations are brief, pointed, direct, and personal—and will connect you to God’s word and the Catholic faith.
While a number of successful devotionals for women have been published for the general Christian market, A Catholic Woman's Book of Days is the first resource in the Catholic market featuring daily devotions and prayers for women. Written by Amy Welborn, the devotional entries are pointed and brief, and help Catholic women connect their everyday concerns with God's Word in the context of their Catholic faith. Each entry is introduced by a Scripture verse and followed by a one-sentence prayer. These devotions and prayers are sure to provide Catholic women with a dose of God's grace each day of the year.

 Compact but Profound Apr 10, 2006
By Lisa M. Hendey
"Mom, Blogger, Podcaster, Author"
I'm a big fan of Amy Welborn's writing, so it's no surprise that I loved A Catholic Woman's Book of Days. At the core of this book, however, lies the reason that I'm a Welborn fan. In succinct fashion, this book manages to educate, provoke and inspire the reader. Each of the daily offerings in the book includes a scripture reference, a two to five paragraph reflection, and a closing prayer. In her introductory remarks, Welborn shares that in this book she's tried to help the reader "clear a spiritual space" in her busy life to recognize the Presence of God.
Like most of the women I know, Welborn is a busy professional, a wife and mother who seems to "do it all" with great success. Perhaps that is why she was able to write this book in a tone that hits home for so many of us. If you're looking to make quiet time and daily prayer a part of your spiritual life, you will find this book to be a wonderful companion. A great gift for women of any age or situation, or a give yourself a treat and add it to your spiritual library.

 Catholic Book of Days May 05, 2008
By kymag
This book is well written, but it is not relevant to me...over 50, no children. The readings deal with family life joys and problems, most of which I have not experienced. Therefore, I cannot draw meaning from the devotions. Also, the devotions seem to be mostly the story of her life, not any good advice for me. A young woman with children...a stay at home mom...would probably benefit from this book.

Uplifting! Mar 24, 2006
By A. Hessong
"Searching the Faith"
As a busy mom, I don't have a lot of time to read "extra" stuff. But, when I saw this book, something called out to me. I now have it in my car. I read the short day's scripture & story and off I go. I find it helps me think of better things through out my day other than the traffic or the myriad of things I have to do. Mrs. Welborne's writting opens your heart to let the Holy Spirit roam free inside you throughout your day!

Offers a Quick Daily Jolt of Spirituality Mar 26, 2007
By Patrice Fagnant-macarthur
In most of her works, Amy Welborn has a very straight-forward direct writing style. A forty-something mother of five children ranging in age from toddler to adult, former teacher, and accomplished writer and blogger, she comes across as a woman not to be messed with. Her beliefs and her faith are rock-solid and she will defend them to the death. In "A Catholic Woman's Book of Day's," I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to meet a softer side of Welborn.
This book offers a reflection for each day of the year, beginning with a scripture verse, then Welborn's comments, and concluding with a short prayer. In her reflections, Welborn shares stories from her own life, her struggles with parenting and her career and her pain at not being able to be at her mother's side as she passed away. She conveys all the hopes and prayers that all of us who struggle to make our way in the world can relate to. She speaks of having difficulties with her spiritual life at times and finding the faith to keep going. She offers her prayers of thanksgiving and praise and contrition and petition. She invites us to walk a year's journey with her.
These short reflections are perfect for a quick jolt of spirituality in the morning, or anytime in the day when you have five minutes to spare. Welborn has outdone herself with "A Catholic Woman's Book of Days."

Nice to have a little page to read each day to remind us of our true purpose in this world. Nothing to stress about if page skipped ~ no expiration date with this book :)
