Your Truest Self
Embracing the Woman You Are Meant to Be
by Janice Lynne Lundy
In this day when so many are spending vast sums on Sam-e and 5HTP to say nothing of energy workers, body
work and therapy, all they may need is Janice Lynne Lundy’s Your Truest Self.
Written primarily for women with a Roman Catholic inclination, it would probably inspire anyone lucky
enough to find it in their hands. Lundy assembles interviews and wisdom with what she calls "holy women"
like Joyce Rupp, Naomi Judd, and Mari Gayatri Stein. Some might argue that makes her more editor than author
but they would be missing the importance of the journalist, woman and soul who made this book happen.
Truest Self is full of insight both from the author and from her guests. It is beautifully
presented with quotations and affirmations—even questions to reflect upon and peaceful pauses.
I recommend those looking for serenity spend a moment with this book. |
