I've given away dozens of this classic - I just love it! Reed of God, by Caryll Houselander, is an introduction to Mary for those who really don't fancy themselves "Marian". Check it out!

This is another favorite of mine - women in the gospel, brough to life by a wise Trappestine nun who lives and work in Indonesia. Mother Martha Driscoll shares her stories with you  and draws you in to sit with Jesus as did so many women in 1st century Palestine. Reading Between the LInes is a great bible study for women.

Finally, this is the book that put Edith Stein over the edge, the Autobiography of Teresa of Avila. It is a chatty little number, and yet it is full of the kinds of spiritual wisdom that all women need. Madre Teresa was a spiritual mentor and an executive leader - we can all learn from her!
