Description:
The Catholic Women’s Devotional Bible is designed specifically to nourish a
woman’s spirituality, making it easy to form a habit of daily prayer and
reading. It includes a year’s worth of meditations, drawn from classic and
contemporary sources, all written by women.
Designed especially to meet the needs of Catholics and those accustomed to
liturgically-based forms of worship, it includes a six-year reading plan tied to
the lectionary, making it easy to locate readings for daily and Sunday
liturgies. Additionally, each weekend devotional is based on the life of a
particular woman of the Bible, helping you see the relevance of her story today.
Each book of the Bible is preceded by a brief introduction highlighting its
historical context and its most important themes. Additional articles focus on
