Reviews
“Many of us today are recognizing the need to develop in our busy
lifestyles the daily discipline of reflection; really, of claiming our lives, our
stories as revelatory of God’s love. MOMS: A Personal
Journal is an important resource for this prayerful activity, especially for
those whose vocation is that of being a mom.”
— Edward Sellner, author of Mentoring: The Ministry of
Spiritual Kinship and Soul-Making: The Telling of a Spiritual
Journey
“MOMS: A Personal Journey is for you and for your real but
sometimes neglected personal needs. Try it!”
— Fr. William J. Fitzgerald, St. Gregory Parish, Ralston,
Neb.
“I so wish I had a MOMS group when my sons and I were younger.
As it is, I have only in later years learned to share, to journal and to grow as
I see your young mothers doing now.”
— Donna M. Hanson, secretary, Office of Social Ministries,
Spokane, Wash.
