A woman's vocation is to love—indeed, this feminine gift is essential to the health and strength of civilization. Yet women cannot love freely unless they can move past the personal wounds that are inevitable in a fallen world. With this eminently practical book filled with relatable examples, the reader will discover not only how to forgive, but what is possible when she is freed to love as God intended.
The Authentic Catholic Woman, by Genevieve Kineke, is an accessible book that shows how all women are called to live as icons of Holy Mother Church. This practical template includes women of all ages, in all places, in all walks of life. A study guide is available for those who would like to read it together as a group.
For women, the greatest obstacle to loving those around us is the pain of past injuries or the bitterness attached to various experiences in life. The Authentic Catholic Woman’s Guide to Forgiveness follows up on the previous book, expanding on the explanation of how to forgive in clear, practical terms.
