Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if you are doing this whole "womanhood thing" right? Lisa Cotter sure did. Coming of age in a world that told her women should be like men, she often found herself confused and frustrated with the concept of femininity. That was until she encountered St. John Paul II's writings on the "feminine genius". In Reveal the Gift: Living the Feminine Genius, Lisa uncovers a transformational vision of a woman's purpose, meaning, and gifts, which might not be exactly what you expect. Learn from saints and other heroic women how to: Live authentic Catholic womanhood Embrace life from your unique gifts Practically impact your family, church, and world through your "feminine genius" "In an age where the terms 'woman' and 'femininity' have seemingly become arbitrary, Lisa engages with the wisdom of the Church to find the authentic and beautiful meaning of what it means to be 'woman.' Sharing the examples of some stellar female saints to expound on St. John Paul II's 'feminine genius,' Lisa helps women of all ages know their true dignity and worth and finally delight and rest in being a woman." -Jackie Francois Angel Ascension Presenter and co-author of Pray, Decide, and Don't Worry: 5 Steps to Discerning God's Will "One of the hardest topics to define (and even harder to live out) is our uniquely feminine vocation as women. Our own individual stories are so often wrapped up with wounds from our past. As we know, the result is confusion and hurt, drastically affecting our lives, especially our relationships. Lisa has given us a great gift, reaping immense fruit and insight from several heroic female saints throughout the Church’s life and Lisa's own personal experiences. I am so grateful because this book will help so many!" -Sarah Swafford Speaker and author of Emotional Virtue
