“The remarkable women celebrated in [this] vibrantly illustrated collection . . . offer stirring words of encouragement to any woman, of any age” (Booklist).

In this richly illustrated volume, bestselling author and artist Lisa Congdon explores the power of women over the age of forty who are thriving and living life on their own terms. A Glorious Freedom includes profiles, interviews, and essays from women such as Vera Wang, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Julia Child, Cheryl Strayed, and many others who have found creative fulfillment and accomplished great things in the second half of their lives. Each section is lavishly illustrated and hand-lettered in Congdon's signature style.

Many of us fail to recognize that obtaining the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential to getting to heaven. We often block their reception through our own faults. We fail to see how they are passed on or strengthened in the sacraments. And, sadly, we forget to petition God in prayer to bestow these gifts upon us. In these pages, Dr. Kevin Vost — best-selling author of The One-Minute Aquinas — provides us with a substantive yet readable introduction to the seven gifts and how we can humbly submit our wills to the stirrings of the Holy Spirit. As Dr. Vost explains, these God-given gifts help us to conform our lives to His image, intellect and will. They prevent us from being drawn into frustration – and possibly self-destruction – by following our own sensual appetites. Indeed, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the only path to being fully happy on earth and in the life to come. With St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure as his guides, Dr. Vost introduces you to the special charism of the Holy Spirit before explaining each gift one by one. You’ll discover the special meaning behind each of the natural and theological virtues, and you’ll learn the indispensible link between the seven gifts and the Beatitudes. You’ll also learn: How the seven gifts differ from the fruits of the Holy Spirit.The three ways to perfect fear of the Lord.The one sacrament that helps you fortify fortitude – it’s not the one you think.How the gift of knowledge differs from the gift of understanding.The seven steps to unwrapping – and sharing – each of the Holy Spirit’s gifts.The greatest of the seven gifts – and why you must possess it to attain heaven.Are the seven gifts habits we must develop, or does the Holy Spirit instill the habits in us? Don’t let another year go by without unwrapping and enjoying the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Read this book, and then accept the seven gifts the Holy Spirit so desperately wants to give you.
What is this Amazing Grace that saves us? This world could not fully understand what divine grace is till it was disclosed through the incarnation of Jesus, the Christ. After 2,000 years the believing followers of the Christ still cannot fully apprehend the depth of that grace. Even today this incredible salvation continually amazes those of us who have been touched by Gods grace. It is my prayer that this observant and grace-filled, faith-filled book will help you fulfill your fundamental vocation in life: to grow in holiness and to be conformed to the image of God. Grace is the only answer to mankinds need for meaning, purpose and fellowship with God. This book will help you learn more of the lavish abundance of grace freely given to all Gods children, and discover just how powerfully His grace moves in a life surrendered to Christ! This book is filled with quotations, Scripture, and heartwarming stories. This book will encourage you to embrace and enjoy Gods grace - and freely extend it to others. As you experience your true identity in Christ, youll come to know Amazing Grace as not just a song but as your true way of life! And now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you among all who are sanctified (Acts 20:32 NIV).
