Women of Grace


Book Description

Every woman has something in her life that's broken and needs the covering of God's grace. None of us have lived perfect or pristine lives. We all have baggage in our past, secrets in our closets, or hurts in our heart. The Lord, however, stands ready and willing to cover our lives with grace. He reaches into our pit and redeems. He uses the difficult events of life to bring hope -simply by grace. Eight imperfect women in the lineage of Christ prove that no one is beyond the grace of God. Using the genealogy of Jesus, as recorded in the book of Matthew, Jennifer explores the Biblical accounts of these eight women, illustrating each account with pieces of her own story. Women of Grace brings home the truth; God's grace is bigger than our choices.

Queen of Militants


Book Description

In the forward to his book, Queen of Militants, Father Neubert describes this drama between the forces of heaven and the forces of hell as they work through the machinations of those persons caught in their grip. He writes to the Church Militant, those of us on earth who belong to Christ:Your task may appear desperately difficult. Your enemies are more numerous than you; they have at their command inexhaustible resources; they are organized with a cleverness that one is almost tempted to call satanic.It is of prime importance, then, that you do not "beat the air," that your every step and your every move contribute to victory. And it is necessary that this victory be as complete as possible, for it concerns the cause of Christ and of His Church; it involves the temporal and eternal welfare of numberless souls.So, how can this battle be waged, and how can the militant organize his steps so that each contributes to victory? Father Neubert gives the answer. He gives us a playbook, a strategy to follow, which has everything to do with the Queen of Militants, the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a teacher guides a student through a process of development and discovery, so too, does Father Neubert lead his reader to the key principles of heaven's strategy to win the war through Mary's maternal beatitude and intercession. He instructs us in the life of a militant, how Mary forms and develops the militant for the struggle, of what the combat consists, and finally the prayers and devotional practices that are the fuel for victory. Gems of spiritual insight and wisdom follow one after the other in a path that leads to triumph.While the historic context of Queen of Militants is particular to the tensions and struggles of the mid 20th Century, the content of the book is as relevant today as it was then.

If she accepts God's call to authentic womanhood, her role, in the words of a closing speech at Vatican Council II, becomes nothing less than to "aid humanity in not falling."

From Oppression to Grace


Book Description

This book gives voice to the experiences of women of color--women of African, Native American, Latina, East Indian, Korean and Japanese descent--as students pursuing terminal degrees and as faculty members navigating the Academy, grappling with the dilemmas encountered by others and themselves as they exist at the intersections of their work and identities.Women of color are frequently relegated--on account both of race and womanhood--into monolithic categories that perpetuate oppression, subdue and suppress conflict, and silence voices. This book uses critical race feminism (CRF) to place women of color in the center, rather than the margins, of the discussion, theorizing, research and praxis of their lives as they co-exist in the dominant culture. The first part of the book addresses the issues faced on the way to achieving a terminal degree: the struggles encountered and the lessons learned along the way. Part Two, "Pride and Prejudice: Finding Your Place After the Degree" describes the complexity of lives of women with multiple identities as scholars with family, friends, and lives at home and at work. The book concludes with the voices of senior faculty sharing their journeys and their paths to growth as scholars and individuals.This book is for all women of color growing up in the academy, learning to stand on their own, taking first steps, mastering the language, walking, running, falling and getting up to run again--and illuminates the process of self-definition that is essential to their growth as scholars and individuals.
