The central conceit of this book is that it is an oral history that women passed down from generation to generation, based on inspiration by God instead of genetic relationships or priesthood authority designations. The book is given to Christ at the end of the two volumes, when he appears to righteous Lamanites and Nephites waiting for him. 

Every woman, no matter her culture, ethnicity, age, or station in life, is called to own the assignment of mothering world changers.

Growing up, I was expected to look a certain way, act a certain way, and talk a certain way. My parents pastored a few churches and my siblings and I followed their every move like ducks in a row. Everyone thought we were the perfect family. Beautiful parents who made the ultimate power couple and their talented and even more beautiful children. We were praised, admired, and envied. Yet, little did anyone know what transpired when we said our goodbyes and shut the door to our home. No one knew the secrets, the lies, the betrayals, and the sacrifices.

Home. It is an elegant word, at once both simple and far-reaching. Home is a place to live in and feel comfortable, but it is much more than that. Home is where we are nurtured, where we live, and where we love. The language of home is universal. It is where we find the eternal in the everyday. But the home has been neglected. To millions of women today, there is nothing worse than being a “homemaker”. If only they knew the supreme value (and reward) of giving loved ones a place to call home.

La dignité de la femme et sa vocation - objets constants de la réflexion humaine et chrétienne - ont pris ces dernières années un relief tout à fait particulier. On le constate, entre autres, dans les interventions du Magistère de l'église, reprises par divers documents du Concile Vatican II, qui a ensuite affirmé dans son Message final : "l'heure vient, l'heure est venue où la vocation de la femme s'accomplit en plénitude, l'heure où la femme acquiert dans la cité une influence, un rayonnement, un pouvoir jamais atteints jusqu'ici."

Esta obra é uma homenagem a todas as mulheres, mães, avós, profissionais bem-sucedidas em todas as áreas, executivas, professoras, enfermeiras, telefonistas, empregadas domésticas e donas de casa. Batalhadoras que, apesar de toda a luta diária, sabem que o seu importante desempenho é no lar, e o maior elogio que poderiam receber é justamente o que registra a Palavra de Deus: "Levantam-se seus filhos, e lhe chamam ditosa; seu marido a louva, dizendo: Muitas mulheres procedem virtuosamente, mas tu a todas sobrepujas." (Provérbios 31.28,29).

Es ist Zeit, mit Gott groß zu träumen. Denn die Berufung, die auf deinem Leben liegt, ist im Herzen Gottes geboren und hat ewige Resonanz. Tief in uns spüren wir alle, dass wir für mehr geschaffen wurden. Wir haben eine Sehnsucht in uns, oft verschüttet unter den Trümmern des Lebens und den Lasten des Alltags. Doch deine Herzenssehnsucht ist auch der Traum, den Gott träumt! Er ruft ihn in dir wach und lockt dich, seiner Stimme zu folgen. Lass dir wieder Flügel geben, die dich zum Horizont deiner vergessenen Träume tragen!

Es ist an der Zeit aufzustehen und zu erkennen, für welche Freiheit und Kraft du geschaffen wurdest. Die Welt braucht Frauen mit Dynamit im Herzen, die das verteidigen und zurückerobern, was ihnen anvertraut wurde. Denn Gott sieht in seinen Töchtern keine harmlosen Geschöpfe, sondern leidenschaftliche Streiterinnen für ihn und sein Reich.

More and more people - especially millennials - are turning to religion as a source of comfort and solace in our increasingly chaotic world. But rather than live a cloistered life of seclusion, the Daughters of Saint Paul actively embrace social media, using platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to evangelize, collectively calling themselves the #MediaNuns. In this collective memoir, eight of these Sisters share their own discernment journeys, struggles and crises of faith that they’ve overcome, and episodes from their daily lives.

What if Augustine's Confessions had been written not by a man, but by a mother? How might her tales of desire, temptation, and transformation differ from his? In this memoir, Natalie Carnes describes giving birth to a daughter and beginning a story of conversion strikingly unlike Augustine's - even as his journey becomes a surprising companion to her own. The challenges Carnes recounts will be familiar to many parents. She wonders what and how much she should ask her daughter to suffer in resisting racism, patriarchy, and injustice.
