Holy Ambition - Thriving as a Catholic Woman at Work and at Home

Taryn DeLong, Elise Crawford Gallagher

Sinopsis

Whether you are an entrepreneur (or aspiring entrepreneur), a business or nonprofit professional, or a business student, Holy Ambition: Thriving as a Catholic Woman at Work and at Home will help you navigate work and life with Christ at the center of it all, recognizing that our most ambitious calling is to be saints. Authors Taryn DeLong and Elise Crawford Gallagher draw from Catholic Women in Business, their online community of more than five thousand Catholic professional women, to answer some of the most pressing questions about what it means to fully live out your vocation as an ambitious Catholic businesswoman, recognizing that the specifics can vary from woman to woman and from one season of life to the next. Each chapter includes wisdom and insights from saints and courageous women past and present who serve as mentors, role models, and friends. Some of the questions addressed in Holy Ambition include the following: Am I discerning God’s will for my life correctly? (Learn from St. Teresa of Calcutta, who persevered during times when she could not hear God’s voice.) Is it OK to be ambitious and build wealth? (Be encouraged by St. Jane Frances de Chantal, who used her ambition and wealth for good—to protect her children.) How can I practice my faith in a secular environment? (Be inspired by St. Gianna Molla, who built up her medical practice with unwavering faith.) How can I cultivate good relationships and get along with difficult people? (Meet St. Thérèse of Lisieux, whose “little way” enabled her to love even the most irritating and disagreeable of her religious sisters.) How can I succeed at work while being open to new life? (Discover how St. Zélie Martin found the balance between work and family life.) How can I make a difference as a Catholic entrepreneur? (See how Catherine de Hueck Doherty fought against Communism by helping the poor, the very people targeted by the Communists.) With the turn of each page, you will deepen your understanding of the feminine genius and discover how “women imbued with the spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid humanity in not falling” (St. John Paul II). The lived experiences of these women will encourage you to discover and thrive in God’s unique and unrepeatable plan for your life. Chapter questions for reflection and discussion make this the perfect choice for book clubs and small-group discussions.

Patricia Bradley

Deputy Jenna Hart has only been working in her sleepy hometown of Pearl Springs for seven months when city officials begin to be targeted by a killer. Twenty years ago, the construction of a dam caused people to lose their land to eminent domain. That wound has not healed with time, and someone bearing a grudge is clearly set on revenge. With the former mayor of Pearl Springs now running for the US Senate, Jenna will have to call in backup to ensure his protection.

The Letter in the Bible - What...

Tessa Marie Vaughn

When Hannah Briggs returns home for her father’s funeral, she isn’t prepared to unearth a secret that shatters everything she thought she knew about him—and herself. Hidden within the pages of his worn Bible is a letter addressed to a woman named Eleanor, a name she’s never heard but somehow feels strangely connected to.
 
As she digs deeper into her father’s past, Hannah turns to Joshua, her childhood friend and a quiet bookbinder with his own unspoken feelings. Together, they piece together a love story lost to silence, regret, and time—one that forces Hannah to confront the fragile lines between memory and truth, faith and forgiveness.
 
But as long-buried emotions begin to rise and the bond between her and Joshua deepens, Hannah must decide if she's ready to open her heart—not only to her family's complicated legacy, but to a second chance she never saw coming.
 
Can love bloom in the aftermath of grief and uncertainty? Or will the truth she uncovers leave her even more lost than before?
