Gifts From Within

This volume eschews the negative, penitential focus of Lent, recognizing the needs of women who already struggle with issues of worth and self-esteem. Instead, it uses the words of women from various backgrounds to explore their uniqueness and the gifts of their feminine spiritual nature. Through this approach, Lent becomes a time of inspiration. Brigid's Place is a non-profit, ecumenical organization that supports the spiritual development of women through classes, lectures, discussion groups, workshops, and retreats. It is a ministry of Christ Church Cathedral located in downtown Houston.
