...then you have ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO READ THIS TRITE, SHALLOW PIECE OF GARBAGE:
I'm not quite sure what I was looking for as I began this book, but I flung it across the room after 3 pages. I thumbed through the rest of it in hopes for some glimmer of concrete Truth, but it's just filled with obnoxious comparisons and worldly metaphors. I'm sure the woman who wrote it is a very nice Catholic lady, but I wouldn't recommend this book at all, especially to a woman who is despairing in her vocation.
I'd recommend Captivating by Stasi Elderidge. Elderidge, unlike Stimpson, writes in such a way that you want God to be your vocation. She writes in a way that speaks to your feminine heart so that you fall more in love with HIM, and not pine away in a black-hole of self pity because you aren't married yet (which is, apparently and temporarily fixed by flowers, shopping, and chick flicks) .
