Review:

Many of us today are recognizing the need to develop in our busy lifestyles the daily discipline of reflection; really, of claiming our lives, our stories as revelatory of God's love. MOMS: A Personal Journal is an important resource for this prayerful activity, especially for those whose vocation is that of being a mom. --Edward Sellner, author of Mentoring: The Ministry of Spiritual Kinship and Soul-Making: The Telling of a Spiritual Journey

MOMS: A Personal Journal is for you and for your real but sometimes neglected personal needs. Try it! --Fr. William J. Fitzgerald, St. Gregory Parish, Ralston, Nebraska

I so wish I had a MOMS group when my sons and I were younger. As it is, I have only in later years learned to share, to journal, and to grow as I see your young mothers doing now. --Donna M. Hanson, secretary, office of social ministries, Spokane, Washington
