The Women We've Been Waiting for - by Tiffany Bluhm (Hardcover)

About the Book

This 40-day devotional invites readers to see their spiritual growth and self-care as crucial to their work in the world. As women care for themselves spiritually, they are better equipped to address broken systems and effect social change.

Book Synopsis

These days, society tells women they can buy self-care in a store or cross it off a to-do list.

In this 40-day devotional, Tiffany Bluhm invites women into a deeper, more meaningful understanding of self-care that includes faith, rest, joy, lament, collaboration, and empowerment. Bluhm shows how self-care is critical to women's spiritual growth and empowerment to make a difference in the world.

The Women We've Been Waiting For weaves together Scripture, liturgies, and stories of historical figures to show women that caring for themselves is the first step toward renewing their own souls and tackling the social problems they care most about. Bluhm draws from her own writing as well as guest contributions from a diverse group of ministers, authors, and activists. Each devotion invites readers to learn from women who have managed tension, survived the seemingly impossible, and embodied a resilient faith.

Readers will emerge from their 40-day journey with a more vibrant spirituality to fuel them in their everyday lives.
