Book Review

Christ’s Gifts to Women, by Heather B. Moore and Angela Eschler, is an elegant hardbound book, the kind you would want to display on your coffee table in the middle of the living room. The illustrated artwork inside is beautiful and inspiring and so is the message.

As women today, it's easy to get caught up in the way the world downplays our inherent worth as choice daughters of God and our roles as nurturer to our families and others. In Angela and Heather's book, the 5 gifts Christ has given to women are discussed with insight and detail, and these gifts—mercy, experience, wholeness, nurturing, and seeing—are related to the women in Biblical times who faced and conquered challenges and relate to us, as women in the present-day.

This is a book to be pondered over and re-read, and would make a wonderful gift for any woman. There are many quotes and scriptures throughout the book that help one re-gain an eternal perspective quickly during times of loss, discouragement, loneliness or heartache. Here’s a few of my favorites:

“The future is as bright as your faith.”

“The Savior has power to heal us all in each and every aspect of our lives, if we but reach out to him.”

“As we focus on other concerns in our lives, we may miss seeing the Savior standing right beside us.”

“For with God nothing shall be impossible”
-Luke 1:37
