Who is to say who the authentic Catholic woman is?
And how do the perils and pitfalls of modern society impact that vision?
Here is a fresh look at life from the perspective of ten Catholic women who live in the spotlight of the Internet — ten bloggers who keep it real every day with their personal posts relating their triumphs, trials, and temptations for all to see.
In the same way, nothing is off limits in Style, Sex, & Substance. Each of these women brings a refreshingly open and humorous perspective to growing in faith and improving their relationship with Christ.
Enjoy real stories, real struggles, and best of all, real faith and trust that God will bring out the best in all circumstances — whether in the family room, the bedroom, or at work.

This book is very inspirational! Especially now, when the Catholic Woman is under attack from so many angles! Highly recommend!

I bought this book after reading the blog of Hallie Lord and noticing that she helped write this. I am a 30 year old Catholic mom, and this book REALLY hit the spot for me! The chapters are so unique that any woman (but especially Catholic women) will take a lot from it. I most appreciate that the advice is very applicable and down-to-earth. Very specific examples of everything. Oh, and lots of humor!
