Manual for Women

This book is a comprehensive guide to Catholic womanhood that covers a wide range of topics including faith, family life, work, relationships, and personal growth. The book is structured as a series of short chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of a woman's life, with practical advice and inspiration drawn from scripture, Church teaching, and the author's own experiences. One of the strengths of the book is its emphasis on the unique role and dignity of women in God's plan. Bean affirms the beauty and worth of women as daughters of God, and encourages them to embrace their femininity and use their gifts to serve others. She also acknowledges the challenges and struggles that many women face, and offers practical advice and encouragement for navigating them with grace and faith. Another strength of the book is its accessibility and readability. Bean writes in a clear and engaging style that is easy to follow and understand, even for readers who may not be familiar with Catholic theology or terminology. The short chapters and practical tips make the book ideal for busy women who want to deepen their faith and improve their lives but may not have a lot of time to devote to reading. Overall, "Manual for Women" is an inspiring and informative resource that will be valuable for Catholic women at all stages of life. Whether readers are looking for guidance on marriage and family life, spiritual growth and prayer, or career and personal development, they will find practical wisdom and encouragement in this book. It is a must-read for any woman seeking to live out her Catholic faith in a meaningful and authentic way. I personally use this book as a guide for developing a women's retreat.

A beautiful book that I believe any woman of faith should read, especially being a catholic. My Wife was interested in my manual for men that I was reading and was wondering if they had one for women so I looked it up and found this and she thinks it’s an amazing book

"Manual for Women" is a fabulous companion for any Catholic woman. Mrs. Bean fills each page with useful wisdom for women of every age and walk of life. The dedication on the very first page is spot on ... "To the perfect example of feminine genius lived out with perfection, my mother and yours, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Thank you for praying me through my stumbling journey towards home." Perfectly imperfect!

I love this book. It is inspiring and relevant. I especially love the prayers included. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

This is a lovely book that I read at night just before going to sleep. It is inspiring and beautifully published. It would make a great gift for someone.

I love reading. I purchased "Manual for Men". I get so much wisdom from this book, that I cannot explain. God speaks to us in many ways! Anyway I found "Manual for Women", and bought it for my wife. My wife LOVES this book. My wife too is touched by the WORD spoken in this little book. I highly recommend these books for all that wish to better themselves.

Beautiful book. Love the color, the gilded pages, and the ribbon. However, the cover does not seem to be as good of quality as the other Tan Books’ manuals.

The book was smaller than I expected but other than that I love this book. The color is beautiful and the pages are lined with gold. It's nice to have something inspirational to read in the am or when ever you need a little pick me up or looking for advice. Would be a wonderful gift for any woman.

I bought the Manual for Men for my husband and he loved it very much. So I thought to get the Women's one for myself. Thought that it would give me more insight on my faith, but it felt a little bit bias. With it's expectation of woman raising children and grandmothers helping raise grandchildren. What if our vocation does not include children? It should have been titled "Manual for raising children" not "Women" per se. Aesthetically, the binding, cover and colour are lovely. Maybe it just hit a sore spot for me as some people I know are unable to have children and I'm relieved I've read it before gifting to anyone. It does talk about virtues for women, but I just wish it doesnt sound like an expectation all women have children when God has decided some women's vocation are in other fields. This book is not for every woman.

I am loving this book. A gentle read for all women. I highly recommend.
