review: Editorial Reviews Review This is not a book to be read once and put away on a shelf. This is a spiritual companion for mothers to turn to time and time again. Carrie Gress provides here a precious resource to help us navigate the ups and downs of real-life motherhood while growing in grace at the same time. With refreshing honesty, practical advice, and a wealth of wisdom from the Church, Ultimate Makeover will help any woman make the most of her motherhood. --Gina Loehr, author of The Four Teresas and Saint Francis, Pope Francis I am grateful for this book. Up until now the Protestants have cornered this market by focusing upon the Proverb's woman: "Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the LORD is to be praised" (Proverbs 31:30). What Carrie Gress has done is added a Catholic depth to a beautiful Protestant insight, but shown the depth through all the virtues and the lives of the saints. --Msgr. Charles Pope Ultimate Makeover is an outside-the-box view of motherhood, offering a new perspective for not merely surviving but thriving as a mother today. --Vicki Thorn, founder of Project Rachel About the Author Carrie Gress has a doctorate in philosophy from the Catholic University of America and was the Rome bureau chief of Zenit's English edition. She is co-author with George Weigel of City of Saints: A Pilgrimage to John Paul II's Krakow and the author of Nudging Conversions , published by Beacon Publishing in 2015. A mother of four, she and her family live in Virginia.
