Publisher's Description
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.

“Most of the women I know long for mothers and sisters who will walk with us, navigate challenges beside us, and offer us wisdom when we don’t know which way is up. Luckily, Tiffany Bluhm and her coalition of powerhouse women have seen that longing and answered it with a round of introductions. As it turns out, the women we’ve been waiting for were around us—and within us—the whole time.”
“Our collective flourishing requires a practice of solidarity, which is embodied within the very structure of this book. Tiffany invites us to celebrate historical figures and biblical matriarchs who inspire us as we wrestle with God, surrounded by the wisdom of our sisters. Individuals and communities will feel empowered as they learn from this collection of voices.”

“The Women We’ve Been Waiting For is a bold and beautiful reminder of all the women—in Scripture and beyond—who have gone before us. Through stories of those who exhibit both tender vulnerability and fierce strength, Bluhm and others invite us to ponder, to grieve, to celebrate, to hope, and to bring our full selves to the sacred table for the sake of our individual and collective flourishing.”
