What's Missing?: Inspiration for Women Seeking Faith and Joy in Their Lives

"In What's Next?, Rena Pederson helped thousands of women discover their own "next step" by looking to the lives of successful women-famous and not-so-famous-who redefined themselves in midlife. Now, she engages another group of women in a conversation on the nature of faith from various traditions-to help you discover its role and importance in your own life. From First Lady Laura Bush and former Catholic nun and writer Karen Armstrong to Judy Collins and journalist Diane Sawyer, the women profiled and interviewed in What's Missing? have unearthed a spiritual foundation that has given them the strength to overcome obstacles and achieve success in their lives. These women-along with others from around the nation-reveal how faith in its many forms helped them withstand life's pitfalls and emerge happier, healthier, and stronger. What's Missing? will help you discover what's been missing from your life and how faith can give you direction. Inside, you'll find inspiring wisdom on how to pray; how to truly listen to others and your inner self; what doubting and questioning can lead to; how to turn your faith into action; and how faith can help reassure you in the midst of life's uncertainties.
