From Publishers Weekly
Godly womanhood and femininity are the focal points in this book by Benkovic, founder and director of a Catholic communications ministry called Living His Life Abundantly. Using Mary, the mother of Jesus, as her prime example, Benkovic shows how Mary's faithful example of obedience provides a model for the spiritual lives of women today. In eight chapters, Benkovic discusses ways that women may incorporate spiritual practices like prayer, praise, the Eucharist and discernment into their everyday lives. The author exhorts women to be introspective and contemplative as they examine their attitudes and actions and to measure them against the standards of Godly womanhood?obedience, loyalty, wisdom, faithfulness, compassion?found in scripture. As they nurture their spirituality, Benkovic's readers can find parallels in their own spiritual lives to the lives of biblical women of faith. Benkovic's anecdotal style brings her staid admonitions to life.

Dynamic, inspiring, a spiritual path
In prose that reaches into the interior life of every woman, Johnnette Benkovic encourages women everywhere to experience God's profound love and mercy. She outlines a spiritual path that is dynamic and inspiring, and leads the reader to discover what lies latent deep within her soul. This book will benefit women of all ages, but is also a light for men who desire to live an abundant life in relationship with God. I recommend it highly.

Powerful! A 'must' for every library!
A stimulating and inspiring book with practical guidelines on how to live a victorious "grace-filled" life by patterning one's thoughts, words and actions after Mary, the perfect handmaiden. Full of Grace is like a manual that guides you through the basics of prayer, eucharistic adoration, spiritual direction, discerning the promptings of the Holy Spirit and growing in spiritual wisdom. I especially enjoyed chapter 7 entitled: "Resurrection" which helps you identify the "wounds of the heart" and offers practical guidelines for inner healing. This practical and insightful book may be used for personal or group study. It will help you to grow spiritually and to be a conduit of grace to others. Next to the Catechism and Bible it is a "must" for every library!
