I absolutely L.O.V.E.D this book. It was so amazing. I really needed to read something inspirational and uplifting, and this was it.
As usual, I didn't agree with everything in the book. I think when it comes to religion, it's almost impossible for 2 people to truly agree on everything. But there was enough in there that I did agree/identify with that I will probably reread it a million times in my life.

On the negative side, apparently in Ronda Rich's eyes there is only one way to be a Christian - - - the southern way! I guess I will never understand that southern pride thing. On the positive side, I did appreciate and will try to apply to my life what southern women are good at: continuous prayer and kindness whenever possible. Wonderful ways to build a closer relationship to God and to others.
I just loved this book. It had me laughing, crying and reminscing. Everything I know about faith happens to come from Southern women and those women have had a tremendous impact on my life. A very enjoyable and quick read. I highly recommend it, southern or not! Rich is a great storyteller and reading this book made me want to read her other works.
I laughed, I cried, I grabbed a highlighter, I wanted to buy a copy for every one of my dear Southern Gal Pals who are fellow Women of Faith - wonderfully written, you can just hear the author's sweet Southern drawl as she relates short stories lifted from both her childhood and adult years. Love it!!
A great inspirational book. I really did enjoy it. Many of the things that the author wrote about was said to me by my mama. If you are a faith filled woman...and even if your not this is a must read!!!
Intertwining Southern life with religion. Nostalgic, in my opinion. Sadly, generally not true of families today.
Rhonda Rich shares her southern faith with humor, wit and wisdom. Inspiring example of Southern women and their faith! Great one to share!
This was an uplifting read about faith. I am of a different faith than the author but still found it to be a thoughtful lovely book which was worth taking the time to read carefully.
"What Southern Women Know about Faith" lifted my spirit and had my soul singing. The stories are told in Ronda Rich's Southern perspective but have Universal themes of the ties that bind us together-family, friends, faith, hope and love. Ronda Rich has once again proven herself as a talented story teller and faith warrior. I loved this book
Highly recommend. Thought provoking, inspiring and funny as all get out!

Oh, the memories this book evoked. I will be buying this one and passing it around the family with personal annotations. Precious memories indeed.
This is a book I will refer back to again and again! It is so good and I have thoroughly enjoyed it, one of my favorites!
If you are older than fifty and grew up in the South, you will enjoy this book.
It brought living faith into an everyday reality. Wonderful book.
