Who Does He Say You Are?: Women Transformed by Christ in the Gospels
In Who Does He Say You Are?, Catholic missionary and speaker Colleen Mitchell tells the stories of thirteen women from the Gospels and how they answer the crucial question of identity in the book’s title. With Mary as the ultimate example of intimate, transforming union, Mitchell weaves together moving anecdotes of her own search for identity as a Catholic woman along with accounts of women in Scripture that reveal the healing, grace and purpose God has in store for all of us.

What would you look like if you could see yourself as Jesus sees you? Who would you be if Jesus healed all your wounds, both physical and emotional? For most of us, the answers to those questions are a far cry from who we are today. We have been beaten down by the weight of life, the pain of untold sorrows, and the lies that Satan is all too eager to tell us.
In 2009, Colleen C. Mitchell lost an infant son who stopped breathing. She then lost another to miscarriage. In the midst of her pain, she and her family moved to Costa Rica to be missionaries, an experience that served as “rehab for [her] soul.” Colleen shares that she found God “in his Word, in his Eucharistic presence, in the quiet stillness of my new life . . . In the stories of the women of the Gospels, he showed me myself and he reminded me of who he was. And then he said, ‘And this is who I say that you are.’”
Mitchell hopes that those women who read Who Does He Say You Are? (Servant Books, 2016) will find “a mirror that reflects back to you the image of God in which you were created . . . [and that] you will be reminded of the woman you are meant to be.”
Several noteworthy women of the Gospels are profiled including: Mary, the mother of Jesus; Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist; Anna the prophetess; the Samarian woman at the well; the hemorrhaging woman; the woman caught in adultery; Martha and Mary of Bethany; the sinful woman who anoints Jesus; the woman crippled by a demon; the Syrophoenician woman; Mary, the wife of Clopas; and Mary Magdalene.
Each chapter begins with the scripture passage featuring the chosen woman. Mitchell then offers a reflection, shedding new light on the story while incorporating her own life experience, focusing on Jesus’ relationship with the woman. She then examines what we can learn from these sisters in Christ and what Jesus wants to say to each one of us.
Questions for reflections are also included. While this book would be ideal for a Catholic book club or Bible Study, some of the questions are very intimate in nature and would perhaps be better suited for personal reflection or journaling rather than sharing in a group.
Who Does He Say You Are is an honest portrayal of the wounds that women carry and the ways that Jesus wants to heal us and use us to further his kingdom. Mitchell invites us to imagine who we could be; who God made us to be before sin and pain in suffering got in the way. These biblical women serve as examples and friends. Their stories are worth meditating on and learning from. We can listen to Jesus speak to us words of comfort and healing by listening to them.

I was a little disappointed with this. I was excited about the premise: short chapters or vignettes starting with a scripture passage featuring a woman connected to Jesus--Mary, Jesus’s mother; Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist; the woman of Samaria; the adulteress; Mary Magdalene… I’ve always been intrigued by the importance women have played in scripture. For a segment of the population that had very few liberties, women have been given some stunning roles in Jesus’s life. But I didn’t feel this book explored that angle very well. What it seemed to do was pull metaphors out of each passage; for example, “uncleanliness” re the passage of the hemorrhaging woman. And then that metaphor would be expounded on until you felt you were sitting through a long and drawn out sermon that went on for longer than necessary. I was not quite looking for “feminist theology” with this book--maybe something that spoke more about equality, liberties, freedom, women’s roles… This just felt a little too “light” for me...dare I say it, it was like it was written for “mom”-types looking for feel-good reflections. I was also very annoyed by how the author kept calling the reader "sister." Some of the chapters were interesting: I did like the angle the Martha and Mary chapter took, as it presented an interpretation of the reading that I had never thought of, as well as the reflection about Mary, the wife of Clopas. Time, though, to look for something a little heavier-hitting in the area of women of scripture and their relationship to the Christ story...

When I began reading Mrs. Mitchell's book I had this thought, "Another book about the women in the Bible." The book opens with Mary, the Mother of Jesus and its final chapter focuses on Mary Magdalene. Sounds fairly elementary-bible-school, doesn't it? But allow me to say what is in and between these chapters is some of the most anointed writing I've ever laid eyes on.
When the Mitchell's lost their beloved infant son, Bryce, Colleen went into a deep despair and God took her to the river! Each day she would pack food and treats for her five boys and herself and she sat on the banks of that river watching her sons play and splash. But they weren't the only ones in the water. The Holy Spirit of God, symbolized by water, enveloped this woman's heart and soul and pen. Living Water pours from the pages of this book.
When you choose to read "Who Does He Say You Are?" get ready for an outpouring of conviction, compassion, and completion. Because when the Savior of the World tells you WHO YOU ARE? You are complete. Completely complete.
I do not say this half-heartedly, I believe I am changed by this book. Christ in me - the Hope of Glory.

Don't have time to write a lengthier review but have to say that Chapter 11 blew me away and I'm glad I read the book all the way through. Definitely going on my book gift list this year. Would recommend to every Catholic woman I know, but especially if you call yourself a Catholic feminist. :)

I started out listening to this book for an Instagram read-along, but found I couldn't keep up with the discussion and read the rest on my own. I think this book would be great to suggest to anyone who thinks the Catholic church doesn't value women. The last three or four chapters felt the most relatable to me, but I think different Biblical women inspire different types of people. I also liked the author's descriptive yet conversational writing style.

This book was a chore! I am so disappointed. I was incredibly excited to read this book. Other than the Virgin Mary, I feel like women in the bible are often overlooked and their importance downplayed. With that sentiment, this book sounded perfect. A story focusing on the women of the New Testament and their transformations from their encounters with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The premise did not live up to the execution though. The author introduces each woman with a gospel passage, then moves to explain their importance and symbolism for our lives. The author is repetitive and often seems to be preaching at us. She mixes in her own personal story, which is heartbreaking, but I feel she fails to really connect everything together and move me.
Writing I felt patronized my her constant use of the word "friends" to refer to her readers. It was annoying and didn't make the personal connection she was aiming for. Her opening chapter on the Virgin Mary I felt like downplayed the importance of the mother and did not explore all her many important roles and examples. I enjoyed the chapter on Elizabeth, but after that I started to become disinterested. I disagreed with her interpretation of Mary and Martha of Bethany and feel that the book "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" did a better job exploring the sisters. Finally, Mary Magdalene. I was offended by her interpretation of Mary of Magdalene because the author portrays her as ignorant and not understanding the importance of the Lord's words when she encounters him at the tomb. Mary, his devote follower who stood before him at the cross and listened to all his teachings. Mary who had more faith than the disciples and did not demand to see his wounds so he could prove he was the Lord. This Mary, a woman of pure faith, doesn't understand the Lord's ascension? No! That really bugged me to the point that I wanted to put the book down and not pick it up again.
This book had a great idea, but the execution needed editing and more research.

Colleen pours her soul into her reflections on the women the Gospels mention meeting Jesus, and allows us to see how we are there too and can learn from them. Good for women especially in their spiritual growth and group discussion.

When you open up Colleen C. Mitchell's book, Who Does He Say You Are, expect to be surprised, challenged and changed. Colleen brings out the qualities in several Gospel women that are in every woman, and directs our spiritual journey as we discover how we can be healed as they were. Throughout the book, she shares her own journey of brokenness, faith, healing and trust. The Questions for Reflection at the end of each chapter aren't merely journal prompts: they are calls to action.

I recommend reading with a book study group- this is not something I could have read cover to cover on my own, but with a group of women to discuss it with, it was great!
March 23, 2019
First I want to say that I read this book with a study group, and some of the women seemed to really enjoy it. But I did not. The writing is incredibly verbose. I think the author is also guilty of some potentially worrisome eisegesis. I’m going to pull an example from the book to illustrate both. In the chapter on the woman caught in adultery, Jesus says, “Go, and from now on sin no more.” The author reinterprets this brief sentence as: “Yes, you fell, but you will not live here forever, in the dust of your sin. You will rise. You will walk out into your life again. And you will live. You will not half-live with the half-hope of having squeaked your way out of this one because I was nice. You will live full and purposeful, and you will walk in hope and radiant beauty because you are more than forgiven; you are free. The salvation you lost has been returned to you, and you have a new life to spend and invest in a new way. And I have faith in you, love. I know you will do better this time around. Go. You’ve got this.” All that from Jesus’ few words? That’s a bold if not dangerous presumption. And that’s pretty much the style of the whole book. The author takes something that could be said in a paragraph and makes it fill three pages, with constant run-ons no less. It bothered me enough that I started counting words. There are many sentences with 50 or 60 words and one that had 84. 84 words is not a sentence; that’s just a string of words and commas.
Flowery writing is not my thing, and I can’t judge the book too harshly on that basis alone. The bigger problem was how often I found myself disagreeing with the author. Most of the chapter on Mary and Martha, for example, talks about how we shouldn’t be jealous of women who seem to be closer to Jesus than we are. But Martha’s issue was that she didn’t appreciate the need to be close to Jesus in the first place. Then in a chapter on the sinful woman who anoints Jesus, the author tried to equate guilt and grief as barriers to prayer when those two things are very different. In the chapter on the woman crippled by a demon, I actually loved the way the author pointed out how Jesus healed this woman without her having to ask. He freed her from the demon simply because he saw a soul in need of rescue. But the rest of the chapter seems to suggest that the devil’s only means of attack is through our self-esteem. That’s it? The devil’s worst is making us feel bad about ourselves? Doesn’t the conscience also do this, and for good reason? There was no attempt to distinguish between who we are and what we do. This seems to carry the overall theme of the book, which I could paraphrase as “Don’t worry, Jesus thinks you’re awesome no matter what.” While it’s true that none of us deserve God’s love, and it’s great to be reminded that he offers it anyway, that doesn’t mean we should stop striving. This book doesn’t seem to have enough balance. It’s all about feeling okay with where you are without encouragement to avoid spiritual sloth. Given that the subtitle includes the word “transformed,” this may not have been the author’s intent. I may have missed something in the paragraphs I skimmed when I assumed they were repeating what had already been said twice.

What a brilliant concept for a book - looking at the women in the Gospels and how they can inspire women today. It’s nice to see the women - even women who were unnamed in Scripture - being recognised and honoured for their role, whether big or small.
Each chapter begins with a Gospel passage about that particular woman, unpacks what we know about the woman from the passage, and then attempts to apply that to the lives of women living today. This works excellently in some cases - such as with Anna, also with the Samarian woman.
The problem is that for many of these women we simply don’t know enough about them to cover a whole chapter. For example, Mary, the wife of Clopas is mentioned in about one sentence of the Gospel, and while it is wonderful to appreciate that she stood at the bottom of the cross with Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the Beloved Disciple, that’s not enough to fill a chapter. In this chapter and many others, it felt that the writer was attempting to flesh out the chapter with very little information. The result was a lack of real substance in those chapters and a lot of repetition.
Perhaps it would have been better if certain chapters had been fleshed out more. Instead of trying to cover as many women as possible, I would have preferred focusing on the women we can know more about from Scripture.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the book, but unfortunately the second part let it down so that I found myself racing through it. A great concept, but I feel it shouldn’t have tried to cover so many women we know so little about. A book with longer chapters about the women with key interactions with Jesus would have been more appreciated.

Technically I haven't finished reading this book yet, but I will have to finish it because it is the book our women's Bible study group is reading this semester. But hopefully by writing this review now I can save at least one person from wasting time and money on this drivel. When we chose this book for our next study, I was expecting uplifting messages on how we all can serve Christ with our own gifts, how Christ loves us all in spite of our short comings, stories about strong women in the Bible - more of Sarah, less of Abraham, more of Rehab, less of Joshua. I thought we were going to see how when Christ calls us, we can answer his call. Instead, each chapter is full of Colleen's whining and crying and poor-pitiful-me-ing ad nauseum. Instead of thanking Christ for her many blessings, she moans of her unworthiness, word after word, sentence after sentence, paragraph after paragraph, chapter after chapter. So far I have read 9 of the 12 chapters and only one of those was good. I started grading them - all except that one I gave a D minus or F. Please, please, please, don't waste your money, don't waste your time. I am sure there are plenty more books out there to learn about women of the Bible.

I got this book through Women in the New Evangelization, an organization that sponsors several things, including a summer book club. I didn't want to jump right into leading a book club, so I did a solo read-along this year. The book is broken into 12 chapters, each of which focuses on a different woman in the New Testament, and what modern women can learn from her story. In discussing the women, and their individual impact on us, Mitchell weaves through her own story of loss and learning to move on. At two chapters a week, the pace for reading this book was well set-up, and the reflection questions at the end of each chapter were helpful in analyzing God's work in my own life. That said, there were times when it was a little hard for me to relate to some of the women described (I skipped the reflection questions on the woman possessed by a demon - Ch. 9). Others, like Mary, the wife of Clopas (Ch. 11) were much more relatable to. Overall, it's a good book, but I think it would be better for group discussion than individual study.

I highly recommend this book to the right audience, but I'm not sure I should attempt to define who that is. At times since I purchased it in August, I haven't even been the right audience! I found it slow going when I wasn't . . . when I was anxious and worried about many things, and doggedly so. I don't want to say it's only for already devout Christian women (as if I just suddenly got it together in order to become a fitting audience--as if the entire point of the book isn't that seeking to get it together on your own before approaching God is completely wrongheaded). But you should be interested, obviously, in "who He [Jesus] says you are," and perhaps also in a certain reflective frame of mind at the time. It's not like a breezy beach read full of inspirational affirmations for someone who's not too concerned that her relationship with God or spiritual life may need improvement.

This book was great! Going through the New Testament and discovering women who I really never gave a thought to was eye-opening. Of course, there was Mary, the mother of God, but there was also the woman at the well, the woman who wiped the feet of Jesus with her tears, the Syriphoenician lady who was a gentile but dared to ask Jesus to cure her daughter, and many more women. Throughout the book the author also brings herself into the narrative as a mother who has lost her son and is deeply grieving for him. So she uses her reflections on these Biblical ladies to convince herself of God's great love and mercy. This book would be useful to any Christian lady. It reminded me that Jesus was always close to the women of the Bible despite their being second-class citizens. A worthwhile read.

Catholic missionary and speaker Colleen Mitchell covers twelve women´s encounter with Jesus in the gospel and connects their experiences with the very lives of females today. Because ancient or modern, we all question our identity.
How well-meditated upon and very loving book this is! It is stunningly personal, relatable and touching my heart at the very spot that is painstakingly waiting to connect with Jesus, but the the poor thing does not know how!
I was not touched this deeply by a Christian devotional since a long time ago.
This tiny book has helped me in my time of need.
Deeply recommended - and I am not saying it lightly. I think every Christian female (or a female of a good will, even, open to the religious writing) can gain tremendously from this devotional.

The author provides the Bible passages (so you don't have to grab your Bible and look them up) telling 12 stories of women. She then discusses the lessons we can learn from these women and how we can apply them in our lives today. At the end of each of the 12 chapters she poses a few questions for reflection to help the reader further personalize the lessons. You can tell as you read how passionate the author is about the messages she shares in the pages of her book.

4.5 rounded up because it did lull in the middle and seemed a bit repetitive in a couple of chapters. BUT the end really delivers. This book was a balm to my weary soul and I am changed after my encounter with Jesus within its pages. Would highly, highly recommend to any Christian or discerning woman. It is a Catholic author but I really believe there's something for everyone here. Just a beautiful book. If you're looking for deeper intimacy and friendship with Christ, read this.

I read this book with a women's group this past fall. It was an excellent reflection of womanhood and femininity looks like as a daughter of God. Being someone who has always struggled with the contemporary views of womanhood, this book personally helped me to accept myself as a woman created by God for His glory.
September 21, 2018
I picked up this book because someone said it was the best Catholic women's bible study that she had ever read. I concur. This book is truly amazing and beautifully written. Tears welled up in my eyes several times as I read it as the ideas presented really touched deep in my soul. This book opened my eyes to many special women of the Bible and drew me closer to Jesus.

Such a quality read. I took my time with it, reading a chapter whenever I felt called to, and every time there were so many truth bombs. I especially loved the chapters featuring Elizabeth (you have a voice), the hemorrhaging woman (you are known), and Mary the wife of Clopas (your presence matters). Would highly recommend to all the ladies.

So good!
Having so much relatable to those in the Bible really make learning about these women so much more interesting. Also love the prayers and reflective questions at the end of each chapter.

The first few pages didn’t speak to me so I almost gave up once book, but I am glad I didn’t. This is a book that I can see myself returning to again and again to find new things with different seasons in life.

Reading this book has encouraged me to study more of God's word. The book is a great tool to use for New Christians and those of us who been walking in the faith. Looking at these women's lives, I saw myself over and over again.

I could read this book over and over again. I loved the way it began with scripture and ended with prayer. It was certainly a good for the soul type of book. It made me think about women of the Bible in a new way too and how I can model some of the same characteristics.
March 18, 2022
This was one of my reads for Lent 2022 and it brought me to tears so many times! I loved this author's writing style and the conclusions she drew as well as the invitations to pray with her at the end of each chapter. I definitely see myself reading this again!
October 30, 2022
I read this as part of a book study with other Catholic women. It is wonderfully done. Every page is full of meaning and brings new light to the stories of 12 women in the Bible who were touched by Jesus in some way in the Gospels. Their stories are made richer by the author’s insightful words.
July 29, 2017
Beautiful meditations on women in the Gospels. I will go through this one again someday.
August 8, 2017
Wonderful read! This book had me see these women of the Bible in a different light, as Christ sees and loves them. In doing so I discovered a lot about myself as well.
