This Lent, take a journey through Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection with the women of WINE: Women In the New Evangelization. What if you could have been present to see what happened in Jesus' final hours of life—walking alongside him as he approached Jerusalem, watching him be crucified, and welcoming him at Easter?

By enabling you to relate to Jesus in a deeply intimate way, Walk in Her Sandals, edited by well-known Catholic author and speaker Kelly M. Wahlquist, helps you develop a closer relationship with him. The book leads you on a reflective and artistic journey through the days of Holy Week, Easter, and Pentecost by examining six universal gifts of women through the perspective of women in the gospels.

You will learn how each of the six distinct feminine gifts mentioned in St. John Paul II's teachings was expressed by one of the women as you picture what it was like for them to encounter Jesus. You will comprehend how she communicated the gift of receptivity via the eyes of an imagined woman who witnessed Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. You will learn how sensitivity exists and may develop in your own life through the hands of Veronica, who stretched out to wipe Jesus' face. These attributes, as well as kindness, prayer, motherhood, and the Holy Spirit, are vividly depicted in the accounts of the women who walked with Jesus. The true testimonies of modern women who share their own stories of receiving and developing these gifts serve as a complement to their imagined tales.

Edited by Wahlquist, Walk in Her Sandals is a collaborative work that includes contributions from ten prominent Catholic women writers, all of whom are affiliated with the group she created, WINE: Women In the New Evangelization. By using questions and challenges, the contributors will assist you in understanding the text, reflecting on it, and applying it to your own life. They will then help you share these insights in a small-group environment.

There are eight movements in each chapter:

A Moment to Ponder: Wahlquist sets the stage for the theme of that chapter.
Entering the Scripture: Sarah Christmyer, codeveloper of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible Study, reveals the riches of the scripture that corresponds with the day, both in the biblical narrative and in the liturgical year.
Walk in Her Sandals: Stephanie Landsem, author of the biblical fiction series The Living Water, draws you into the story and allows you to experience what it may have been like for women who lived and walked with Jesus.
Unwrapping the Gift: Catholic author, speaker, and faith-formation leader Pat Gohn shows how each woman demonstrates a particular feminine gift and invites you to nurture that gift in yourself and understand anew the beauty of your dignity and vocation.
Reflect on the Meaning: Writers including CatholicMom.com founder Lisa M. Hendey and popular media personality Teresa Tomeo offer insight, encouragement, and inspiration for your own journey through their personal stories.
Lectio and Meditatio: A prayerful reading of the scripture and a guided meditation to draw you more deeply into an intimate relationship with Jesus.
Questions for Group Discussion: Carol Younger, senior fellow at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, offers a helpful tool to share your experience with other women.
Walking in the New Evangelization: Wahlquist offers two ways to contribute to the New Evangelization—first by growing in your contemplative spiritual life and then by giving you practical suggestions to enhance your active spiritual life.

Praying over Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection will help you more fully enter into life in Christ, according to Walk in Her Sandals. It will assist you in going through a heart conversion and realizing your own gifts.
