Testimonials
-
Millennial Nuns is a gem—at turns funny and poignant, eye-opening and radically honest. The wildly diverse stories and backgrounds of these young Daughters of Saint Paul testify to the most fundamental truth of the Gospel: that the God who is love didn’t wait for us to find Him; He entered into our human brokenness to seek and find us. And He is still doing so today, wherever He finds souls brave enough to open themselves to His extravagant, all-consuming love.
-
The sisters’ reflections in Millennial Nuns are real, relatable, and fun. Each chapter reveals a beautiful aspect of the ‘many-sided wisdom of God’ (Eph. 3:10) in the lived experience of each sister. Anyone looking for inspiration, authenticity, and encouragement—Christian or not—will find abundant fruit in these pages.
