Books:

In her latest book, Bonnie St. John takes you with her on a spiritual journey to learn about the power of prayer in the real world. Through intimate interviews with some of America’s most notable women including Maya Angelou, Edie Falco, Barbara Bush, and Kathie Lee Gifford, as well as some lesser known yet equally extraordinary: a Hurricane Katrina rescuer, an NYPD 9/11 first responder, a soldier in Afghanistan, and many others, this you will find insight into the actual details—where, when, how long—of the way strong women use prayer to cope with challenges in their everyday lives.Woven throughout these stories is Bonnie’s own struggle to find strength in prayer. The rawness with which she expresses her experiences, and the courage she musters to face challenge after challenge is profoundly inspiring.

My mom and JESUS CHRIST!
