“Ellsberg’s crisp, inspiring, and insightful writing enhances this excellent illustration of the use of the literary genre of biography in the Christian tradition . . . Blessed Among All Women is excellent spiritual reading for a daily/weekly routine or for a retreat experience. Moreover, it would be of intellectual interest as a more inclusive source of our Christian history and spirituality.”

“Quite simply the best contemporary one-volume compendium available. The writing alone ranks it well above others. A rich resource for reference and for daily reading. Individuals, families, preachers, teachers, and any number of parish groups looking for reflection material for prayer services or to start meetings will find this book a treasure for years to come.”
“A remarkably rich collection of meditations on men and women from all ages, mostly Christian, one for every day of the year. Most of them are capable of inspiring us to wish to do more with our lives: to dedicate ourselves to serving truth and justice in the way these heroes did. The whole book amounts to a kind of encyclopedia of moral and spiritual greatness.”
