If Nuns Ruled the World: Ten Sisters on a Mission by Jo Piazza

5.0

This was an excellent collection of biographies on 10 nuns. I was amazed how all of them heard a clear call from God to follow Him and how they all spent their entire lives doing just that, walking humbly into service for Jesus often up against the very institution they pledged their lives to, the Catholic Church. The patriarchy, rules, power issues and scandal of the Catholic Church are evident in every way in this book. One thing that made this so interesting is none of the nuns deny these things to be present many of them fight against it yet all of them remain devoted to their Catholic faith. These nuns are intelligent, faithful, humble and just enough bad ass to make this book a great read.
