The book was ok and too much revisions and marks on the pages left me unfocused on the book. I couldn’t read half of the book because of all of the markings.

The world of work can be sanctifying for our immortal souls. It can provide us with opportunities for spiritual growth and evangelization, adding an important element to our lives.

Holy Ambition: Thriving as a Catholic Woman at Work and at Home underscores how our professional lives can be spiritually enriching. Drawing on the examples of a number of female saints, this book is a helpful guide to succeeding in both the secular world and on the home front.

Authors Taryn DeLong and Elise Crawford Gallagher (while we share the same surname, we are not related) do a splendid job of mixing commerce and compassion, bottom lines and the beatitudes.

I particularly enjoyed the authors' exploration of the concept of servant leader, which can be so helpful to women in executive positions.

Whether you work in a board room or are busy giving your children nightly baths, you are likely to be inspired and motivated as a result of reading this impressive work.
