Talk about being led into temptation! A couple of publishers had big sales in the past couple of weeks and, well, what’s a girl to do? Yes, these eight books are all now on my nightstand.

I’ll be starting with The Great Magdalens: Famous Women Who Returned to God after Lives of Sin. The table of contents shows predictable women (St. Margaret of Cortona, whose family refused to take her and her child in after her longtime lover died), and some surprises (Madame de Pompadour, the chief mistress of France’s King Louis XV).

As a woman whose life had some serious sin before rediscovering the Lord, I’m looking forward to these true stories of reversion!
