Within every woman there is an essential Truth waiting to be claimed, a Truth that will empower her to claim a spiritual life that is real and authentic, one that will nourish and sustain her every day. Drawing from her personal encounters with twelve spiritual mentors--activists, artists, writers, and teachers--author Janice Lynne Lundy has created twelve Transformational Truths to guide and enable women to live more peaceful, confident, and open-hearted lives.

Rave Reviews!
"Women need to be reassured of their worth and of the immense possibilities of their own spiritual growth. We cannot emphasize often enough the "ordinariness" of holiness and also its profoundness and enormous possibilities. This is done very well in Your Truest Self. Author, Janice Lynne Lundy, offers an excellent resource for women. Her style and approach are just what women today are longing for. The message and Jan's intimate connection to the reader come together in an excellent, inspiring and informative way. I sense this book will give women great courage."

"Jan Lundy has drawn together the thoughts and wisdom of such admirable, transparent women. The words, the wisdom, the practical suggestions and Jan's own honest narrative are a glowing blueprint for wholeness. You will not read this quickly; you will stop again and again to integrate the knowledge and to respond from the place of your own deepest knowing."

and founder of A Woman's Way Retreats, Sedona, AZ
"Janice Lynne Lundy's precious book came at a critical time when I was searching for a deeper meaning to my life ... searching for "me." As many women can relate, I'd given up much of my own dreams and talents to take care of everyone else but myself. While there are many golden nuggets to be found, the passage that resonated with me the most is found right in the introduction: "Study and training do not bring any of us home to our truest selves. Living does." Your Truest Self is the perfect antidote for a bruised heart, a yearning soul, and a genuine healing of the mind."
