This is a wonderful book, gathering the stories and testimonies of 27 women in the German speaking countries of Europe who feel called to the priesthood.

Here is a list of their names, in the order in which they appear in the book:

Each of them tells her own story. Most have been theologically trained. In spite of many individual differences the same theme recurs: “I care much about the Church. I feel God would like me to devote myself totally to the community as an ordained priest.” The reader cannot be but deeply impressed by the high level of spiritual commitment, common sense, balanced judgment and genuine dedication. How can the Church ignore the ‘signs of the times’, the strrings of the Holy Spirit so manifest in these stories?
