My first book, Blessed, Beautiful, and Bodacious, Celebrating the Gift of Catholic Womanhood, has been published by Ave Maria Press. The print edition of the book or the e-book is now available from Amazon or from Barnes and Noble. Or ask for it at your local Catholic bookseller. 

From the publisher:

Pat Gohn draws on decades of women’s ministry experience, her popular Catholic women’s podcast Among Women, and her own story as a wife and mother, proclaiming the Church’s compelling vision of every woman: you have dignity (blessed), you are gifted (beautiful), and you have a mission (bodacious).

The lively and unforgettable Pat Gohn guides readers through moments of her life that have shaped her identity and understanding of womanhood – abiding love and talent for music, breast cancer in her thirties, and coming to understand true feminism in light of Church teaching and Mary’s example. More than a mere memoir, Blessed, Beautiful, and Bodacious offers readers insight into the writings of Blessed John Paul II which articulate four gifts unique to every woman: generosity, receptivity, sensitivity and maternity. With humor, faith, and the open-hearted tone of a trusted mentor, Gohn shares how she became empowered to embrace her blessings, beauty, and bodaciousness, and how readers can do the same.
