Archbishop for the Military Services, USA

“Elizabeth Tomlin, Army wife, mother, and attorney, provides an excellent, prayerful reflection on integrating the Gospel into everyday life. Her prose will inspire readers both within and outside the military.”

The Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio

This book is an excellent inspiration for cultivating women’s ministries that make an impact. I love how Elizabeth’s self-deprecating sense of humor shines through, making Joyful Momentum eminently readable and relatable. Elizabeth admits that she doesn’t have all the answers, but she HAS been bolstered along her faith journey by kind and faithful women. She takes all of these lessons and presents a step-by step guide to creating a dynamic ministry rooted in trusting the bold activity of the Spirit. I recommend this book because of its practical suggestions, relatable stories, and because it is well-rooted in the Scriptures and the Catholic faith.
