"I've never read anything like Waking the Women. It took me on a stunning and imaginative journey through the pain, beauty, joy and hope of what it is to be a woman, told through the lens of God's big story for all of us. Jayne Manfredi has the rare talent of being able to write beautifully profound and heart-aching words one minute, then make us laugh the next. A must-read for all of the sisterhood." -- Chine McDonald

"This is a frank, funny, and profoundly spiritual book about the universal experience of living in a changing body. I hope men will read it, and younger women too. There’s stacks of wisdom here for us all." -- Andrew Graystone

"Those familiar with Jayne’s work as a broadcaster and writer will be delighted with her customary insight, wit and humanity all of which permeate this book. Those new to Jayne’s work are in for rich reward. Jayne guides her readers with care and courage, with her reflections overflowing with humanity undergirded by challenge. There is much here to both learn and ponder. A fascinating read." -- Rt Revd Arun Arora
