Synopsis

Menopause is a dramatic but largely overlooked developmental window to the second half of life. Although today's women are more aware of and actively involved in mapping their menopausal journey than generations before, many still do not see menopause as a time of important psychological and spiritual transformation.

This book goes far beyond hot flashes and gets to the very heart of the midlife journey, helping women find their unique voice and speak their truth in an era of #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Coming alongside listeners as a wise spiritual guide, pastor and theologian Cheryl Bridges Johns identifies seven key developmental "tasks" of menopause and gives practical ways women can embrace each one. She encourages women to view these tasks as gifts as they experience the remarkable physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that occurs in this stage of life.

Written in a warm and conversational tone, this book helps women chart a course for the future, leading them to a renewed sense of identity, a more focused vision for life, and a deeper spirituality.

My first thought when I started reading was I wish I would’ve had this 20, even 10 years ago. It helped me understand what was going on during a very difficult season in my life.

Goodreads review by Leslie on March 27, 2020

If you say "Hot Flashes!" around anyone, their mind automatically heads to menopause. While not quite there yet, that time of life is certainly sneaking up on me, so the book Seven Transforming Gifts of Menopause seemed like an appropriate title to read. Unfortunately, menopause or "the change" carr......more

Goodreads review by ♏Vanessa♏ on May 18, 2024

Whilst I like this was written in a positive and empowering way, I didn’t like the openly Christian aspect of the spirituality message. Admittedly, that is obviously her religion and she mentions other ones in passing, but I would have liked it way more if the message was not so linked to 1 kind of......more
