"I began this book with very little time to devote to reading.
However, I found myself so caught up by the depth and breadth of
the reflections, quotations, and examples that were shared by the
author that I continued reading. I was inspired by the experiences
and reflections. I was constantly pulled into the text as another
personal narrative unfolded. Each context and situation provides
women with another opportunity to unlock their own feminine power.
We are taken on the author’s
journey but we are also provided with several maps to help us reach
our own destination in our own personal way. Each example seems to
provide the reader with tools that can be used to cherish our own
wholeness and to find our own Sophia.
"As a proud, founding, life-time
member of the International Listening Association, I was delighted
to watch how Ms Lynch was able to weave the importance of listening
and effective listening skills throughout this book. She gave listening
value in all applications as well as shared ways in which listening
can help each of us as we move toward authenticity and power."

Nan Johnson-Curiskis

"Cherishing Sophia by Julie K. Lynch is a 'Spiritual
Faucet' to be turned on for invigorating vistas and modus vivendi-
a way of living in our quantum world. The book is a breed apart,
a stunning sweep on philosophical wisdom for reflective living
at work and in life. Each chapter offers profound deep time, tonic
for the soul, catalyst for the weary and transforming lessons for
daily authentic living. To recapture the lost self, to rekindle your
spirit and to constantly renew faith in this mysterious journey called
life, read Cherishing Sophia. Read it to replenish energy, to embrace
prudence and reassurance, and to reaffirm your life as a sanctuary
for meaning and purpose."
Bassey A. Eyo, Ph.D
“In Cherishing Sophia, Julie Lynch is our teacher,
spiritual advisor, confidante, and playful best friend. She is
passionate about women and committed to helping them find the courage
to embrace their beauty and greatness. Her personal and professional ‘epiphanies’ are
filled with wisdom and insight, knowledge gained from a life lived
fully engaged and constantly searching. This book would be beneficial
for women who are in transition, stuck, searching, or simply trying
to find the courage to take the next big leap in their lives.”
Pamela McIntyre, PhD, Faculty Fellow, Filene Center for Work
and Learning, Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts.
“I must say that I do not consider myself a spiritual person,
so I was a bit reluctant. I found myself pulled into the book. This
book is written with passion by an authentic person. The chapter
on Listening is particularly strong and should be used in a course
on listening. Teachers, male and female, can gain insights into enhancing
their classrooms and creating opportunities for their students rather
than closing doors to their futures.”
Joan Steck, PhD, Professor of Communication, St. John’s
University, Collegeville, MN
“In Cherishing Sophia, author Julie Lynch presents an opportunity
for the reader to develop a unique awareness to both the world around
us and the spiritual world before us. With personal insight, we are
challenged to take the risk—that is to discover the possibilities—of
what can be if we will look outside the box of our own spiritual
understanding. This is a gentle, yet provocative message. Read with
an open mind, and your mind will be opened.”
Richard D. Breu, International Business Consultant President
of BREUbros Garage, specializing in People, Operations, Strategy
“The author has done an exceptional job blending stories,
quotations and concepts from the world’s great thinkers in
this timely text. Readers will quickly resonate with her personal
experiences and delight in the wisdom found within. The world is
ready and eagerly awaiting Cherishing Sophia.”

I laugh or Shall I Cry?
