One of my favorite books in 2011 came from my dear friend and fellow Catholic blogger Kate Wicker. Weightless: Making Peace with Your Body was released last August and continues to receive rave reviews from those who have been inspired by Kate's wonderful take on the important connections between body image, healthy living and personal spirituality. In my endorsement of Kate's book, I said:

With striking honesty and a sincerity that shows the beauty of her soul, Kate Wicker's words in Weightless point readers to the true formula for health of body, mind, and spirit. By sharing her own story, Kate has created a resource that will support and uplift women of any age, vocation, or station in life.

I continue to believe that Kate's book is a fundamental resource for any woman looking to come to peace with her physical body, but more importantly with her soul.
