# Grace of Yes Book Club: Week Four
Feb 14, 2026 4:02:50 PM | by [Allison Gingras](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/allison-gingras)
Maria Johnson shares a thoughtful reflection on Chapters Seven and Eight of Catholic Mom founder Lisa M. Hendey's *Grace of Yes* during our first week of the Winter Zoom Book Club.
## The Fourth Week of the Grace of Yes
In this fourth and final week of the Catholic Mom Winter Book Club, Maria Johnson shares a reflection on "The Grace of No" and "The Grace of Rebirth." When is a no the best yes to the opportunity in front of you? How can living generously give way to rebirth in our hearts, homes, and minds?
Lisa shares many words of wisdom in this week's chapters. Here are two that were particularly profound:
> "For some of us, saying no is far more challenging than diving in a new opportunity and figuring out the details later."
>
> -----
>
> "It's a daunting task, this yes to God. How easy it can be to give God the bare minimum of what he asks of me when I know full well the radical revolution to which I'm truly being called."
