This thought-provoking text examines this psychological trend, exploring the specific ways in which women from diverse backgrounds have benefited from their faith traditions, the various spiritual pathways they have chosen, and the impact of those choices on their lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEssays in this informative compilation show how women from African American, Latina, American Indian, Asian American, and Caucasian backgrounds recover from difficulties and traumas with the help of their faith. Contributors consider why women are more likely to endorse religious engagement than men; why ethnically marginalized women tap into spirituality for comfort more than any other population; and why many believers embrace religion as a coping mechanism throughout their lives--from adolescence to older adulthood. The work suggests ways for counselors, leaders, and religious figures to utilize this knowledge to bolster the well-being of those they serve.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThema Bryant-Davis\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is associate professor of psychology at Pepperdine University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAsuncion Miteria Austria\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, coedited Praeger's \u003ci\u003eA Handbook for Women Mentors: Transcending Barriers of Stereotype, Race, and Ethnicity\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebra M.
