Cri de Coeur Ministries

Cri de Coeur Publishing (French for "cry from the heart") is a woman-owned enterprise that creates and publishes inspirational books for and about women.

We are dedicated to the emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical security of all women everywhere.

We believe protecting, educating, and inspiring women is foundational to the preservation of Mother Earth and all life of every kind that lives on our gorgeous, but struggling, planet.

Our first book of reflections and essays (not yet titled) is based on the sacred writings of Ecclesiastes, as well as other sacred and secular writings that mirror the wisdom contained in Ecclesiastes.

Each essay or reflection in this book will be accompanied by one or more exquisite photos taken by a female photographer, pro and amateur alike. Essays and reflections will be written by interfaith minister and author, Maureen Gill Ausbrook. This book will not argue for any one faith or even faith itself; instead it suggests that all major religions, as well as all humanist secular philosophies, share the same core wisdom found in Ecclesiastes -- a wisdom this book offers up as a helpful guide to women struggling in a chaotic, challenging world.

The Goddess permitting, more special books will follow our first.

We welcome submissions of inspirational writing & photography because our goal is to publish many more very special books for, about and created by women.

Please check this page often for updates about our first book and also to enjoy some of the exquisite photography we're collecting, some of which will appear in our Ecclesiastes book.
