5.0

This book made my mind explode when I read it in the early 1990s. This book connected me to a history of women in religious life and to a more fuller and complex understanding of God's nature that I had ever previously thought possible. Would it hit someone with the same impact today? It depends upon your religious background. Explore God's feminine side, learn about the ways God has spoken and still speaks to women, and perhaps you, too, will strengthen your faith and your sense of self. Highly recommended for all women faithful to a patriarchal form of worship who think there's something missing in their religious and devotional life.
