The Feminine Face of God : The Unfolding of the Sacred in Women
By Sherry Ruth Anderson"An honest, compelling, surprising, and vastly reassuring book about the spiritual life of women . . . This landmark book is spiritual precisely because it is authentic."--Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind With a foreword by Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. For many contemporary women, the old patriarchal models of religion are no longer relevant, forming a need to look beyond the male-oriented past to a wider, more fulfilling spiritual horizon. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Sherry Anderson and Patricia Hopkins show how many women have redefined traditional beliefs and rediscovered their own unique spiritual heritage--The Feminine Face of God. Anderson and Hopkins guide you through the sacred garden of: - Childhood--seedbed of life's sacred passage
- Leaving home--finding your own inner authority
- Relationships--new perspectives on intimacy
- Spiritual practice--the importance of guidance and discipline
- Sexuality--a wild card constantly cracking open the heart
- And much more As women enter their sacred garden and learn the art of inner listening, they acquire the tools for living, loving, and praying authentically. In The Feminine Face of God there are seeds for growth: for creating and sustaining intimacy and love in a new way; for a new understanding of sexuality; for a new vision of family, a family of choice in a community of love.
