A masterpiece of women's wisdom.--Christiane Northrup, M.D.
The journey to capture her feminine soul and live authentically . . . makes a fascinating, well-researched and well-written story.--Publishers Weekly
In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of its publication, a newly reissued edition of the bestselling author's classic memoir of feminine spiritual discovery, with a new introduction by the author.
I was amazed to find that I had no idea how to unfold my spiritual life in a feminine way. I was surprised, and, in fact, a little terrified, when I found myself in the middle of a feminist spiritual reawakening.--Sue Monk Kidd
For years, Sue Monk Kidd was a conventionally religious woman. Then, in the late 1980s, she experienced an unexpected awakening, and began a journey toward a feminine spirituality. With the exceptional storytelling skills that have helped make her name, Kidd tells her very personal story of the fear, anger, healing, and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness and the Divine Feminine that many women have lost in the church.
From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and to rituals in the caves of Crete, she reveals a new level of feminine spiritual consciousness for all women and a path for healing feminine wounds--one that retains a meaningful connection with the deep song of Christianity, embraces the sacredness of ordinary women's experience, and has the power to transform in the most positive ways every fundamental relationship in a woman's life--her marriage, her career, and her religion.
What happens when a woman can no longer find herself within the religion that shaped her?
- A Groundbreaking Spiritual Reawakening: Follow Sue Monk Kidd's very personal story as she moves from a conventional Christian faith to a profound and unexpected encounter with feminist spirituality.
- Confronting Patriarchy in the Church: An honest look at the fear, anger, and loss experienced on the path to finding the wholeness many women have lost within traditional religion.
- The Quest for Feminine Spirituality: Journey from a suburban drugstore to monastery retreats and ancient rituals in Crete in a search for a spiritual consciousness that embraces the sacredness of women's experience.
- Finding Your Authentic Self: Discover how to forge a meaningful connection to your faith while having the power to transform every fundamental relationship in your life.
