Average Rating: Rating: - A must read book!!!! Thank you Sue Monk Kidd for writing this book. It was an affirmation that the journey I'm on is where I am suppose to be. I could identify with most everything you shared. It is not easy to face this journey, so if we increase by number we will begin to make change. I belong to a Circle of Women and we celebrate 2 years of sharing in ritual. It is empowering to grow with women following the same path. Because I have conveyed that you can find your higher self and your sacred feminine, others want to know how. This book should be on the BEST SELLERS LIST. It is a must read to change the conditioning of every male and female on this earth. I am doing my part to pass it on. Thank you Sue for writing this book. EKD Rating: - A profound read for spiritual seekers Sue Monk Kidd has created a masterpiece... a highly personal and yet relevant journey of one woman who suddenly realized the historically patriarchal nature of the Christian church. As a woman and a mainline protestant minister myself, there is no doubt that she has named the pain of generations of women who suddenly woke up and realized they were not fully included. Her journey is beautiful, deep, and heartfelt. Another Christian reviewer wrote, "not my Journey". Well, Kidd's experience is not mine either... I have chosen to work within the church rather than leave the value I find there. Yet her journey is both understandable, and fully her own. When I was in seminary in the early to mid 90s, this book was definately required reading for all the female pastors-to-be. I have recommended it to women in my church who are struggling with their desire for a more feminine spirituality, who question the status quo and their own assumptions about the nature of the divine. I love this book not so much as a guidebook to a post- Christian place, or even a feminist manifesto, but as a how-to for spiritual searching. Highly recommended for both male and female seekers! Rating: - A woman shares her spiritual journey with others. "Sometimes another woman's story becomes a mirror that shows me a self I haven't seen before." Sue Monk Kidd writes these words and holds up such a mirror in this thought-provoking account of her gradual disenchantment with the traditional, patriarchal Christian Church that was at the center of her personal and professional lives. As she becomes open to questions about feminine images of the Divine, she develops a feminist religious perspective without becoming anti-male or anti-church. She researches the subject extensively, and one of the great delights this book offers is the many voices of women--poets, theologians, and feminists--echoing through its pages. Kidd's story is a traveling companion both for those already in the midst of such a journey and for those who have yet to begin. It is well worth reading and reading again
