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 spiritual beliefs and rediscovered their 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.
