"One of our most insightful feminist thinkers, Mary Jo Weaver here charts the difficult spiritual terrain facing women alienated from their religious background but searching for alternatives within it. Liberation theology, Process throught, Goddess worship, male and female visionaries from the past, Catholic women's communities at the present time, issues of gender and ordination: all are explored with lucidity, tact, and intelligence." —Susan Gubar, co-author, The Madwoman in the Attic "Beautifully written, and highly readable." —National Catholic Reporte

This book is the witness to the faith that has been passed to me from the women who came before me...my mother, aunts, and grandmothers. Here you will read of the 'signs and wonders' and miracles that have blessed me on my journey as a Christian, and a spiritual seeker. The path has not been easy. The suffering, and the blessings, have been extraordinary. "Spiritual wholeness transcends all that keeps us cut off from God. Enlightenment is about standing in witness to our total being, as if an inner light suddenly illuminates every corner and dark cavern within us, so that we can claim it and make peace with it. Once you begin doing that, the darkness in others and in the world, cannot penetrate to the inner sanctum of who you are. No one can split me off any longer from my own true self. And it is this self that is, in its very essence, made of what God is...and that is Love."
