Friends of God and Prophets: A Feminist Theological Reading of the Communion of Saints

Rating:
Summary: Will Deepen your understanding of Saints & the Holy Spirit
Review: If you are a person into change, into contemplating your own place in the world, into deepening your personal spiritual connection to all that is, and especially to G-d, you will love this book. Yes, it deals with feminist theology, yes, 'Sr. Beth' is an excellent, careful, and clear writer -- these are obvious with a cursory glance. We all fit together, somehow, in this world of G-d's, and hardly a paragraph goes by where the reader is not encouraged to feel & believe in both the connection & the process. This work is a synthesis of very much, a disparager of very little, an emblem of hope & belief... a way... for how we are all part of the communion of saints, keepers of Wisdom, able ourselves to -be- 'friends of God, and prophets' -- and ultimately able to believe in and offer support to each other. It is simply one of the best books I have ever read.

This is not to say it's an easy read -- it is not. It is FULL of stuff, no wasted words. But, if you are a seeker of the Holy Spirit, you will be encouraged & nurtured -- and maybe, challenged.
