In this volume, the author explores the spiritual needs of women. She looks at Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam, exploring their traditions and looking at new approaches to practising the faith. She examines her own story and that of other women across every age and culture struggling to find God.The book examines why women make up the larg est group of religious drop-outs in Western society and reveals how women can reconnect spirituality to religion. The author revisits traditional stories of holy women including Eve and Mary Magdalene and shows how women can gain new wisdom from the past. New forms of ritual and prayer better suited to women's needs are also explored together with an examination of the nature of women's spiritual identity and how to achieve self-healing and wholeness. Finally, she examines how we can live a more spiritually aware life in the day-to-day world.
Women now make up the largest group of religious "dropouts" in Western society, and Joan Borysenko is asking why. Just as medical developments made by and for men were expected to apply to women, so religions created by and for men are somehow expected to work equally well for women. But the religious and ritual forms that have been shaped so much by men can be alienating to women who spend much of their lives searching for their faith.Through a fresh look at old traditions, case studies, new rituals, her own story, and the stories of others Borysenko has encountered in their struggle to find God, A Woman's Journey to God seeks to help women heal the anger they've felt toward their own spiritual traditions and find a way back that incorporates their needs.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind comes a powerful collection of spiritual activities that we can use every day in order to create miracles in our lives. Through daily meditations and exercises, Borysenko helps us to let go of fear and realize the light of peace.
