A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

She has published three books: The Feminine Soul: Surprising Ways the Bible Speaks to Women, originally published by Navpress in 2006. Her second book, Sacred Healing: MRIs, marigolds, and miracles (Twenty-third Publications, 2010), is a collection of vignettes chronicling her experience of her son’s diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from a brain tumor. Her third, My Own Worst Enemy (Bethany House, 2012) connects women with stories of ancient wisdom from Scripture that help women live free from our tendency toward self-sabotage. Janet offers spiritual direction in Austin, Texas and is a member of Spiritual Directors International and Austin Area Spiritual Director’s Association. Janet and Bob, her husband of more than thirty years, live in Austin, Texas. She enjoys their new granddaughter, their four adult children, gardening, and good food, and maintains a website at www.janetdavisonline.com.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

On some level, we all know it: men and women are different. Sadly, for the most part the church has primarily acknowledged those differences in the arenas of role and function, and generally done so in ways that women have experienced as limiting rather than life-giving. Consequently, many women have turned to popular feminine spirituality offerings outside the Christian faith for more appealing and effectual spiritual growth paradigms. But if we look closely at the stories of women in Scripture we can find a uniquely feminine spirituality woven into these ancient accounts. Through stories of modern women coupled with those of key Biblical women, author Janet Davis offers us a revolutionary and transformative new understanding of the feminine soul. With the warmth of story to open the heart and questions designed to disrupt old patterns, this work is good news indeed, helping the blind to see, the lame to walk, and feminine souls to grow strong, beautiful, and free.
