Drawing from the Christian tradition and rooted in female experience, Anne Thurston describes how the female expression of sexuality, of giving birth, and of nurturing reveal the sacred. Her powerful chapter on "Breaking Bread" considers the implications of sharing bread as sharing life, insisting that justice and hunger must shape the celebration of the Eucharist. Instead of advocating women's ordination, she argues forcefully for a restructuring of church and ministry so that gender is no longer an issue. Throughout she offers new and challenging perspectives on central themes of theology. |

Martin Luther and Katharina Von Bora prove that all's fair in love and religion. In 1525 Martin Luther rocked European society by marrying Katharina Von Bora. Well, actually, it wasn't the marriage so much that set tongues wagging. It was the fact that Martin Luther was a monk and Katharina Von Bora was a nun, whom he rescued from a convent in a great burst of passion. In those times, offenses against the church didn't get much bigger than that. The modern day equivalent of monks and nuns engaging in sexual intercourse is Presidents and interns cavorting about the Oval office. Public reaction to the affair changed the Protestant church in ways that are still visible nearly five hundred years later. This well-researched novel offers a fictionalized account of that scandalous romance. Author Asta Scheib has done an excellent job of bringing Martin and Katharina to life. Half the story was re-creating the times in which the couple lived, and Scheib has handled that with great ease. |

Re-imagined from a woman's perspective, these familiar events delight the imagination and stir the soul in refreshing new ways. Miriam Therese Winter retells our ancient myths of Creation, the Garden, and the Flood, and chronicles the adventures of some of the remarkable women of Genesis and Exodus: Sarah and Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel, Miriam, and many more. According to the author, she is presenting us with an ancient manuscript that was written long ago by one of the many wives of Solomon. This woman writer, named Noah, feared the loss of women's perspective as written records began replacing oral traditions. She wrote these Chronicles to offer another side to the story of our shared myths and memories. The Chronicles of Noah and Her Sisters is wonderful spiritual reading, and a must for all women - and men - concerned about handing on the essentials of faith to their daughters and granddaughters. |

Ten vivid stories written from the heart of a gifted storyteller - stories "drenched with the Presence of God," true stories about unforgettable people who find a tenacity for life, often amidst an ocean of pain. Teresa McGee battles a chronic illness by stitching together the patch of her own life experiences into the quilt of human suffering and redemption. With the backing of God, the quilt becomes a source of healing warmth, a comforter. "A beautiful book. Teresa is a storyteller, a quilt-weaver, a woman who has found her voice - a woman of faith. This book will weave the patches of your life into a quilt of real, not pious, faith." - Paul Morrissey, O.S.A., author of Let Someone Hold You. |
