Book Description

October 1, 2001
It is the future, and the end of the world as we know it does not come through nuclear war or an asteroid impact, but from within the earth itself. A global geologic holocaust has destroyed civilization, leaving only a tiny fraction of people to rebuild scattered colonies. Reduced to a primitive state, they live close to the earth and cultivate a Goddess worship, and chosen ones dream a prophecy that Greer, a female savior, will return them to greatness.

An epic and magical story of one woman’s exceptional destiny during exceptional times, Goddess Rising follows Greer’s journey from simple obscurity to prophesied reign. Acknowledged as the face of the Goddess on earth, Greer discovers the rewards of power—and its price—as she struggles through her own labyrinth of fear and desire, sexuality and sacrifice, love and death.

I have rarely been so captivated...I felt a special kinship with Greer... -- C. Diane Ealy, Ph.D. author of The Woman's Book of Creativity, co-author of Our Money, Ourselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ancient Belief Systems, December 30, 2003
This review is from: Goddess Rising (Paperback)
Melissa Bowersock's "Goddess Rising" speaks to the belly of your belief systems. After studying comparative religions for twenty years, this is one of the few books I've read that takes the inner qualities that created beliefs and puts it in a format that is not only entertaining but educational. It gives the reader a look at how it all may have started in a story format that you simply cannot put down!

5.0 out of 5 stars A story that expands your view of life, April 29, 2003
By 
Jasmine Humphreys (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Goddess Rising (Paperback)
Greer could be anyone of us and it is so easy to relate to her as she struggles with issues of fear, sexuality, love and compassion in order to raise to greatness. It is rare to encounter a book that can have a lasting impact as Goddess Rising. This story will definitely expand your view of life. Read it once and read it again after a few months. You will notice new insights each and every time you read Greer's story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mythical and Inviting!, March 5, 2006
By 
Caryn Aman (West Linn, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Goddess Rising (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The Hero's Journey was evident throughout the book from the initial refusal of the call to the facing of enemies, discovering our allies, the return with the treasure, and the final difficulty of living in two worlds. Joseph Campbell would be proud! The crafting of Greer's act of surrender, of being true to one's purpose in life, regardless of personal desires and outcome, exemplified the struggle we each go through in order to be true to ourselves and our Soul Path. Brava!
