Sherri Shunfenthal again reaches deep into the characters of Biblical women to create an impressionistic lovely book that captivates readers with discussions, reflections, and meditations on our feminine heroines. Like each of us, these women, despite their relative immortality, faced the hardships and hazards of just plain being. By following along, readers can relate their own lives to each of them, and, in a small way, connect with man's ancient ancestors. A gem of a work, especially for those that wish to study the topic, such as women's Bible studies or reading groups.

Journey Into Healing,
By Skylar Hamilton Burris "Skylar" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey into Healing (Paperback)
This book uses poetry as an introduction to its prose reflections, reflections which consist of spiritual meditations, commentary, thought provoking questions, and personal biblical interpretation. The author, as she did in her book "Sacred Voices," focuses on the perspectives of women, this time moving beyond Genesis to include Esther, Hannah, Ruth, and Naomi. The book is intended to help people as they, like their biblical ancestors, struggle with the age old problem of pain. The poetry is not particularly sonorous, but it does grapple with heavy themes, and it serves as a solid jumping board for the author's reflections.
