The mystics would like a word : six women who met God and found a spirituality for today
by Shannon K. Evans
"Is there a Christian spirituality that embraces the entire reality of womanhood? The answer, Shannon K. Evans suggests, is an emphatic yes. There is a spirituality that meets us in every part of our lives, developed by the women who came before us. Six mystics-Teresa of âAvila, Margery Kempe, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Catherine of Siena, and Thâeráese of Lisieux-revealed a faith big enough to hold the female experiences of sex and desire, the yearning for bodily autonomy, the challenges ofmotherhood and identity, as well as life with male authority and-sometimes-violence. These women, self-determining, stubborn, and unapologetically themselves, asked questions in their time that are startlingly prescient today, and fought for women's experiences to be heard, understood, respected, and recognized as holy. In The Mystics Would Like a Word, readers will discover the story of Christian faith and spirituality as told by these extraordinary and wise women, one that speaks directly to today's unique experiences, and leads to wholeness, healing, and spiritual vitality"
