Truth Seeker
$15.49Add to cartCut off from our connection with the divine, humankind is afflicted by a metaphysical anxiety, which is now a global condition. The Truth Seeker is one woman’s journey to try and combat this malaise. Through poetry and prose, Lucy White questions her beliefs and tries to make sense of the secular and the sacred in her search for a connection with that essence of divine love we call God. Meditating on her personal journey led the author to the awareness that we live in a world of polarities between which we ricochet unknowingly. At present the secular outweighs the sacred and the male force outweighs the female force. Balancing these forces could bring peace and harmony to the world. The author espouses a new philosophy, that of Spiritual Feminism, a philosophy that acknowledges and elevates women as wise nurturers connected to the divine, a philosophy that balances the female force equally with the male force. During the writing of the book, Lucy White began to experience a benign energy force that seemed to be tracking her progress. Was God keeping an eye on her work?

Hope In The Holler
$29.00Add to cartFor more than three hundred years, black women have embodied a theology of hope, which has enabled them to overcome a history of abuse and violence. While a theology of hope has been widely discussed in twentieth century theology, it was born in slavery long before Jurgen Moltmann introduced it to America in 1967. Even womanist notions of hope have not explored the theological character of hope in abused black women’s narratives. Crawford argues that hope is the theological construct that moves black women beyond endurance and survival to transformation of their personal and communal realities. This book identifies and analyzes the theological vision of hope voiced within the narratives of enslaved, emancipated, and contemporary black women and brings that vision into discussion with contemporary womanist theologies

When Life And Beliefs Collide
$19.99Add to cartIn Praise of When Life and Beliefs Collide Sooner or later, life9s difficulties bring every Christian woman to God9s doorstep with questions too personal to ignore. “Why does God let me go through such painful circumstances?” “Why does he seem indifferent to my prayers?” We9re tired of spiritual pie in the sky. We want authentic, God-as-he-really-is faith_the kind that holds us together when our world is falling apart and equips us to offer strength and hope to others. When Life and Beliefs Collide raises a long-overdue call for us to think seriously about what we believe about God. With passion, brilliance, and eloquence, Carolyn Custis James weaves stories of contemporary women with episodes from the life of Mary of Bethany to illustrate the practical benefits of knowing God deeply. Examining the misperceptions and abuses that discourage women from pursuing a deeper understanding of God, this insightful book demonstrates how practical and down to earth knowing God can be. “This outstanding book offers the best demonstration that everyone needs theology, the best expository account of Mary and Martha, and the best trajectory for women9s ministry in modern North America that I have yet read.” _James I. Packer “Thoughtful, scholarly, and motivating . . . should inspire and encourage women for years to come.” _Joni Eareckson Tada “You will not think the same way, nor hopefully be the same, after reading this thought-provoking book.” _Vonette Zachary Bright “. . . affirms women in their calling, chosen-ness, and gifting, and makes us know we are cherished and planned for.” _Jill Briscoe

In Justice : Women And Global Economics
$18.00Add to cartThe surprisingly vehement demonstrations at recent meetings of international monetary organizations have alerted people to the dangers of new global economic arrangements. Are there any fundamental standards within economic theory? How can economics and economic proposals best be measured? What does economic justice mean today? Spurred especially by the situation of women in the global household, Ann-Cathrin Jarl in this considerable contribution focuses on promising work in feminist economics and feminist ethics. Jarl articulates feminist critiques of neoclassical economic theory, objectivity in economics, and current understandings of rights, equality, and power. She derives an alternative social theory from feminist ethics, and she lands on provision for basic human needs as the benchmark of economic justice. In her final chapters Jarl offers a theory of economic justice aimed at strengthening the global household and bring the claims of justice to the world of markets.

Women And The Authority Of Scripture
$42.95Add to cartThe theological impact of accepting the absolute authority of biblical scripture is enormous_especially for women who attend and serve churches. But until now, few books have been willing to address this issue head on.
Sarah Lancaster looks at the way women in the church have dealt with the question of scriptural authority and how they can address it in the future. Some women, she says, accept the authority of the Bible without question and stay in church without change of attitude or action. Others deny that the Bible has any authority, completely leaving Christianity in the belief that the Bible and Christian tradition are irredeemably patriarchal. Still others recognize that while scripture is largely patriarchal, it is authoritative for their life of faith.
The Bible possesses a narrative coherence, its story resonating in our own lives. For women, the Bible can continue to “ring true” to their experience, letting them acknowledge scripture’s authority in spite of its problems. The Bible is not about patriarchy; it is about how God is present to us and interacts with us in order to bring us to fullness of life.
Lancaster says that women can criticize those things in scripture that help maintain a patriarchal world without invalidating scripture’s authority. Scripture, she argues, informs, forms, and transforms. With its combination of narrative and feminist theology, Women and the Authority of Scripture brings a powerful new perspective to the doctrine of biblical authority in the contemporary world.

God wants to move us beyond the restraint of the law (which arouses sin) and plant us into a garden of longing — where our sexuality and passion is carefully guarded and cultivated until the time for its awakening.

Acknowledgments P. 149Additional Info
SOUL WEAVINGS: A Gathering of Women’s PrayersAs Christians, we are part of a vast community of believers, most of whom we will never meet. Yet, through their writings, women of other times, places, and cultures can become our companions, encouraging us to take risks, helping us to go on when the way is difficult, teaching us how to pray. Through these companions of the soul God “comes to meet us in the hardest hours,” “challenges us to change the world,” and helps us “to behold God in everything.”
Why use written prayer? A well-written prayer is like a picture, capturing a view of one person’s spiritual landscape. As with pictures, we will be drawn more to some than others. Some prayers will help us to identify how God is already present in us and in the world. Others will become a real encounter with God, transforming us and calling us to respond with our lives. Still others may reveal our longing for the relationships we would like to have with God, and with those around us. Certain prayers become favorite resting places for times when our resources are low; it is easier to accept our own struggles when we find that we are not alone.
Prayer books become like good friends, who sometimes comfort and sometimes challenge us. They connect us with “thoughts higher than our thoughts, prayers better than our prayers, and powers beyond our powers, that we may spend and be spent in the ways of love and goodness.”

Adolescent girls are at particular risk in today’s society. They struggle to establish a mature identity after childhood and are barraged with conflicting messages about what it means to be female. In an often hostile and sometimes lethal culture, they also are subject to being exploited, harassed, manipulated, or even abused physically and sexually. But where do religion and spirituality fit? Davis sees spirituality as the realm where girls’ ultimate concerns intersect with their daily ones especially with relationships, lifestyle, and religious conviction. Here, based on more than 100 in-depth interviews with girls from a variety of religious, ethnic, and regional backgrounds, Davis shows how religion actually functions both to help and to hurt in girls’ search for authenticity. Davis’ interviews convey articulately and deeply how spirituality concerns girls’ surmounting hurdles to ground and affirm what they become. -
