religious studies

The author of this book, Joan Borysenko, is a leading authority on women's spirituality, which confounds me, because I did not know there was such a thing. An authority on spirituality I mean, since spirituality - well, read the book, because it is very well written and it is the story of a woman who is searching for the perfect fit between herself, her physical "me" self, and her spiritual self. The woman and her husband have no problem traipsing the continents in quest of the answer to their why am I heres and who am I's, and it makes for very interesting reading. I can't imagine how it is expressed from a soul to a written page as it attempts in this book, but what I enjoyed was the various descriptions of all kinds of practices, cults, religions, sects, and the quest itself is daring and adventuresome. These are good people, this is a good book, but I wondered why they were looking. Isn't the answer in the mirror?

I had this book for a long time and just never was drawn to it. After reading THE SAI PROPHECY, I felt a real need to read it. It answered questions I had not even formed, and led my mind to solutions and possibilities I had never imagined. A real catalyst and a must for every woman on a spiritual search. Thank you, sister Boryshenko!

Honest self-examination without self-absorption. I highly recommend this book to any woman -- particularly any mid-life woman -- who is exploring what it means to be a spiritual creature, and any man who looks at the women in his life and wonders what might be going on for them.
