“These are excellent devotional materials for private or group use during Lent. The texts presented here prompt and guide the reader in prayer and recollection through Lent. Scripture, prayer, and meditation blend to allow the reader to translate faith into the reality of one’s own life.”
“The longing and expectation of the 40 days of Lent are deeply expressed in this collection from Father Nouwen’s extensive writings. For each day, he offers a scripture guide for the path to Calvary and speaks as one who shares our difficulties in making the choice for Christ over the promises of worldly power and riches.”
“As perhaps the best book of feminist theology to date, She Who Is is at once thoroughly orthodox, grounded in classical Christian thought, liberatingly contemporary, and rooted in Women’s experience.”
“‘What is the right way to speak about God in the face of women’s newly cherished human dignity and equality? This is the crucial theological question.’ Johnson’s response is to range far and wide from the early church all the way to the present day to unearth God as She Who Is, the ‘creative, relational power of being who enlivens, suffers with, sustains, and enfolds the universe’ . . . Readers will find this incisive survey to be the finest yet written in the area of feminist theological discourse.”
