A Woman's Journey to God

Front Cover
Riverhead Books, 2001 - Body, Mind & Spirit - 313 pages
A personal, scientific, historical, and practical look at the unique ways in which women approach ritual, spirituality, and God. Women now make up the largest group of religious "dropouts" in Western society, and Joan Borysenko is asking why. Just as medical developments made by and for men were expected to apply to women, so religions created by and for men are somehow expected to work equally well for women. But the religious and ritual forms that have been shaped so much by men can be alienating to women who spend much of their lives searching for their faith.
