Odyssey with the Goddess: A Spiritual Quest in Crete
In this "narrative thealogy," Christ (Laughter of Aphrodite: Reflections on a Journey to the Goddess, LJ 7/87) shares the spiritual lessons she learns as she seeks to understand her relation to the ground of all Being. Her quest with the Goddess begins out of a jarring sense of loss and abandonment caused by the death of her mother and leads her to an exhilarating experience of healing and rebirth. Her journey confirms for her as well the relational and embodied character women's experience of the divine. Luminous prose rather than the New Age patter so typical of many Goddess books will make Christ's chronicle a welcome addition to collections in women's spirituality. Highly recommended.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
