A Little Daily Wisdom by Carmen Acevedo Butcher, with a foreward by Phyllis Tickle

Christian Women Mystics

Discover the strength, wisdom, and joyful faith of Christianity's legendary women - the medieval mystics. Their honesty and deep love for God will encourage and empower you every day of the year.

This book of daily readings will help you create quiet space for focusing on God's love in the midst of a busy life. As you spend time with these great women, you will discover an astonishing view of a God who is tender, nurturing, forgiving, and as close as breath.

"In these pages, the images of the spiritual life are the erotic ones of the feminine experience. They are the stuff of very physically-present women who loved their Lord with a ferocity and passion that could be reported only in those experiences of the flesh."

Biblical Women by John F. Fink

Females in a Patriarchal Society

There's no way to get around the fact that, in the Bible, women played a subservient role in what can only be described as a patriarchal society.

Some thirty-nine of the most prominent women from the Old and New Testament are profiled in these short stories. Some are heroes, others are villains; some are saints, others are public sinners.
