| Publisher Description: "I have finished reading your book, which I enjoyed and benefited from and which I believe to be a contribution to contemplative literature akin to the autobiographical writings of St Teresa. Your writing is to me reminiscent of hers and your life a 20th/21st-century version of hers, certainly not the same as hers, in some ways not like hers at all, but overall like hers, the struggle of an extraordinary person who views herself to be ordinary or even less than ordinary and who has lived a life of seeking God at great worldly cost and eternal benefit. Your book can serve as a guide and inspiration to anyone, especially girls and women but not limited to them, thinking about making a courageous move. It is also a reassurance to those of us who left Christianity and feel called back to it. It represents to me as well a (perhaps unintended) tribute to discipline, an important theme sadly missing in the mass-market literature of our day." Peter White, author of Ecology of Being "I have just finished reading your book. I couldn't put it down. Thank you so much for writing it, your honesty, and for alerting me to its existence. Obviously our perspective and approach differs at times, but Holy Mother Church is broad enough to embrace so many facets Reading it has really been quite memorable. Your personal experiences are what make the book so fascinating " Paul Williams, author of The Unexpected Way |
