Reseña del libro "Kissed by God-Holy Women Create! (en Inglés)"
"Shirley Cunningham offers us a lovely feast!"You're invited to join a pilgrimage with Holy Women whose creativity has blessed our world. These ancestors, foremothers, and sisters tell their archetypal stories: Miriam, the dancer; Hildegard, the artist and musician; Teresa of Avila, the writer; women of ancient times--Mary Magdalene and the Samaritan Woman--and more recent women, including Tekakwitha and Thérèse of Lisieux. Our journeys are the same, moving with no map, always on new ground, guided by inspiration, intuition, dreams, and the Spirit.This book is more than history, psychology, and scripture; it's spun of spirituality and creativity, a love story that invites you to recognize that your walk has rich meaning, if only you attend. God has kissed not only these Holy Women, but each of us.A colorful display of art by and about these women and a treasury of creative exercises are included, suitable for use by individuals or groups.Shirley Cunningham offers us a lovely feast with her selection of eleven Holy Women. Her passion for their voices and wisdom entices the reader on. Recommended to crack open the "door within" even further. --Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, REACH, author of Illuminating the Way: Embracing the Wisdom of Monks and MysticsShirley Cunningham has expertly woven history, background, and experience together as she introduces these Holy Women. Through these stories, each one reaches out of history to take the reader's hand so she, too, may feel that presence and be kissed by God. I am loving what I read! --Rev. Amanda Peterson, director of Pathways of Grace: A Spiritual Life Center, M. Div., United Church of Christ
