Inspired and affirming
Two sentences into the introduction I began to cry. Since then I've laughed, smiled, cried some more... and now I'm making a list of the friends who desperately need to read this book. Truly a blessing for any woman!

More Helpful to Me Than Therapy
Before reading Soul Satisfaction, I had no idea that hearing only male language for God in church had affected my self-image. As Geitz states in her introduction, images of God and self are very closely connected and a change in one can bring about a change in the other.This is really true!!! After meditating on the many feminine images of God in the Bible (which by the way I'd never even heard before) I have experienced a more positive sense of self than I ever thought possible. This book has been more helpful to me than therapy.
Meditating on the strong, courageous women in the Bible in Soul Satisfaction has also been very empowering for me.
My advice is this, "Put this book in your cart now!"

Great book for all women
Soul Satisfaction comforts, challanges, and compels me to tell others about it. I never knew the Bible could be so affirming of who I am as a woman. Where has this book been all my life?? The brief meditations are heartwarming and gut-wrenching, but also instructive for women today. You will want one for yourself, and one for each of your friends
