I was surprised, and, in fact, a little terrified, when I found myself in the middle of a feminist spiritual reawakening.' ––Sue Monk Kidd For years, Sue Monk Kidd was a conventionally religious woman. Then, in the late 1980s, Kidd experienced an unexpected awakening, and began a journey toward a feminine spirituality. With the exceptional storytelling skills that have helped make her name, author of When the Heart Waits tells her very personal story of the fear, anger, healing, and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness that many women have lost in the church. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and to rituals in the caves of Crete, she reveals a new level of feminine spiritual consciousness for all women– one that retains a meaningful connection with the 'deep song of Christianity,' embraces the sacredness of ordinary women's experience, and has the power to transform in the most positive ways every fundamental relationship in a woman's life– her marriage, her career, and her religion. This Plus edition paperback includes a recent interview with the author conducted by the book's editor Michael Maudlin. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Dance of the Dissident Daughter This book literally changed my life. I have read this book into pieces. I would like to say it saved me. I hit a place in my life at 30 years old where everything I knew fell into pieces. During this time a good friend kept telling me to read this, that it was my story. I read it and was weeping within the first chapter. I was the patriarchal, wife, christian, mother. The course of man god religion led me to complete and total desolation. I was completely empty with no seeming reason to be so empty. ... Read More Rating: - An Authentic Journey I picked up this title as one it was a woman's spiritual journey and two I like the author for her other two books - secret life of bees and mermaid chair. I am not a christian woman, and my religion does have a feminine version of God. But no woman is really spared the overwhelming experience of patriarchy in one form or the other. Sue's experience seems to come from an authentic place of pain and genuine need to explore, quite unlike Liz Gilbert or other self pitying women. She is obviously well read ... Read More Rating: - Read this book! I have read many of the reviews of this book, and I noticed the variety of opinions Dance of the Dissident Daughter has inspired. Each of us has an opinion of this story based on our personal experiences, and my spiritual experience is quite similar to Kidd's. I can relate to the phases she had to go through in order to find peace with her path; I honor and respect her journey. Read this book with an open heart. I did not believe that she was bashing men or Christianity; ... Read More Rating: - This is an IMPORTANT book to read if you want to understand feminism. Sue Monk Kidd captures the reader with her openness about how she became a feminist, almost by accident. This is a very personal account describing her experience of moving from accepted Christianity to feminism. I found the story fascinating and finished it in only 3 days. For the most part, the author simply told her story and how she interpreted the events she faced along the way. However, at various places in the book she began to generalize her experiences to all women, which made me agree with the reviewer ... Read More Rating: - A voice from the wilderness Sue Monk Kidd's journey resonates for me as I have long struggled with the way we tend to ignore or excuse the masculine priority that surrounds women's lives. Ms. Monk explores and ennunciates the "stacked deck" of everything from language and religion to the ingrained assumptions of women's secondary status in the world. True the balance has shifted somewhat, but as long as there are places where men have a "right" to beat their wives, where it is against the law for women to be educated, where it's a BIG DEAL ...
