Recenzii
"Limited in their public roles throughout much of history, women have often found outlets by developing their private, spiritual lives, exploring in depth what St. Teresa of Avila called "the interior castle." Heaven's Face Thinly Veiled is a gorgeous compilation of the spiritual ruminations of a wide range of women—from Julian of Norwich, whose mystic visions gave her a glimpse of the feminine side of God, to tenth century Afghan poet and mystic Rabiah Balkhi, to novelist and activist Alice Walker."—Yes! A Journal of Positive Futures
"An idiosyncratic, fascinating collection that will introduce readers to many new voices reflecting on 'the hidden seas within."—Holly Hammond, Yoga Journal
