Many years ago, while studying various accounts of the Garden of Eden and seeking a deeper faith and relationship with God, I began to question my role as a woman in God's kingdom. What is a woman's potential in her relationship with God? What do women do beyond the veil? What is our potential in this and the next life? Are we living beneath our privileges because we do not ask such questions? In my journey over a period of nearly ten years, I earnestly sought answers through study, writing, and prayer. This path of discovery led to surprising third alternatives and profound experiences, captured and included in this book as journal entries, email correspondence, and detailed notes from classes taught by Dr. Ronald E. Bartholomew.
This book is a record of my own personal experience. The access provided to the reader reflects the highs and lows of this journey as they occurred. It is not my intent to present perfected ideas but rather to lay bare an honest journey of reconciliation with my faith. While the entries have been edited or abridged for clarity, the essence of each entry and the events described within are true.
