A Woman's Journey to God

"I am a 47 year old woman in the midst of some rather large challenges regarding my personal and professional life. Growing up, there were no books in my house nor was there teaching of spirituality. There was no communication between my parents and there was no love shown to me and my sisters. Regarding A Woman's Journey to God, the reviews that suggests you pre-judge this book as "disappointing for the intelligent woman" and one that represents God as "a God for little girls" is disturbing to me. For me, this was a powerful read; It gave me strength in my femininity. I would suggest that in considering this book, not all information will be relevant to your particular lifestyle but that you may see in it the value of anothers experiences and perspective.
I personally read everything I can with the understanding that none of us are the same and we can grow more intimately and live our lives more deliberately by taking what we value from the authors intent and leave behind what we don't find beneficial. For me "Intelligence" has little to do with what we "need"."

"I'll keep this review as short as possible due to this book being a very disappointing read.

I did read it with anticipation and an open mind hoping to uncover some gems of wisdom or valuable insights, what I found however as I read on was disappointing beyond words.

Joan Borysenko has a way of talking things down, making many generalisations along the way and often belittling other views on spirituality. This might have been forgiven if she had delivered a strong counter argument and provided us with a solid read however, Borysenko really did not support her theories and argument in any convincing way shape or form at all.

This book will also be quite disappointing for the intelligent woman, it should be re-titled A girls journey to God.

I was expecting more, much more, what I was left with was
a feeling of being let down instead.

I recomend potential readers to look elsewhere as this book plainly fails to deliver."

"The author of this book, Joan Borysenko, is a leading authority on women's spirituality, which confounds me, because I did not know there was such a thing. An authority on spirituality I mean, since spirituality - well, read the book, because it is very well written and it is the story of a woman who is searching for the perfect fit between herself, her physical "me" self, and her spiritual self. The woman and her husband have no problem traipsing the continents in quest of the answer to their why am I heres and who am I's, and it makes for very interesting reading. I can't imagine how it is expressed from a soul to a written page as it attempts in this book, but what I enjoyed was the various descriptions of all kinds of practices, cults, religions, sects, and the quest itself is daring and adventuresome. These are good people, this is a good book, but I wondered why they were looking. Isn't the answer in the mirror?"

"I had this book for a long time and just never was drawn to it. After reading THE SAI PROPHECY, I felt a real need to read it. It answered questions I had not even formed, and led my mind to solutions and possibilities I had never imagined. A real catalyst and a must for every woman on a spiritual search. Thank you, sister Boryshenko!"

"Honest self-examination without self-absorption. I highly recommend this book to any woman -- particularly any mid-life woman -- who is exploring what it means to be a spiritual creature, and any man who looks at the women in his life and wonders what might be going on for them."
