I wasn't prepared for this book in the least and I'm glad for that, because I might not have read it if I was prepared. This book was one of the most profound spiritual books that I've read, not simply because of the material presented which is profound enough, but because it allowed me to start a journey of questioning what I believe and whether it is what I believe or what I've been taught to believe. It is not traditional-as the title would very clearly imply, but what it is instead touched me far more than anything traditional I've ever read. Sue Monk Kidd writes bravely and honestly in this book and helps give voice to the deep wounding experienced by females in traditional religious history and an understanding of how we got where we are today.
