| In Journey into Healing, Sherri Waas Shunfenthal invites her readers to delve into the hearts and
minds
of eleven women from the Hebrew Bible. As with her previous book, Sacred Voices: Women of Genesis
Speak, Shunfenthal utilizes her poetic spirit to give voice to these matriarchs and heroines, a
freedom
not allowed to most of them by the biblical writers. The author is particularly interested in how women
who
have undergone such diverse and stressful life experiences as these biblical women seek, and hopefully
find,
healing and wholeness. Each woman's story is presented in five parts: poetry, discussion, reflections,
contemplations, and meditation. This design provides the reader with an entry into the biblical woman's
story
followed by a roadmap for journeying further into the emotions of her life and the possible connections
between these biblical characters' experiences and those of the reader. The final product reaches the
reader
on various levels and allows for repeat visits to the spaces for healing the author has given her
audience.
Journey Into Healing is a text that is at home in both the classroom and the religious
environment.
Wherever this book is read, lives will be changed and the biblical stories of these women will never be
the
same. -Dr. Lisa Davison, Lexington Theological Seminary
