The Feminine Spirit By 197 pp. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, $17.95 (sc).
HOW MANY BOOKS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND as a "must read" for everyone? The Bible, Science and Health, and other writings of Mary Baker Eddy top my list. But somewhere farther down the list, I'd now add Lynne Bundesen's book The Feminine Spirit.
While the feminine nature of God—the clear logic of it—has become more credible to 21st-century thinkers, the world definitely still needs books like Bundesen's to spread the good news: to keep chipping away at the once rock-solid belief in a strictly masculine Deity; to give God the full honor due Her/Him; to give everyone on the globe the truest understanding that Biblical women and the women of today are equal to their male counterparts; and to remove once and for all the belief that women should be considered the possession of men—as chattel.
