Woman Song - Lynne Bundesen
- A Spiritual Journey
Women find their voices and sing through the Bible's pages . . . and so does the author of this memoir.
Married young and unknowingly to an underworld figure, Lynne Bundesen fled with her children on a journey that would eventually take her from war-torn Asia to deep within her own soul. This intimate memoir chronicles her search for meaning and wholeness as a woman in the second half of the twentieth century. Her round-the-world journey leads to a scriptural awakening, as she finds strength and inspiration in the women of the Bible. Their song becomes her own, and she discovers a biblical Feminine Spirit who works to bless, affirm, and honor women.
"Is it possible to find God even in terrible situations? Bundesen writes a fine memoir relating her struggle to do just that.... While this is one woman's journey, many women and men will find comfort, pain, humor, and conviction accompanying them on their own journeys. The accessibility of her writing makes this book recommended for everyone."
-Booklist
"Bundesen records a singular quest to free herself from sexist biblical interpretations. Through the stories of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel and Mary Magdalene, Bundesen finds that 'the Bible is a sea of glass in which to view the sacred, female self.'"
