SPIRITUAL MUSINGS: Wild Woman Theology

Rev. Marcia Fleischman will be signing copies of her new book, Wild Woman Theology: In the Arms of Loving Mother God, on Sunday, October 18th after church in the Fellowship Hall.

She was inspired to rewrite the stories of the women of the Bible based on the image of a loving, encouraging mother God instead of an angry punishing God. This is most obvious in the story of Lot's wife who turned into a pillar of salt, not because she disobeyed God's command and was punished, but because she was so sad at being  betrayed by her husband. With over 40 illustrations, the stories are written in rhyme and have a bit of humor and anachronism for fun.

The book sells for $26. Contact the church office at 816-561-3274 to order a copy.
