1996For years, Sue Monk Kidd was a conventionally religious woman. Then, in the late 1980s, she experienced an unexpected awakening, and began a journey toward a feminine spirituality. With the exceptional storytelling skills that have helped make her name, Kidd tells her very personal story of the fear, anger, healing, and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness that many women have lost in the church. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and to rituals in the caves of Crete, she reveals a new level of feminine spiritual consciousness for all women one that retains a meaningful connection with the "deep song of Christianity," embraces the sacredness of ordinary women's experience, and has the power to transform in the most positive ways every fundamental relationship in a woman's life her marriage, her career, and her religion. 238p.As new except for remainder mark.

1865réf. 373230Richard Keene Derby Undated c.1865. 6th Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Eyam is best known for its remarkable decision to isolate itself in order to stop the spread of the bubonic plague after it was detected in the village. This tragic chapter in Eyam's history started in 1665 when a bundle of cloth infested with fleas was delivered from London to Alexander Hadfield the village tailor. The plague lasted for a duration of 14 months during which one report indicates that it claimed the lives of at least 260 villagers leaving only 83 survivors from an original population of 350. However this number has been disputed with some sources suggesting that there were 430 survivors from a total population of approximately 800. Additionally the church in Eyam maintains a record of 273 individuals who fell victim to the plague. Bound in blue contemporary cloth gilt lettered spine and gilt lettered & decorated upper board. A little wear at head of spine and a tiny piece missing from near foot. Colour photograph of Eyam Hall & Village Stocks to the reverse of the frontis engraving. Contents clean throughout and an attractive volume in the hand. Size: 12 x 18.5 cms.
