Kathleen Norris (author of
The Cloister Walk) speaks to the great internal barricade that many spiritual seekers experience when they return to their childhood roots in Christianity; the language blocks the way. Words such as exorcism, demonic, sinner, and judgement act as locked gates, especially for those who have studied New Age notions and feminist ideology. As a seeker, feminist and poet, Norris was especially sensitive to the language of Christianity when she began her journey back to the Christian church. Word by word, Norris offers a contemplative discussion of how the scary language of Christianity can become palatable and even offer amazing comfort and grace. --

When Kathleen Norris began attending her grandmother's small-town church she was a poet with more doubt than faith. Her biggest struggle was with the language of the Christian religion, and words such as 'judgement', 'prayer', 'faith', 'dogma', 'salvation'.
