Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

When the author began attending church she had more doubt than faith. Her biggest struggle was with the language of Christian religion. This is the story of one woman's gradual conversion, but it is also an investigation into how we can embrace beliefs passed down to us and make them our own.

5.0 out of 5 stars An honest and inspiring exploration of Christian language., 29 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Ever been confused by the jargon that is attached to Christianity? Kathleen Norris takes a range of key words that are used and explains them in relation to her own understanding and experiene. Her background as a writer, the faith of her grandmothers, her experiences in a Benedictine Monastery, life in a struggling church...all these things and more are drawn upon to illuminate words that we may have heard a hundred or more times but we have never understood. If you are searching for a book that helps you explore what you are thinking or want to read how someone else has found words to express concepts that you cannot quite quantify then read this book. It is best savoured slowly and is one of those books I never want to end. If you are drawn to the label post-evangelical then you may find some helpful material here, questions and uncertainty are allowed.
