In Journey into Healing, Sherri Waas Shunfenthal invites her readers to delve into the hearts and minds of eleven women from the Hebrew Bible. As with her previous book, Sacred Voices: Women of Genesis Speak, Shunfenthal utilizes her poetic spirit to give voice to these matriarchs and heroines, a freedom not allowed to most of them by the biblical writers. The author is particularly interested in how women who have undergone such diverse and stressful life experiences as these biblical women seek, and hopefully find, healing and wholeness. Each woman's story is presented in five parts: poetry, discussion, reflections, contemplations, and meditation. This design provides the reader with an entry into the biblical woman's story followed by a roadmap for journeying further into the emotions of her life and the possible connections between these biblical characters' experiences and those of the reader. The final product reaches the reader on various levels and allows for repeat visits to the spaces for healing the author has given her audience. Journey Into Healing is a text that is at home in both the classroom and the religious environment. Wherever this book is read, lives will be changed and the biblical stories of these women will never be the same.

-Dr. Lisa Davison, Lexington Theological Seminary

Reviewed By: Rev. Rebecca F. Cohen, Accotink Unitarian Universalist Church
Text Of Review: Sherri Waas Shunfenthal has given us a new way not only to understand the stories of women of the Hebrew Bible but to discover aspects of those stories within ourselves. The reflections and questions offered challenge us to learn from these women and from Ms. Shunfenthal's own experiences in order to develop and tap into our own resources of strength and hope. The power and possibility of healing is in evidence throughout the words of this book. The gentle stories and images say to us again and again, "Do not fear. With every breath that fills you, God is near." (Miriam's Well)
