"38 International contributors reflect on finding Goddess within (and without) Christianity and Islam.

""How did we go from a place where women were honored and respected and rape was inconceivable, to a place where women are treated as little more than intelligent animals to be used and tossed away?"" -Liona Rowan

""Why would God create half of humanity only to be subjugated, and then give that oppressed half the divine spark in our wombs?"" -Tamara Albanna

""Can You Kill the Spirit? What Happened to Female Imagery for God in Christian Worship?"" -Carol P. Christ, PhD

""My father was not love, so how could I even think of the male deity and its offshoots: Lord, King...

Kingdom...? How can the triune God be in community with nothing but men or masculine archetypes?"" -Bonnie Odiorne, PhD

""Why do I need Jesus to mediate what conversations I have with God? How is it reasonable to posit that those who do not profess a belief in him are condemned to hell? Explain how God is a three-personed deity who imposes a set of rules we are to follow but who also sets certain biological instincts in opposition to those rules? And what the hell is all this business about God creating man, but man creating woman?"" -Dominique Christina

""By altering tradition - and amending the translation from the (now) traditional ""He"" to ""She"" - does the collective consciousness of the Ummah shift? Do we authentically reclaim The Divine Feminine inside Allah that was acknowledged 1400 years ago? Do we eliminate the neo-patriarchal paradigm that infects the Islam of our ""modern"" era?"" -Shahla Khan Salter

""When was the last time we experienced true prophecy? The last prophets gave us patriarchy. Since then, our connection to the divine has seemingly ceased while mainstream religion continues to regurgitate the old destructive message. Simultaneously, current low rates of church attendance attest to the irrelevance of that message. We clearly need a new message."" -Mary Petiet

Trista Hendren founded Girl God Books in 2011 to support a necessary unraveling of the patriarchal worldview of divinity. Her first book-The Girl God, a children's picture book-was a response to her own daughter's inability to see herself reflected in the divine. Since then, she has published more than 50 books with hundreds of contributors from across the globe. Originally from Portland, Oregon, she now lives in Bergen, Norway. You can learn more about her projects at www.thegirlgod.com. Noor-un-Nisa Gretasdottir is the pen-name of a deeply spiritual Sufi woman who is also enjoying learning about indigenous traditions as she receives priestess training. She is entering her wise-woman years gratefully on a beautiful lake in New England. They say we often choose our true family and this is true of Noor's family including Pam, and all her furry and feathered ones. Noor's holds deep concerns for various causes such as animal welfare, human rights abuses, interfaith relations, and poverty. She works to better the world in whatever way she can. Pat Daly is the mother of three daughters and proud grandma. With a spiritual journey that includes an Irish Catholic upbringing, a rebellious bout with atheism, and a Christian coffee house conversion, Pat is on an ongoing quest for spiritual wholeness. A published author / writer on career and job search issues, Pat lives in Portland, Oregon. She has edited all of the Girl God Books from the beginning.
