Catalyst: "The Friendship of Women: The Hidden Tradition of the Bible" from Blue Bridge Books, by Joan Chittister, 89 pages, paperback, c. 2006, $14
[Source: Blue Bridge Books] In The Friendship of Women, Joan Chittister explores the sacred dimension of friendship through the lens of faith, tradition, scripture, and the social sciences, and reveals the often-overlooked voices and experiences of women in the Bible. She recovers and reclaims the witness and wisdom of women such as Lydia, Prisca, Deborah, and Phoebe; of Esther, Martha, Veronica, and Elizabeth; and of Ruth, Anne, Miriam, and Mary Magdalene. Drawing a highly inspiring message from each of these women's lives, Chittister invites the reader to seek and embrace friendship as it is embodied between women, between God the Creator and all of creation, and between all human beings.
