What reviewers are
saying...
“With Enduring
Lives, I once again find myself transported home by the art and
craft of Carol Lee Flinders. She weaves together threads from
anthropology, history, myth, biology, psychology, religion and science
to create an intricate pattern. It is a pattern that tugs at my sleeve
and whispers good news in my ear about the power of women's wisdom in
our world.”
-Kathlyn Schaaf, Co-Founder of
Gather the Women
“Carol Lee Flinders
understands that people learn more from stories than from dictums. In
Enduring Lives, Flinders lovingly describes the back-stories of four
everyday saints and, through their examples, she inspires you to lead your
own 'enduring life.'”
Jennifer Baumgardner, coauthor
of Manifesta.
“Carol Flinders has given us
vivid accounts of living mystic women—Jewish, Christian, naturalist,
Buddhist—who have each faced personal loss, found the still point within,
and radiated out the fierce strength and loving heart of the spiritual
heroine. This book is truly inspiring.”
Judith Simmer-Brown,
Dakini's
Warm Breath
“Bold. Inspiring.
Provocative. Carol Flinders shows us how essential the spiritual path is for
us today, drawing on the traditions of Judaism, Catholicism, Tibetan
Buddhism and the world of nature—as lived by these four extraordinary women.
Flinders’ careful and faithful rendering of each woman’s spiritual life
gives us a map to guide us through the moral freefall of our time. Read this
book and hold on.”
China Galland, Longing for
Darkness
“Carol Lee Flinders writes of
the mystic life with a sensitivity that is itself an authentic spiritual
transmission. Enduring Lives is a treasure-providing a feminine
lineage from which all women can draw strength and inspiration.”
