In this inspiring book and extraordinary journalist tells the story of her spiritual coming-of-age, speaking with candor of the pain and triumph at the core of the female religious experience. Married young and unknowingly to an underworld figure, Lynne Bundesen fled with the children and began a journey that would take her to war-torn Cambodia, China, Israel, and Europe, as well as deep within her own heart and soul. It also chronicles her search for meaning and wholeness and her unexpected discovery of the inspiration and power she found through the women of the Bible.
I just finished this lovely book again... and the second read was even more enriching than the first. This is a lovely personal perspective on so many rich passages. A treat.
Touched my heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
If you are a woman who loves the Bible, this book is a "must read." I found it enlightening and a fast read. The title comes from a passage in I Samuel where Hannah has prayed. "Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad."
Spiritual Refreshment!

From the moment I read the title to the last page, I was caught up in a journey through one women's life, that though different from my own, was so familiar. Here was a woman who treated the Word of God, with clarity and mysterious awe, yet simplicity. "So the Woman Went Her Way" is a reference book for me. I keep it for those times when I need a spirit refreshment. Another great spiritual "journey" book for women is "The Feminine Face of God", a must have for any woman seeking spiritual sustenance and kindred spirits.
