| Women Saints East and West. by Ghanananda, Swami and Stewart-Wallace, John. Hollywood, CA: Vedanta Press. 1979. | "Women in every land and in every era of history have been known as the guardians of religion. Despite today's shift from ancient values, it is still the women who have the responsibility to bring religion into the home and inspire higher values. Here we have a collection of women saints including the famous singer Mira Bai, known for her poetic songs to Krishna, and the Christian mystic Julian of Norwich who perceived God as Mother. The women in this collection are shown not just as women who were highly spiritual, but as human beings who had to struggle and face many difficulties to find peace with God". |
| Women of Power and Grace: Nine Astonishing, Inspiring Luminaries of Our Time. by Conway, Timothy, Ph.D. Santa Barbara, CA: The Wake Up Press. 1994. | Here are the tales of nine women-illustrious spiritual leaders, splendid jewels of humanity. They all share at least one fact in common: each woman risked everything, stepping beyond all limiting conventions to rely on that wondrous Power we call God or Goddess. Relying on Divine Love, each woman became absorbed in Divine Love. One with the Divine, they now serve as potent instruments of Divine Blessing. They can transform your life! |
