Feeling Like God's Jilted Lover: Traversing the Mysteries of Faith

Feeling Like God's Jilted Lover is a volume steeped in story, gleaned from Marilyn Sewell's richly varied life experiences as a parish minister and public figure, a mother and a friend, a wife and then later a single woman. She draws from popular films and novels, traditional tales and fables, and from the wisdom of a variety of religious traditions. At the heart of this collection lie the enduring questions we all wrestle with: what will sustain me through times of loss? How do I invite love into my life? How do I become the person I was meant to become? Addressed to liberal religious readers and to people who identify as spiritual but not religious, Feeling Like God's Jilted Lover will call upon readers to note and attend lovingly to the sacred in everyday life.
