This book takes us along on a search for the feminine face of God. We travel with Linda Johnsen for a fascinating investigation of the great women saints of India who manifest the divine in their lives. Together with her we comb the scriptures, meet the holy ones, and are led, step by step, to sit in awe at the feet of six remarkable, contemporary women.
The stories, interviews, and reflections focus on women who are considered by Indian devotees to be incarnations of the Goddess and who show us a divinity far more alive, more human, and more dynamic than any of the treatises on ancient Goddess worship available.

"Linda Johnsen weaves a fascinating tale of her own spiritual search, her experience of the Divine Mother, and her visits with the contemporary women saints from modern India. She takes the Hindu embodiment of the Goddess and turns it into a living reality for the Western seeker. After her vibrant encounters, the idea of the Goddess in the West will have to be reformulated." —David Frawley, Author Gods, Sages, and Kings

"This book is like a load of dynamite that blows away most Western views and arguments, not with speculation but with centuries-old traditions and living proof." —Magical Blend Magazine

"Engrossing, charming...highly recommended." —Library Journal
