Our Lady of Guadalupe takes you to a time when a modest Aztec peasant had a vision of a radiant woman """"clothed in the sun."""" This divine presence began to emerge as a union between Mary of Christianity and the Mother Goddess of the native people. As her legend swept across the crumbling Aztec empire, she inspired millions of followers to peacefully embrace a changing world. Today, the beloved Lady of Guadalupe still acts as a benevolent, merciful force to help us rise above strife and violence. For those times when we are called to engage in compassionate yet decisive action, it is the force of the divine feminine embodied by Our Lady of Guadalupe that can guide our path. With poetry, prayers, and art gathered together by editor Mirabai Starr, Our Lady of Guadalupe gives you a powerful link to this blessed mother, and to the loving and righteous grace of her sacred energy.

At the age of 30, Julian of Norwich had a series of intense visions of Jesus which she recorded in what became the first book written in English by a woman. Her message remains relevant today and is strikingly apparent in this fresh and contemporary rendering of the text. An enticing read, that stimulates unique realizations about spirituality.

Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582) is one of the most beloved of the Catholic saints. In 1562, during the era of the Spanish Inquisition, Teresa sat down to write an account of the mystical experiences for which she had become famous. The result was this book, one of the great classics of spiritual autobiography. With this fresh translation of The Book of My Life, Mirabai Starr brings the inimitable Spanish mystic to life for a new generation, with contemporary English that mirrors Teresa''s own earthy, vernacular Spanish, and that presents us with—four centuries after Teresa''s death—someone we feel we know: a woman intoxicated with God yet filled with an overflowing love for the world.
