Putting body and bones to the biblical stories, Brakeman explores the passions of biblical women, such as Sarah's laughter, Jephthah's daughter's anger, and Martha's envy. Each of the eight chapters probes what these women might have felt and encourages women to name and claim their feelings. Includes suggestions for personal prayer and meditation, and ideas for group exercises.

<p>Connecting...disconnecting...reconnecting...so goes the ageless pattern of relationship. Using the lively lens of midrash to revisit biblical stories - where people notoriously had their share of disconnections with each other and with God - Brakeman imaginatively uncovers the mysterious ways God is present in all our relationships. Includes six relationship studies: Mother and daughter (Herodias and Salome), Marriage (Adam and Eve), Friendship between a woman and a man (Esther and the palace eunuch), Mother and son (Mary and Jesus), Friendship between two men (David and Jonathan), a woman's group (the women at Jesus' tomb). Includes commentary and questions for reflection or discussion at the end of each chapter that adds a rich dimension for individual or group use.</p>
