About this listen

God is mother. God is midwife. God is hostess. God is mystery. God is home.

Traditional language for God has been dominated by a single image—Father—and masculine norms. For some, this language is meaningful. For others, it is deeply problematic. In both cases, it’s limited.

One thing is certain: God is more.

Mallory Wyckoff believes it’s past time to expand the ways we think about God. Through personal story, theology, spirituality, and social justice (and highlighting the interconnectedness of each), Wyckoff explores feminine metaphors and untapped language for God—some biblical and familiar, some less well-known, but all revelatory of a God who is more than we’ve been allowed to imagine.

As Wyckoff illustrates, when we expand the ways we image and engage with God, we are invited to see the Divine more fully—and, in the process, our neighbors and ourselves. Those who have felt alienated by the typical ways of describing God in Christianity will meet God anew: as a seamstress who stitches tapestries out of our tatters of shame, as a sexual trauma survivor who has suffered alongside those who have endured the worst, as a mother who nurtures us to life with her body.

Beautiful

I loved this book. I loved the opening of mind to the wonder of who God is. Rather than confirming it’s an invitation to explore who he is from many angles.
