In the Womb of God

This book was born out of the tension between the author's dance career and impending motherhood. Suspending her work while pregnant, she began to write down her conflicted thoughts.

The result is In the Wormb of God--Celeste Schroeder's celebration of giving birth, nurturing children, and carrying out everyday tasks in which she shows how such experiences can put one in touch with the most creative and intimate dimensions of the divine.

Through simple reflections, the author depicts a journey common to many who feel fragmented by the many competing demands on their lives. Yet she also shows how to find the spiritual unity that exists just below the surface tenions. Schroeder exults in wonder and joy as she trips over rocks at high tide, frolics on playground equipment in the park, grieves over the deaths of her parents, ponders the meaning of her dreams, images God as a nursing mother, and much more.

Here is exciting, creative, feminist spiritual writing at its best: rich in sensory metaphor and texture, yet firmly grounded in meditation and prayer. Indeed, reviewers hail Schroeder's writing for it "many beautiful insights," and for its "style and grace."

Anyone--man or woman--looking for a richer spiritual life will want to join the increasing numbers who are discovering this gifted author.
