Her Rites

“Christy Angelle Bauman offers a wise, gentle, and compelling vision of what needs to be consecrated in a woman’s life—the deaths and the births of hope.”—Dan B. Allender, PhD, founding president of the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology “Bauman invites us to peer into our lives and our bodies with holy wonder. Her Rites will bring joy to your life and empower you to live with more awareness of being a woman.”—Becky Allender, co-founder of the Allender Center  “Her Rites is for deeply hopeful women who have been conditioned to live in the pain of domestication. Full of honesty and heartache, it is a pilgrimage to reclaim your life.”—Jay Stringer, licensed psychotherapist and author of Unwanted “Don’t just read Her Rites; expect to experience it, to wrestle with it, to sit and be still with all the God moments it brings. I emerged from Her Rites lighter, more confident, and better able to listen to my body. I am grateful.”—Sheila Wray Gregoire, author of The Great Sex Rescue “Her Rites left me breathless. I’ll be unpacking this book’s wild legacy of biblical womanliness in my own life for a long time.”—Sarah McDugal, co-founder of Wilderness to WILD “A magnificent journey through the passages of a woman’s life . . . For women searching to heal, integrate with, and celebrate their deepest selves, Her Rites offers a passionate exploration of our lifelong quest for meaning and wholeness.”—Natalie Hoffman, author of Is It Me? “This book is a stunning invitation to take your life seriously, as well as a helpful resource for doing just that.”—Scott Erickson, author of Honest Advent “Her Rites is an extraordinary must-read for any woman.”—Tracy Johnson, founder of Red Tent Living “Required reading for every woman and mother who has questioned her sanity in a world that denies the feminine a voice . . . In Her Rites we have not only a voice but an entire song dedicated to our wholeness, value, and worth.”—Jennifer Magnano, the Barefoot Preacher
