In this collection of essays, Mary Lane Potter combines the best of academic acumen, spiritual insight, and personal experience to reveal the transformative liminal experiences that await us everywhere. She reflects on the deep patterns of liminality and the ways in which ritual and imagination give shape and direction to its passages. She shifts reflection on the great in-between spaces of life from arid analysis to enchanted dance, the likes of which transport us through and beyond time.

Reviews for The Body Leads the Way

This book is a wonder. Potter's dynamic interpretations of ever-unfolding relationships between ritual and liminality are boundary-blasting, widely, deeply learned, and blessedly accessible. She combines personal narrative with scholarly sources in ways that are profound, probing, delightful, and generously invitational. The Coda, ""How to Wear a Prayer Shawl,"" the author's final gift to her readers, is, alone, worth the price of the book. Mary Farrell Bednarowski is Professor Emerita of Religious Studies at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities
