Lisa's Reviews > Crossing to Avalon: A Woman's Midlife Quest for the Sacred Feminine

It's nice to add a book to my all time favorites shelf. It's been a long time since I've been able to do that!

This book was incredibly profound and was exactly what I've been looking for at this time in my life. Having become very interested in and involved in the Goddess movement..... or, push towards Feminine Divine consciousness, I found this book to be very balanced. It meant a lot to me that JSB finds a way to hold both God the Father and Mother Goddess in her heart in a real and balanced way.

I loved reading about her journey through the sacred Goddess sights in France and England. I have visited several of them already but want to return and add some of her other stops to my itinerary!

Jean Shinoda Bolen has a such a way of writing that you feel like you are having an afternoon of tea and sharing with a dear friend. She is absolutely honest, sincere, vulnerable, accessible. I just love her. I love her mission. I love the way her writing touches the reader and is inclusive of everyone.

Thank you so much for your journey and your writing, Jean Shinoda Bolen! You are truly a mentor and an inspiration!
