'Women at the Well is required reading for women who wish to grow spiritually, and for every spiritual director / pastoral counselor. Fischer provides a much-needed corrective to the literature on spiritual accompaniment with a method that includes a synthesis of scholarship and the stories of women's lives. She addresses issues of power, anger, and violence against women, as well as women's spiritual heritage...' Katherine M. Dyckman SNJM, co-author, Inviting the Mystic, Supporting the Prophet and Chaos or Creation: Spirituality in Mid-Life
Library JournalTherapist, spiritual director, theologian, and teacher, Fischer explores ways that new approaches to direction can heal and empower women, bridging the gap between inchoate experiences and traditional meanings assigned by men. Some topics here are standard (paradigms of growth, images of God, prayer styles), while others deal with women's special concerns (issues of power, anger, and sexist violence), but all are seen through a nonradical feminist lens. Testimonies of Fischer's directees, biblical stories, and reflective prayer exercises enrich this thoughtful work.-- EC
