This book is a tour de force. It is simply magnificent–witty, scholarly, profoundly persuasive, blunt, prophetic, and convicting this slow-to-believe disciple all over the place.–Brennan Manning, author of The Ragamuffin Gospel

With tender power and wit, Paul Smith challenges the church to biblical fidelity and justice in its worship language. How encouraging it is to hear an evangelical male voice affirm the necessity of feminine images of God! This outstanding book so clearly and convincingly demonstrates the biblical imperative for inclusive God-language that the Christian community can no longer ignore it.–Jann Aldredge-Clanton, PhD, chaplain, Baylor University Medical Center; author of God and Gender and God: A Word for Girls and Boys
