”Odyssey with the Goddess depicts a spiritual journey from death and despair to healing and rebirth. At its deepest level, it is a story with universal resonance. It is also a woman’s story, a spiritual quest told from a particular point of view.”
These are Christ’s own words and there is no way I could explain what this book is better than the author. This book did resonate with me and I found it more accessible than the other works that I have read by Christ.
I am considering visiting Crete with Christ. She is a scholar and a believer in the Goddess. Her faith has led her to Crete and she has taken many others to the important religious sites on this island. I find her trips intriguing. However, so far, I have found good reasons not to travel on this adventure. In the meantime, I have been reading all of Christ’s works in chronological order.
My religious beliefs and Christ’s are not the same, however, I find much of what she says thought provoking and challenging. I was brought up as a Christian and did not encounter many other faiths until I got to college. I don’t want to say my beliefs were set in stone, but it took me awhile to consider other options. I am grateful to Christ and other writers who have helped me examine my faith and figure out what I believe.
If you are interested in religion, especially exploring faiths that you may not be familiar with, you should pick up this book. It is a memoir and so more accessible (in my opinion) than Christ’s scholarly works.
