If Genesis and Exodus had been written by a woman, what would they be like? Re-imagined from a woman's perspective, these familiar events delight the imagination and stir the soul in refreshing new ways. Miriam Therese Winter retells our ancient myths of Creation, the Garden, and the Flood, and chronicles the adventures of the remarkable women of Genesis and Exodus: Sarah and Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel, Miriam, and many more. According to the author, she is presenting us with an ancient manuscript that was written long ago by one of the many wives of Solomon. This woman writer, named Noah, feared the loss of women's perspective as written records began replacing oral traditions. She wrote these Chronicles to offer another side to the story of our shared myths and memories. The Chronicles of Noah and Her Sisters is wonderful spiritual reading, and a must for all women - and men - concerned about handing on the essentials of faith to their daughters and granddaughters.

This book blends science and spirituality to see whole truths that "make all things new." Its aim is to help us realize that we who are people of faith cannot continue to practice our faith in isolation anymore. A quantum universe is telling us that we are all connected; that the God of one is the God of all; that diversity is a blessing; that the suffering of any of earth's people or any part of the planet is a desecration to us all. The benefit of the book is to jumpstart us in a new spiritual direction that is as energizing as it is surprising. It encourages us to look at life through a new lens that will help us see more than we have ever seen before. It is one of those rare books on quantum science that transcends information and offers us a way of transformation.
