For some, this language is meaningful. For others, it is deeply problematic. In both cases, it's limited. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne thing is certain: God is More. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMallory Wyckoff believes it's past time to expand the ways we think about God. Through personal story, theology, spirituality, and social justice (and highlighting the interconnectedness of each), Wyckoff explores feminine metaphors and untapped language for God--some biblical and familiar, some less well-known, but all revelatory of a God who is More than we've been allowed to imagine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Wyckoff illustrates, when we expand the ways we image and engage with God, we are invited to see the Divine more fully--and, in the process, our neighbors and ourselves. Those who have felt alienated by the typical ways of describing God in Christianity will meet God anew: As a Seamstress who stitches tapestries out of our tatters of shame. As a Sexual Trauma Survivor who has suffered alongside those who have endured the worst. As a Mother who nurtures us to life with her body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
