When I began reading Weaving Faith and Experience, I thought that I would finish reading it in a few days. Little did I know that I was about to go on a brief journey that would redefine how I view the stage of life that I am experiencing at this moment.
Ms. Hathaway begins Weaving Faith and Experience by discussing the defining stages of life, specifically the adult years. She uses the seasons as Daniel J. Levinson defines them in his work, Season’s of a Woman’s Life. I believe that Ms. Hathaway does a great job taking the ideas one step further and puts the woman’s perspective into defining the adult years.
The main themes that I found were the unconditional grace of God, God’s presence in our lives, and how our love for God manifests itself in our love for others.
Truly a great resource for adult women who are looking to go a bit further in their faith journey and in their closeness to God.
