The Feminine Face of God: The Unfolding of the Sacred in Women (1991)
by Sherry Ruth Anderson with
Patricia Hopkins
For many contemporary women, the old patriarchal models
of religion are no longer relevant, forming a need to look beyond the
male-oriented past to a wider, more fulfilling spiritual horizon.
In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, Sherry Anderson and
Patricia Hopkins show how many women have redefined traditional beliefs
and rediscovered their own unique spiritual heritage -- The Feminine
Face of God.

The Cultural Creatives: How 50 Million People Are Changing the World (2000) by
Paul H. Ray and Sherry Ruth Anderson
Are You a Cultural Creative?
Do you dislike all the emphasis in modern culture on success and "making
it," on getting and spending, on wealth and luxury goods? Do you care
deeply about the destruction of the environment and would pay higher
taxes or prices to clean it up and to stop global warming? Are you
unhappy with both the left and the right in politics and want to find a
new way that does not simply steer a middle course?
In this landmark book, sociologist Paul H. Ray and psychologist Sherry
Ruth Anderson draw upon thirteen years of survey research studies on
more than 100,000 Americans, plus more than 100 focus groups and dozens
of in-depth interviews. They reveal who the Cultural Creatives are and
the fascinating story of their emergence over the last generation, using
vivid examples and engaging personal stories to describe their
distinctive values and lifestyles.
The Cultural Creatives care deeply about ecology and saving the planet,
about relationships, peace, and social justice, about
self-actualization, spirituality, and self-expression. Surprisingly,
they are both inner-directed and socially concerned; they're activists,
volunteers, and contributors to good causes more often than other
Americans. But because they've been so invisible, they are astonished to
find out how many others share both their values and their way of life.
Once they realize their numbers, their impact on America promises to be
enormous, shaping a new agenda for the twenty-first century.
What makes the appearance of the Cultural Creatives especially timely is
that our civilization is in the midst of an epochal change, caught
between globalization, accelerating technologies, and a deteriorating
planetary ecology. A creative minority can have enormous leverage to
carry us into a new renaissance instead of a disastrous fall. The book
ends with a number of maps for the remarkable journey that our
civilization is embarked upon: initiations, evolutionary models,
scenarios, and the elements of a new mythos for our time. The Cultural
Creatives offers a more hopeful future and prepares us all for a
transition to a new, saner, and wiser culture.
