Spiritual Truth in the Age of Fake News"Elizabeth Geitz pulls no punches as she calls us to move beyond the many 'isms' that plague our culture today, to read the Scriptures with eyes wide open, and to commit ourselves again to loving all our neighbors with no exceptions." "In this important book, Elizabeth Geitz speaks truth to power—the power of biblical tradition. She introduces us to heroines and spiritual guides who contradict the image of subservience women have accepted for centuries. Any woman of any faith can find strength and inspiration—and hope—in the citations she has assembled to tell our story." "In her penetrating and highly readable critique, Elizabeth Geitz laments the distortions of a weaponized Scripture—passages cherry-picked, quoted out of context, falsely interpreted, or simply omitted in order to promote a spiritually corrupt agenda. She offers readers a series of reflections as a path to arriving at the truth." |

I Am That Child"Elizabeth Geitz's odyssey to a Cameroon orphanage yields profound insights into AIDS, criminalization of HIV, and racial and gender discrimination--not to mention a narrative that is as breath-taking as it is inspiring." “This most compelling book about mission that is honest-to-God … and honest-before-God … that I have ever read.” "Geitz takes us into a brilliant world–one seldom seen through Western eyes. If you see this world, I predict two things. First, you will not look away. Lastly, you will discover here courage and perseverance." "[A] touching account of learning and growing across boundaries of culture and economics that shows 'the love of God materialized.' Geitz's book encourages us to explore solidarity with companions in the Two-Thirds World–and with those suffering injustice at home." “The stories unfold in short, lively chapters and take the reader on a fascinating tour. Elizabeth Geitz writes lucidly and engagingly of her own privilege and a pilgrimage that brought her to a renewed passion and priesthood; one hopes that she'll continue sharing more with us all.” |

Gender and the Nicene Creed"It is to be hoped that Elizabeth Rankin Geitz will be heard....'digging below the surface of commonly held understandings,' Geitz discovers how the Creed reveals the feminine attributes of God and the feminine traditions of Christianity." "A cogent and persuasive plea for a return to the full catholic tradition which would make a critical contribution to the debate about gender in matters of faith." "Elizabeth Geitz has done a beautiful job in recovering that which has been lost and found and lost again and again - feminine attributes of God and some important feminine traditions of Christianity. I, for one, am gratefully in her debt." |

Entertaining Angels"(Mainline churches) might learn to do better with people who have had the courage to find their way across a sanctuary threshold, often to be turned off by the indifferent and apathetic inside. Geitz would quicken their interest, open doors." "Emphasizes welcoming and nurturing; we're getting a lot of lay involvement." |

Women’s Uncommon PrayersCo-edited by Elizabeth Geitz "Cries out to all women, celebrating feminine life in all its joy and sorrow ... a truly Feminine Psalmody praising the eternal She Who Is." "Touches upon many aspects of the lives and work of women. For example, there are prayers on facing an operation, on going to a wedding reception alone, comfort when the pregnancy test is negative, in celebration of childbirth, menarche bewilderment ... for unsafe neighborhoods, for a child who has been molested." |

All Shall Be WellSee Elizabeth's chapter “Renewing Vocational Vision” "This book serves as both a refresher on the process of change and a foretaste of what may come from exploring the cycle of Identity, Discernment, Practice and Transformation. No matter where one begins the walk, All Shall Be Well is the journal of that journey, toward wellness." |
