Jan Geurtz Addicted to love

the path to self-acceptance and happiness in relationships

In Addicted to Love, Jan Geurtz clearly demonstrates how our search for love and approval stems from a fundamental self-rejection. We try to compensate for this by seeking other people’s appreciation. But this is counterproductive: it actually makes us more insecure and therefore increasingly dependent.

Leigh Ann Craig Wandering women and holy matrons

women as pilgrims in the Later Middle Ages

This book explores women’s experiences of pilgrimage in Latin Christendom between 1300 and 1500 C.E. Women commonly engaged in pilgrimage in a variety of forms, both physical and spiritual, voluntary and compulsory, and to locations nearby and distant. Acting within both practical and social constraints, such women helped to construct more positive interpretations of their desire to travel and of their experiences as pilgrims.
