Louise Omer - Author of 'Holy Woman.'

Louise Omer is a Pentecostal preacher and faithful wife. But when her marriage crumbles, so do her beliefs.

She left behind a church and home to ask women around the world: how can we exist in patriarchal religion? And can a woman be holy?

Holy Woman combines travel writing, feminist theology, and confessional memoir to interrogate modern religion and give a raw and personal exploration of spiritual life under patriarchy.
