Civilization as we know it has been destroyed, not through war or asteroid impact, but by a geologic holocaust of planetary proportions. The scattered survivors live simply, primitively, bonded to the earth and the Great Goddess. Their one hope lies in the dream-given prophecy that Greer the Sibling, a female savior, will rise and restore them to greatness. An epic and magical story of one woman's exceptional destiny during exceptional times, Goddess Rising follows Greer's journey from simple obscurity to her prophesied reign. Acknowledged as the face of the Goddess on earth, Greer discovers the rewards of power-and the price-as she struggles through her own labyrinth of fear and desire, sexuality and sacrifice, love and death.

RAVES FOR GODDESS RISING
 

 "I have rarely been so captivated by a story and its characters, but I couldn't put Goddess Rising down. I felt a special kinship with Greer and I didn't want her story to end." —C. Diane Ealy, Ph.D., author of The Woman's Book of Creativity. 

"A heroine, a story and old, old wisdom perfect for these times. I came away from Goddess Rising nourished and heartened." —Mary Sojourner, author of Delicate: Stories of Light & Desire and Sisters of the Dream  

“Bowersock writes with a passionate, poetic style.” —Foreword Magazine

Mythical and Inviting

 I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The Hero's Journey was evident throughout the book from the initial refusal of the call to the facing of enemies, discovering our allies, the return with the treasure, and the final difficulty of living in two worlds. Joseph Campbell would be proud! The crafting of Greer's act of surrender, of being true to one's purpose in life, regardless of personal desires and outcome, exemplified the struggle we each go through in order to be true to ourselves and our Soul Path. Brava! —C.A., Portland, OR.

Absorbing and Inspirational

The characters were beautifully and deeply introduced and I felt a strong bond with each of them. I immensely enjoyed this read. I will read it again and again over the months and years to come. —B.P., Seattle, WA.

Enlightening and Inspired

Goddess Rising is one of those rare books that not only provides the reader with a good story, but also brings greater understanding and a level of higher-consciousness to one’s own self and soul purpose. As I was reading this book I found myself connecting with Greer on a multitude of levels and found her story to be my story, as well as every other woman’s story who finds herself standing at the edge of a path leading towards awakening. Greer is truly Everywoman.

Ancient Belief Systems

Melissa Bowersock's Goddess Rising speaks to the belly of your belief systems. After studying comparative religions for twenty years, this is one of the few books I've read that takes the inner qualities that created beliefs and puts it in a format that is not only entertaining but educational. It gives the reader a look at how it all may have started in a story format that you simply cannot put down!

A Story That Expands Your View of Life

 It is rare to encounter a book that can have a lasting impact as Goddess Rising. This story will definitely expand your view of life. Read it once and read it again after a few months. You will notice new insights each and every time you read Greer's story. —J. H. Princeton, NJ.

Not Just a Good Read

I've never read a book like it. It's fantastic. I can see why the author cried when she finished it. Goddess Rising is an experience, not just a story. —P.L. Cambridge, Wisconsin

Goddess Rising Rises To and Exceeds Expectations

I could not put it down. The story is timeless. The Goddess in each of us (woman and man) is worth finding/honoring and this tale exemplifies the journey. I didn't expect so much! Even if it hadn't augmented my personal journey, I'd enjoy it for the action, detailed geology, the challenges, (s)heroism, the inclusive cast of characters, and the respectful handling of life in general. Have a sit, read Goddess Rising, those who do are again blessed. —L.B. Lakewood, CO.
