Wild Dancing: Embraced by Untamed Love

At the age of forty-three Sister Janice Edwards experienced brain surgery to remove a benign but destructive brain tumor. When the doctors woke her after three days of anesthesia, she spoke about Love and its communion. Her body was disabled, yet her spirit soared. Everyone’s spirit can soar; this conviction compelled her to write Wild Dancing.

In her recently published book, Janice uses personal stories and those of her spiritual directees to highlight how God’s great-hearted Love transforms us. Wild Dancing also uses stories from the destruction of September 11th, 2001, Sister Moira Kenny’s protest of the School of the Americas, and Sisters Deirdre Mullan’s and Carol Rittner’s United Nations conference on violence against women to expose God’s protest against horrific injustice.

Sister Janet Ruffing has written the foreword and the following quotes are from two of its endorsements.
“This is a rare and original book, full of wisdom about the spiritual life, human suffering, prayer, dark contemplation as well as light, and experiences of union with nature, other persons, and with God…It renders with simplicity some of the most complex of human possibilities in relation to God and all that God’s love holds in being.” – Margaret Farley, RSM.

“Janice Edwards vision of love is just as cosmic as Teilhard’s, but it is also a love that is clearly stronger than debilitating disease, than rape, than injustice, than the most intense physical suffering, all of which she has known personally. [She] invites us to join the central action of the universe, that sometimes terrifying but ultimately magnificent journey into becoming Love itself.” – Brian Thomas Swimme, PhD.
