A Ground-breaking Narrative of Faith, Struggle, and EmpowermentRev Liz’s Mother God - My Missio Dei is more than just a novel; it is a powerful, personal testimony of one woman’s unwavering journey to answer her divine calling despite the overwhelming odds stacked against her. Rooted deeply in themes of spirituality, mental health, and women’s rights within the Church, the book presents a bold narrative that challenges long- held traditions and societal expectations, offering readers an inspiring story of transformation and empowerment.The protagonist of Mother God - My Missio Dei has known from her teenage years that she is called to the priesthood - a sacred calling she is consistently denied by the Church, which refuses to recognise women in this role. As she faces the emotional toll of this constant rejection, the protagonist struggles with her mental health, navigating an inner world of frustration, grief, and hope. Yet, this is not merely a tale of personal hardship; it is one of resolute faith, resilience, and eventual triumph.An Author Who Lives Her MessageRev Liz is not just a storyteller - she is an advocate for women’s rights within the Church, and her activism shines through in every page of this book. As a member of the Catholic Women’s Ordination (CWO) and the Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC), Rev Liz has fought for years to see women included in sacred roles traditionally dominated by men. This novel is a reflection of her personal mission to dismantle these gender-based barriers within religious institutions.Through her protagonist’s journey, Rev Liz shares not only the external battle to gain acceptance but the deeply personal toll it takes on the individual. It is about breaking free from a system that has long denied the spiritual authority of women. The protagonist’s eventual rise to pope is not just a victory for her but for all those who believe in the potential of women to lead with wisdom, grace, and divinely inspired authority.The Role of Animals: Faith and HealingA unique and touching element of the novel is the role of animals, particularly assistance dogs and horses, in the protagonist’s spiritual journey. These animals are more than companions- they serve as symbols of faith, support, and unconditional love. Rev Liz draws on her deep understanding of how animals can offer profound emotional healing, showcasing how these bonds with animals parallel the protagonist’s relationship with her divine calling.The animals in Mother God - My Missio Dei provide the protagonist with a form of spiritual support and grounding when everything else feels uncertain. Their presence is a quiet but steady reminder of the importance of trust, care, and resilience. For Rev Liz, animals represent the nurturing, ever-present love that guides us through life’s challenges, much as faith does.A Transformative Story of Courage, Faith, and ChangeMother God - My Missio Dei is not just a compelling story - it is a powerful call to action for anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world or the right to live their truth. Rev Liz’s narrative speaks to those who have felt the sting of rejection, the weight of societal expectations, and the courage it takes to follow a calling in the face of adversity.Amy Adams, Chief Critic, UK Book Publishing
