Excerpt from the book.

"The earth woman stood in the center of the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral, near Paris in France, and looked up in the impressively detailed ceiling. Gothic Cathedrals have so much symbolism. She tried to take it all in. Was there light up there between the beams?
Isis and God heard the woman’s thoughts, and instantly pulled back behind the cloud. They turned and looked at each other.
“I think you’ve found your candidate, Isis. She’s all yours,” God said with a generous swing of his arm.
Isis peeked over the edge of the cloud and looked at the woman again.
“Oh, but she’s just an American tourist! I thought she was a scholar in sacred geometry or knowledgeable about the Temple Knights who built the cathedral.”
“She’s from the land of the free and the home of the brave. She’ll be wonderful,” said God with great satisfaction."

And so begins, the wild adventure—deliciously wicked and wonderfully wise—of a middle-aged woman named Emily, her lover Sam, Mary Magdalene, the Virgin Mary, Isis—and yes, of course, God. Bold, stunning, irreverent, and wise, "Sex on the Altar" by Wencke Braathen pushes the allegoric envelope and sings with zest for life, love and unbridled passion.
