Wolf first made a name for herself with "The Beauty Myth," a 1991 feminist critique of feminine stereotypes. Admired by some and ridiculed by others, Wolf has since written on everything from motherhood to promiscuity. During the 2000 election campaign, she famously advised Al Gore to work on being an "alpha male," and her most recent book, a folksy memoir about her father, left many erstwhile fans clearing their throats in embarrassment.
Maybe that's what pushed Wolf toward Jesus. In an interview published last weekend in Scotland's Glasgow Sunday Herald, Wolf announced that she had been struggling with a midlife crisis a few years ago when she went into "a light meditative state." That's when it happened: "I was completely dumbfounded but I actually had this vision of of Jesus."
If that doesn't sound like the Naomi Wolf you love (or hate), Wolf agrees. "I wasn't myself in this visual experience. I was a 13-year-old boy sitting next to him [Jesus] and feeling feelings I'd never felt in my lifetime
. It was probably the most profound experience of my life."

..now WHICH Jesus would that be--the same one Jane Fonda found?
Until her next 'profound experience,' probably Satanism, especially if it has book sales possibilities. Naomi is dumb but not as dumb as she seems. She's always known how to grab a headline and profit from it.
..sorry about that--you posted this first.
Jesus calls us as we are, not the self-visualization as a 13 year old boy. I think she has been blinded by Satan.
If this is a true conversion, forgive me, Jesus. But I still don't think she has accepted Christ into her heart.
"By their fruits, ye shall know them" seems to apply here.
Her ephiphany sounds similar to Jane Fonda's. I'm willing to wait and see without throwing stones.
So does Howard Dean supposedly and it hasn't done much for him. I just hope Ms. Rowling isn't Presbyterian because her local Anglican church refused to campaign for a bike trail.
