Review:
"This marvel of a book sings in the heart and makes the mind quiet with reverence, even as it instructs both of them with a holy gladness. The Monastery of the Heart is a gift to all seekers everywhere." —Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours
Joan Chittister is an internationally known author and lecturer, and the executive director of Benetvision, a resource and research center for contemporary spirituality. She is former president of the Conference of American Benedictine Prioresses and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Her books include The Friendship of Women, The Gift of Years, In the Heart of the Temple, and The Rule of Benedict. She lives in Erie, Pennsylvania.
"Joan Chittister has emerged as a wisdom figure for our time. Here she takes her wise monastic tradition and takes it on the road for all to love and enjoy." —Richard Rohr, author, The Naked Now
"Lyrical in its prose, The Monastery of the Heart reads like a holy distillation of all that Joan Chittister has written to date." —Ephrem Hollermann, author, The Reshaping of a Tradition
"The monastic archetype is embedded in every soul . . . Joan Chittister understands and communicates this to her contemporaries with rare insight and power. Her book will help more people discover this personally." —Laurence Freeman, author, The Selfless Self
"Chittister's new work reflects the creation of a new kind of quasi-monastic spirituality suited for the age of liberalization—and technology." —Library Journal
"This marvel of a book sings in the heart and makes the mind quiet with reverence, even as it instructs both of them with a holy gladness. The Monastery of the Heart is a gift to all seekers everywhere." —Phyllis Tickle, compiler, The Divine Hours
