A striking coffee table book whose prose and photographs draw the reader into the prayerful rhythms of monastic life, as pictured in Mepkin Abbey, Moncks Corner, SC, and show us not only how monasticism is a unique call, but also how its values and virtues echo the universal Christian call to holiness. Black and white and color photos accompany the text.
A readable overview of the contemporary spiritual scene that defines, outlines and advocates several models or methods for studying Christian spirituality with a respect for Scripture, tradition and one's own personal and cultural experiences.
