Spirituality

Equips readers to discover signs of God's in-breaking kingdom in everyday life.

In this beautiful little book Ronald Rolheiser turns on its head the idea that religious life is the preserve of monks and nuns. Our cloisters are the walls of our home and our work, the streets we walk, and the people with whom we share our lives. The domestic is the monastic.

This carefully researched book traces the history of fasting and abstinence in theChristian tradition, examining it from every point of view. It is both a story of discovery and a meditation full of information.
