Joan Chittister sheds light on what we need to know to “be in the world but not of the world.” She eschews the quick fix and offers instead a solid spiritual direction that has stood the test of time. Each chapter illuminates a spiritual quality we need to cultivate. Every illumination begins with a surprising story from the desert mystics and then segues into a practical application. The qualities and practices include awareness, beauty, community, humility, kindness, prayer, solitude, understanding, vision, and much more. Readers hungry for ancient wisdom that is ever new will benefit from the applied spirituality in Illuminated Life. Beautifully designed, it has all the hallmarks of a small classic.
