Reviews
Chittister's small book is rich in its implications. Highly recommended. -- Graham Christian * Library Journal *
Characteristically, Chittister challenges the reader to seek the underlying motivation behind each [human] activity. In her words, she hopes to 'heighten our sensitivities to the point that there is no such thing as a moment without meaning for us'...She presents simple explanations for what might otherwise seem too profound for ordinary life. * Liguorian *
Consider this work as an example of the growth and transformation that can come from reading and savoring the spiritual words of others. Chittister knows that light can come in from all directions... [Joan] recognizes that tough questions can propel us into a deeper appreciation for the meaning of life and the mystery of God. -- Spirituality & Health, Praise for Joan's memoir Called to Question (2004)
This paperback contains twelve soul-stretching meditations on issues that touch the central core of our lives in relationship to God, the world, and others. -- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat * Spirituality and Growth *
