  Domestic Monastery : Creating A Spiritual Life At Home

  $12.99

  What is a monastery? A monastery is a place set apart–a place to learn the blessings of powerlessness, and that time is not ours but God’s. Our home and our duties can, just like a monastery, teach us those things. The vocation of monastic men and women is to physically withdraw from the world. But the principle is equally valid for those of us who cannot go off to monasteries. Certain vocations offer the same kind of opportunity for contemplation, and provide a desert for reflection.

  In ten brief and powerful chapters, Fr. Ron explores how monastery life can apply to those who don’t live in a cloister:

  – Monasticism and Family Life
  – The Domestic Monastery
  – Real Friendship
  – Lessons from the Monastic Cell
  – Ritual for Sustaining Prayer
  – Tensions within Spirituality
  – A Spirituality of Parenting
  – Spirituality and the Seasons of Our Lives
  – The Sacredness of Time
  – Life’s Key Question

  Restless Heart : Finding Our Spiritual Home In Times Of Loneliness

  $20.00

  A thoughtful exploration of loneliness, in the tradition of Henri Nouwen’s classic Reaching Out. Loneliness may be more pervasive now than at any other time in human history. Cell phones and “instant messaging” not withstanding, our longing for meaningful connections seems to increase in direct proportion to our accessibility.

  In The Restless Heart, Ronald Rolheiser identifies different types of loneliness and discusses the dangers and opportunities they represent in our lives. Using contemporary parables from literature, film, and his own life, he shows that loneliness can be a tremendously creative and even valuable force when it is recognized, accepted and used as a dynamic catalyst. With his trademark clarity of vision, honesty, and intelligence, Rolheiser offers a distinctively Christian approach to living an examined, involved life and presents suggestions that will free readers to discover greater meaning and fulfillment in their own lives.
