Book excerpt: Mark Salzman's Lying Awake is a finely wrought gem that plumbs the depths of one woman's soul, and in so doing raises salient questions about the power-and price-of faith. Sister John's cloistered life of peace and prayer has been electrified by ever more frequent visions of God's radiance, leading her toward a deep religious ecstasy. Her life and writings have become examples of devotion. Yet her visions are accompanied by shattering headaches that compel Sister John to seek medical help. When her doctor tells her an illness may be responsible for her gift, Sister John faces a wrenching choice: to risk her intimate glimpses of the divine in favor of a cure, or to continue her visions with the knowledge that they might be false-and might even cost her her life.

Download or read book A Right to Be Merry written by Mother Mary Francis and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2001-09-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÊCan life really be "merry" inside a Poor Clare cloister? This happy book reveals the challenges, cares and joys of that cloistered life from an "insiders" view. The poet's cry, "O world, I cannot hold you close enough!" is the heart's cry of the enclosed contemplative. No one who has not lived in a cloister can fully understand just how intertwined are the lives of cloistered nuns. Their hearts may be wide as the universe and bottomless as eternity, but the practical details of their living are boxed up into the small area within the enclosure walls. Cloistered nuns rub souls as well as elbows all their lives, and if they do not step out of themselves to get a true perspective, they can become small-souled and petty and remain immature children all their lives long. But, as Mother Mary Francis points out, they also have "as great a right to be merry as any lady in the world." Nor is merriment all. "Hidden away from the glare and noise of worldly living," Mother Mary Francis writes, "we are enclosed in the womb of holy Church. I walk down the cloisters, and my heart moves to a single tune: Lord, it is good, so good to be here!"

Download or read book Prey for a Miracle written by Aimée Thurlo and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-06-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sister Agatha is an extern nun in the cloistered order at the Our Lady of Hope Monastery, located near a small New Mexican desert town. As an extern, Sister Agatha is the link between her cloistered sisters and the outside world. Usually this means running errands in the monastery's slowly dying car (dubbed the Anti-Chrysler) or on their motorcycle with Pax, the order's German shepherd, in the side car. Sometimes her duties involve something more - like when a local girl goes missing in the middle of the night and her mother's car is run off the road, leaving her mother injured and unconscious in the car's front seat." "Natalie Tannen is the eight-year-old niece of Father Mahoney and a controversial figure in the local community. She's claimed to have a guardian angel that only she can see, one who tells her things, and some of the locals have been connecting her with supposed miracles. Some people have wanted her to use her "powers" for miraculous cures or to reveal future events. However, it appears that someone has something far more sinister in mind. Now it's up to Sister Agatha not only to find and protect the missing girl, but in order to keep her safe, she must uncover the truth behind the gift and her "guardian angel" before it is too late."--BOOK JACKET.
