The Quotidian Mysteries: Laundry, Liturgy and “Women’s Work” (Madeleva Lecture in Spirituality) The bestselling author of The Cloister Walk reflects on the sanctifying possibilities of everyday work and how God is present in worship and liturgy as well as in ordinary life. Definitely not “for women only.”
Customer Review: What’s Prayer?
A remarkable work! Norris defends the inherent value to be found in the tedium of daily toil. What makes this small, 89-page book so compelling is that she reminds those of faith and those of us striving for faith that prayer does not reveal itself solely in the milieu of Sunday worship, but that it can be an unbroken dialogue with God, manifested as an offering of our obligatory, repetitive, sometimes even boring day-to-day responsibilities.

Customer Review: Native American Spirituality
I thought I would learn alot about Spirituality with this book and then I gave it to an elder to review, he told me that most of my learning will come with practice not reading. I am forever grateful to my teachers. However, this book did bring some good points to light for me. I would recommend that people at least have an open mind and read this because everything put in our path can be a learning experience. I only had one problem and that was went she stated that she became Native when one of her parents died. I didn’t quit understand that. She’s either Native or non-native.
Customer Review: Quick read, great stuff
I’ve always been intrigued with Native American Spirituality. This is a short read with concise, simple, and powerful thoughts. Walk with Spirit is an awesome book. I keep it handy for a refresher among other readings. Ah ho!

Pseudo Dionysius: The Complete Works (Classics of Western Spirituality) There are few figures in the history of Western Spirituality who are more enigmatic than the fifth or sixth-century writer known as the Pseudo-Dionysius. The real identity of the person who chose to write under the pseudonym of Dionysius the Areopagite is unknown. Even the exact dates of his writings have never been determined. Moreover the texts themselves, though relatively short, are at points seemingly impenetrable and have mystified readers over the centuries. Yet the influence of this shadowy figure on broad range of mystical writers from the early middle ages on is readily discernible. His formulation of a method of negative theology that stresses the impotence of humans’ attempt to penetrate the “cloud of unknowing” is famous as is his meditation on the divine names.

Despite his influence, relatively few attempts have been made to translate the entire corpus of his written into English. Here in one volume are collected all of the Pseudo-Dionysius’ works. Each has been translated from the Migne edition, with reference to the forthcoming G ttingen critical edition of A.M. Ritter, G. Heil, and B. Suchla.

To present these works to the English-speaking public, an outstanding team of six research scholars has been assembled. The lucid translation of Colm Luibheid has been augmented by Paul Rorem’s notes and textual collaboration. The reader is presented a rich and varied examination of the main themes of Dionysian spirituality by Ren Roques, an incisive discussion of the original questions of the authenticity and alleged heresies in the Dionysian corpus by Jaroslav Pelikan, a comprehensive tracing Dionysius’ influence on medieval authors by Jean Leclercq, and a survey by Karlfried Froehlich of the reception given the corpus by Humanists and sixteenth-century Reformers.
Customer Review: Incredible!
if you are trained in zen, i would most warmly reccommend that you read “the divine names” (the first book in this compilation)… if not, you will get tied up in knots. it is quite wonderful. the mystical theology is short and will lead you to silence. as a work of mind the divine names may be the greatest expression of zen logic in the western hemisphere. quite simply… stunning.
