An Edith Stein Daybook: To Live at the Hand of the Lord Chosen from Edith Stein's published and unpublished writings by Maria Amata Neyer and translated by Susanne Batzdorff |
|
|
This book is intended to give the modern reader guidance and instruction for every day of the year through the words of Edith Stein. These pages are not meant for cursory reading; every sentence needs to be thoughtfully perused, prayerfully considered. Only then will it yield nourishment and inspiration for the inner path and lead to that which Edith Stein wanted above all to teach: to live at the hand of the Lord. The texts for meditation span a period of nearly 25 years in her life: the youthful atheist thinks about her life and the alarming events of her time; the mature, professionally active woman struggles with themes of self-discovery and the spiritual shaping of the human being; the Christian philosopher attempts to rise to the meaning of existence; finally, the great contemplative gives advice for introspection and serenity. ISBN 0-87243-206-8 $10.95 See page 24 for another Edith Stein title |

Descent into Light: A Mystical Journey by Dorothy Fielding |
|
|
This must be one of the most remarkable books of spiritual writing to appear in some time. Born into a London working-class family, Dorothy Fielding has had to contend since her birth with a crippling disability. Almost totally inactive and confined to her house, she developed, while unaware of the Christian mystical tradition, an intense prayer life. In this she experienced a series of remarkable visions or "prayer pictures," as she learned to call them, after being told that they fitted into the tradition of spirituality developed by St. Ignatius Loyola. "An astounding and extraordinary prayer life. . . an unusual book, off the beaten path, but in our out-of-joint times is subtly hopeful." Sisters Today ISBN 0-87243-216-5 $10.95 |
