Joan Chittister, has been one of
America's key visionary spiritual voices for more than thirty
years. In the Heart of the Temple
brings together for the first time her most powerful, influential, and
celebrated writings. Passionate and provocative, this
collection
combines the spiritual practices of the Rule of St. Benedict with the
contemporary struggle for social justice, feminism and ecology.
Chittister addresses today's most pressing moral, political, economic,
enviromental, and spiritual questions, and challenges individuals of
every religious and political persuasion to unite in a new and bold
vision through which we learn to honor the earth, its people, and all
of life. In the Heart
of the Temple is Joan Chittister's prophetic manifesto for
the preservation of our
world!
