"As an agnostic I found myself surprisingly moved after reading about this former monks encounters with a world unknown. Highly recommend for anyone looking at intelligent self-help books and the secular upsides of meditation..."
— Victoria (4 out of 5 stars)
“In this small book, bestselling author Moore makes a simple point: the monastic life offers lessons that, once learned, will enhance the spiritual dimension of daily life...This is not a book to read over from cover to cover; it is a book to carry around and savor in moments of individual meditation.”
— Publishers Weekly“Moore’s lyrical prose enriches, guides, and enlightens readers seeking the sacred in the ordinary. Highly recommended.”
— Library Journal" Love this work. Particularly enjoyed listening to the audio format while driving to and from pastoral calls at the hospital in Idaho Falls. "
