The lovely Claire over at A Catholic Woman's Place has posted a review of The Artist's Rule: Nurturing Your Creative Soul through Monastic Wisdom and has some really wonderful things to say. Here is an excerpt:
It is one of the best books I have read in the past decade, one of these works which is a seeker's and a blogger's dream: it is filled with idea of reflections, meditations, and quotes that trigger self-exploration and self-understanding.
I do not want to tell you all that is inside this book. I would like you to be surprised and enchanted by all that this book contains — of wisdom, of kindness. A sort of silence comes out of it to invite you to enter it. It is an inspiring book. You will find it encouraging. Your inner child, your inner monk, your inner artist, and your inner mystic will be grateful to you for spending the time to discover all that you thought you were not.
