The Cloistered Heart (Paperback)

The Cloistered Heart is an intensely personal story of one woman's journey toward deepening love of God. Along the way, the author discovers a monastery open to those who live and work in the midst of the world. Shuman shares her attraction to this interior cloister; as well as her struggles to give her life more fully to Christ. "A beautiful, inspiring account of a movement of contemplative renewal.... I recommend it to lay contemplatives, but also as a gift for consecrated religious who need to know how Jesus is drawing their sisters and brothers living in the world." - Ronda Chervin, Ph.D, author of numerous Catholic books and articles
