Description - The Holy Way by Paula Huston
Based on the practices of saints and personal reflection, this guide provides strategies for achieving spiritual simplicity. Drawing on the powerful histories of the saints and personal experience, author Paula Huston, a professor, wife, and mother, offers practical guidance to pursuing and achieving spiritual simplicity in a chaotic world. In The Holy Way, Huston examines a variety of spiritual practices in the Christian tradition that lead to a simpler life. Each chapter introduces a different spiritual practice, including solitude, purity, and generosity, and explores it through historical perspectives and Huston's compelling personal reflections. From Saint Anthony's chosen life of solitude to Saint Catherine of Siena's strength of conviction, Huston tells stories of courageous faith that exemplify the blessed and transformative power of being alone with God. Although based on Christian philosophies, Huston's strategies are applicable to people of all faiths.
"A wonderful synthesis of self-reflection and monastic learning, of conscience and character formation, The Holy Way is simply one of the best applications of the lives of the saints to contemporary experience that I have ever read." --Robert Inchausti, author, Thomas Merton's American Prophecy "Spirituality written with the grace and personal vividness of a novelist, with down-to-earth practicality. This book will give solace and guidance to those who have felt the interior call to simplicity, the intense gravitational pull of the God within." --Bruno Barnhart, Camaldolese monk and author, Second Simplicity
