The Cloister Walk by Kathleen Norris
4.0
I’ve always been drawn to the monastic way of life, if I’m honest, so I was likewise drawn to this book. I appreciated being able to look into the life of the Benedictines that Kathleen Norris spent much time with, their way of life which is something I myself aspire to in their focus on prayer, simplicity, the reading of the Scriptures and such.
Although a small handful of chapters were of less interest to me, for the rest of this book I would rate it four stars.
Furthermore, the author has such a profound way of “noticing” in the many details of every day life, a noticing that led her to see God at work and receive wisdom from life’s happening and those around her that is greatly refreshing.
I finished this book praying that I too may learn to “notice” in this way, that God may use it for my good and the good of others to His glory.
