This book popped up in one of my social media feeds, and I’m sure you’re not surprised I ordered it right away. The title is taken from a beautiful quote for St. Francis of Assisi: “The world is my cloister, my body is my cell, and my soul is the hermit within.”
However…
It wasn’t until the book arrived that I realized the author is John Michael Talbot, who is a big-shot Catholic musician…. and who founded a monastic community in Arkansas, not far from where my brother lives! All that made me even more excited about delving into it this month.
What’s on your nightstand?
