From
the Age of Faith comes this work of spiritual rediscovery, casting light
on six women mystics who teach us that the mystical experience of God is
inexhaustible. From
Clare of Assisi in the Middle Ages to Therese of Lisieux in the late
nineteenth century, Flinders’s compelling and refreshingly informal
portraits reveal a common foundation of conviction, courage, and serenity
in the lives of these great European Catholic mystics. Their distinctly
female voices enrich their writings on the experience of the inner world,
the nourishing role of friendship and community in our lives, and on
finding our true work. At its heart, Enduring Grace is a living testament to how we can make peace with sorrow and disappointment and bring joy and transcendence into our lives.”
