This is a thoughtfully selected collection of women's spiritual writings from the twelfth century to the present. Love of God and service to humankind provide a thematic unity that ties together such disparate styles of religious life as those of Hildegard of Bingen, Teresa of Avila and Simone Weil. Should a reader be searching for a deeper understanding of the life of contemplation in its relation to the life of action, this brief compendium could well become a constant companion.
