In the Company of Women

Fiction

“Comparatively scant are the details in the Gospels of the everyday life that surrounded Jesus and the world in which he was immersed. Anderson uses her theologically educated and prayerful imagination to tease out a gripping narrative of what it might have been like to be among the women who went about in the company of Jesus. Doing so, she deepens astonishment for the Christian believer ‘that the Word became flesh and pitched his tent among us.’”

The Monkhood of All Believers

Christian Living

“I often tell guests, or curious visitors, at our monastery that one of the things a monastery is good for is that it puts on display, as an evangelizing word, the ingredients of any serious Christian life. Peters’s book affirms this in systematic detail, linking key texts from the tradition of monastic life with an invitation to contemporary Christians to let those insights mark them. It crosses denominational divides as it does so. This book meets the contemporary interest in monasticism, an ancient tradition still very much alive.”
