Deeper Look

I was given this book for my birthday last year. Now I can not imagine starting my day without it. I've given it as gifts, no one has yet shown disappointment. The words of wisdom take my Spiritual journey deeper, help spark things I would/could not have thought of. These women have left footprints for me to follow and keys to unlock doors to my soul. A great read if you are ready or just willing to look a little deeper.

Can't Get Enough of a Good Thing

This re-released compilation of medieval women mystic contemplations is filled with the kindness and generous living that every heart finds itself thirsty for. I have worn my first copy into a shredded mess of loose pages and bent covers. This collection continues to speak to the reader, inspiring and digging into one's soul anew with every reading. Butcher's brilliant translation makes these words of wisdom timeless, relevant, and touching. "A Little Daily Wisdom" never ceases to provide a deeper understanding of the romance available to every woman's heart through the Love of Christ.

Timeless Treasure

Carmen Butcher's delightful translations inspire again! This exquisite collection of writings by medieval women mystics withstands the test of time. These moving voices from the past weave a pattern of eternal truths that keep the heart restful, hopeful, waiting, and feasting on an unchanging God. It is daily bread. I highly recommend this lovely book!
