40 Day Journey with Kathleen Norris
edited by Kathryn Haueisen
$12.99 Paperback

Kathleen Norris is the bestselling author of Dakota, The Cloister Walk, and Amazing Grace. A woman with profound insights, Norris wisely grounds individual faith, spirituality, and experience in the many communities within which we live. Much of her writing has been influenced by her experiences as an oblate in the Benedictine community. Each of the forty chapters in 40 Day Journey with Kathleen Norris includes a selected writing from her work along with one or more scripture selections from the Bible.

Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith
by Kathleen Norris
$15.00 Paperback

Struggling to return to the Christian church after many years away, Kathleen Norris found it was the language of Christianity that most distanced her from faith. Words like "judgment," "faith," "dogma," "salvation," "sinner"—even "Christ"— had become so abstract that she had to wrestle with them and make them her own before they could confer their blessings and their grace. Blending history, theology, storytelling, etymology, and memoir, Norris uses these words as a starting point for reflection, and offers believers and doubters alike an illuminating perspective on how we can embrace ancient traditions and find faith in the contemporary world.

The Cloister Walk
by Kathleen Norris
$15.00 Paperback

After spending two extended residences at a Benedictine monastery, Kathleen Norris takes readers through one liturgical year – its rituals, prayers and daily activities. Through her accessible prose, a seemingly archaic world becomes immediate, accessible, and relevant to people of all faiths. A New York Times bestseller.

Dakota: A Spiritual Geography
by Kathleen Norris
$13.95 Paperback

Enamored with her native state of South Dakota, Kathleen Norris offers a timeless tribute to a place in the American landscape that is at once desolate and sublime, harsh and forgiving, steeped in history and myth. Dakota: A Spiritual Geography examines how life continually renews itself with the assurance that wherever we go, we chart our own spiritual geography.

Little Girls in Church
by Kathleen Norris
$12.95 Paperback

A collection of poems characterized by generosity and compassion, Little Girls in Church resonates with Kathleen Norris’ relationship with the prairie, her persistent and delighted spiritual questioning, her respectful identification with other women both ordinary and extraordinary and her joy in stories.

The Virgin of Bennington
by Kathleen Norris
$13.00 Paperback

Shy and sheltered as a young woman, Kathleen Norris wasn't prepared for the sex, drugs, and bohemianism of Bennington College in the late 1960s when she moved to New York City after graduation. This account of the making of a young writer will resonate with anyone who has stumbled bravely into a bigger world and found the poetry that lurks on rooftops and in railroad apartments — and with anyone who has enjoyed the blessings of inspiring teachers and great friends.
