Stalking the Divine, by Kristin Ohlson

Pick of the Week: Stalking the Devine, by Kristin Ohlson. This is a fascinating amalgam of the spiritual journey of the author and her generation coupled with a history of the Poor Clares, an organization of contemplative nuns. The story shows the stark contrast between the conditional faith of the modern era and the dedicated stoicism of the recent past. Ms. Ohlson is assiduous in her research and cogent in her analysis. Her interviews with the nuns are described with sympathetic detail. This is a fascinating read, not just for what it tells us about the Poor Clares, or about Kristin Ohlson, but what it reveals about a life of faith in the 21st century.
