Book Description

October 2004
So often in the rush and bustle of our busyness, we miss the best of life----the sights and sounds and silences that can breathe new meaning into our experience of the world. In this collection of soul-filling meditations and stunning photographs, the Monks of New Skete once again reach out and reawaken the warmest places of our hearts, offering profound but simple lessons in the art of living well. "A quiet call stirs the depths of who we are: Rise Up! Come then and rise up---with laughter and from sorrow, with good reading and with music. From doing nothing to catching the power of a breaking wave."

Every awe-inspiring page of this book will give you fresh glimpses of the treasures of hope hidden in our daily lives. With their gentle guidance, the Monks of New Skete offer new strategies for turning sadness into meaning, loneliness into fulfillment, alienations into a renewed sense of belonging in this wondrous world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful for meditation & reflection, December 27, 2005
This review is from: Rise Up with a Listening Heart: Reflecting and Meditating with the Monks of New Skete (Hardcover)
The photos accompanying each reflection are beautiful. The reflections themselves are short and meaningful. Each provides wonderful material for a period of silence and thoughtfulness. I find that spending time reflecting on a single passage before starting my day is an incredible way to stay more awake and conscious throughout the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous and Thought provoking, June 25, 2009
This review is from: Rise Up with a Listening Heart: Reflecting and Meditating with the Monks of New Skete (Hardcover)
I have been using this beautiful book to begin my knitting sessions. Each photo and the text inspire my thoughts. I keep the book propped open in front of me as I work. As a designer, this sort of meditation enables my creativity in a wondrous fashion. I recommend it to anyone who needs a boost in down times or good times that is quick to read, but lasting in meaning.
