In Prayers in the Dark, Fr. Lawrence Farley paraphrases the Book of Lamentations and interprets each passage, following it with a meditation on human suffering—not to explain it but to point a way forward into hope. In the words of the sacred text, we find assurance that we are not unique in our suffering and that the way home to the Kingdom brings pain as well as joy.

In A Year in the Company of Angels: A Pilgrim on Spruce Island, author Anthony Linderman presents true tales from his long pilgrimage to the monastic world of St. Michael’s Skete in Alaska. In these stories he shares in the daily lives of the monks and nuns—subsistence fishing with the fathers in the gulf, splitting winter wood supplies for the sisterhood, and hiking through the evergreen woods to holy sites from the heights of Mount St. Herman to the beach of Monk’s Lagoon. Each act is woven into the liturgical tapestry of their monastic life, and the author discovers that his best loved literary, musical, and pop-culture references all find their proper place in this microcosm. His book is a jubilant glimpse of the intimate, sanctifying relationship that this wild edge of the world shares with the entire cosmos.
