gretchini's review
Audiobook-
A more difficult read. Definitely for people who are already well on their faith journey and have been practicing the prayer of silence.

davidpaige's review against another edition
2.0
I wondered at times how I was going to get through this book. The first couple of chapters were okay, and then there was a very long dry spell until chapter 36. As I was listening to this book, there were many times when I would think back over what I just heard, and I couldn't remember a word of it. Sometimes I would even go back to listen to it again.
Chapter 36 was a bright spot. It talked about her setting up her monastery in 1561-1562. I don't know why it was such a concern that the monastery did not have revenue, or even what it means to have revenue. Does that mean they get money from the church? Or that they get money and give it to the church? It did mean that the sisters were living on alms, in poverty.
I have to give this book two stars.
