Kris Ohlson, author of Stalking the Divine: Contemplating Faith with the Poor Clares sent me an email with the lovely review of her book. The review appeared in the January 14, 2005 issue of the Catholic Chronicle, the free online news sponsored by the Catholic Chronicle – Catholic Newspaper for the Toledo Diocese and Beyond.
In a review in Commonweal, Lawrence S. Cunningham, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame noted, “I have more than once observed in these pages that some of the finest contemporary spiritual writing comes from women, who bring a certain critical edge to their work, along with a deep appreciation for the Catholic tradition. I am thinking of writers like Kathleen Norris, Patricia Hampl, Annie Dillard and the late Denise Levertov. To that number I would like to add Kristin Ohlson, who has given us a powerful account of the faith of the Poor Clares her own honest search to connect to that faith.”
Congratulations to the Catholic Chronicle for introducing its readers Stalking the Divine and to Kathleen Norris, Patricia Hampl, Annie Dillard, Denise Levertov and Kristin Ohlson for providing us with literary works for individual reflection and parish reading group discussion.
