Poustinia -- The modern spiritual classic for those seeking the open heart and listening soul of a silent contemplation. Poustinia, a Russian word, means 'desert', a place to meet Christ in silence, solitude and prayer. Catherine Doherty combines her insights into the great spiritual traditions of the Russian Church with her very personal experience of life with Christ. Men and women who desire communion with God can discover how the poustinia powerfully fulfills their yearning. Readers are invited to leave the noise and harried pace of daily life to enter a place of silence and solitude. Catherine writes from her own experience with refreshing and startling Christian authenticity and a strong personal sense of spiritual authority. Catherine emphasizes 'poustinia of the heart,' an interiorized poustinia, a silent chamber carried always and everywhere in which to contemplate God within. Learn how our desert can be in the marketplace, in the midst of countless conferences, traffic jams, bus trips--or a hospital ward. Written by one who knows by experience, Poustinia brings consolation with its vision of a personal desert that can bloom in simple, profound prayer. A timeless best-seller, published in 16 foreign editions around the world, the experience of poustinia has become a worldwide phenomenon following its publicity through this popular book.

The gospel without compromise

Catherine Doherty believed that stories help us to understand the deep truths about life, because they are closer to life than mere ideas . Gathered here are three types of parables, or stories that reveal the mysterious presence of God in the persons and events. In her Pilgrim Stories, Catherine brings us around the fireside of her childhood home in the Russia of old, where she sat wide-eyed at the feet of holy pilgrims who had knocked on her parents door asking for food and shelter on their way to and from shrines. In her Blue Door Stories , Catherine shows how our very ordinary life witnesses to Christ and changes the world through this witnessing, through stories of faith-building incidents from her years as a pioneer of the lay apostolate. Finally, her How Stories show us the fruits of Catherine s powerful imagination, brought forth in parables which symbolize the eternal truths of the spiritual life.
