Bookmarks: Women Spiritual Authors

  • Online or In-Person at Benet House Retreat Center 2200 88th Avenue West Rock Island, IL, 61201 United States (map)

There are so many books and authors to choose from! This Bookmarks series focuses on the writings of women spiritual authors both contemporary and from our rich Christian past. Think about Sr. Joan Chittister, Anne Lamott, Pema Chödrön, Sue Monk Kidd, Barbara Brown Taylor, or Evelyn Underhill, the women mystics (Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Teresa de Avila), and many more that the group will surface. The group will determine books. Reading, reflecting, and discussing these authors will help you expand your love of God and guide you along your spiritual journey.
