Description
In Illuminating the Way, Christine Valters Paintner invites readers to journey inward with twelve great Christian monks and mystics—from Miriam and Benedict to Hildegard of Bingen, Dorothy Day, and Thomas Merton. Each chapter explores a unique archetype—such as the inner sage or visionary—and includes rich reflections, guided meditations, poems, and full‑colour artwork by Marcy Hall. Through scripture passages, evocative practices, and creative exercises, Paintner guides readers toward self‑knowledge and a deeper encounter with God.
