Summary: Find Internal Peace by Following Holy Tradition
Comment: With our hectic lives it seems impossible to slow down, simplify, and deepen our spiritual relation with God. Author Paula Huston has been here with all the rest of us, but she has found, through her personal experiences, that you can move to a simpler, holier life without moving to a monastery and completely eschewing the modern world. Paula invites us to travel with her along her journey as she shares her experiences successes and shortcomings. She models her philosophy on some of the most prominent saints of the early Christian church including some of my favorites, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Ignatius, and St. Benedict. As she turned to these people she tried to practice the things that allowed them their holy walk with God. Some of the things she discusses include the need for and ability to obtain solitude, silence, asceticism, meditation and other practices of a simple life. Although she does not word it that way, it becomes obvious that part of what she is talking about is the ability to break free from the things that enslave us and keep us in such a state that we can't even keep our minds quiet for all the thoughts and worries that invade it.
Choosing to lead a simpler life so you can have a more peaceful, more holy life, may sound like an extreme sacrifice, but what is the price that you put on internal peace? Standing on the other side after having made these changes Paula finds it hard to understand why anyone would not do the same. Paula Huston is a role model for those who want to simplify their lives and clearly demonstrates that this path is available to anyone who wants to travel it. "The Holy Way" is a highly recommended book for any audience.
