Every monastery exudes the scent of holiness, but women's monasteries have their own special flavor. Join Constantina Palmer as she makes frequent pilgrimages to a women's monastery in Greece and absorbs the nuns' particular approach to their spiritual life. If you're a woman who's read of Mount Athos and longed to partake of its grace-filled atmosphere, this book is for you. Men who wish to understand how women's spirituality differs from their own will find it a fascinating listen as well.

I was moved many times while listening to Christina Palmer’s experiences working among the nuns and sharing the many stories of the lives of the nuns. The narrator’s humility and gentle quietness resonated wonderfully with the lives of the nuns themselves. I am grateful that she took the time to record her experiences.

A beautiful experience

I began this just before visiting the Greek women's monastery near me and helped me get into the mind set of visiting a monastery. Such a beautiful witness to the life of the church and all the blessings in the struggle of life.

Wonderful witness to the beauty that is Orthodoxy
