We publish short books written, edited and translated by sisters, community friends and associates, and others whose proposals and manuscripts we have accepted.

Our authors offer insights into different aspects of the contemplative life which the community aims to live and share.

If you are interested in becoming one of our authors, please see the Information for Authors page.

The role of a writer is not
to say what we all can say,
but what we are unable to say.
