Sisters in Arms: Catholic Nuns Through Two Millennia
by Jo Ann Kay McNamara I include this on the medieval page because this is such an outstanding history of the beginning, evolution through centuries, and survival, of women's religious communities. And Ms. McNamara covers the Middle Ages thoroughly. This book is actually so interesting that it is fun reading. It is educational in spite of itself. |

Plain and Simple: A Woman's Journey to the Amish by Sue Bender Ms. Bender surprised friends and family one day by announcing that she had arranged to live with an Amish family for several months. She surprised herself with what she found, and how it affected her future. It's a book that offers interesting insight into the daily life and beliefs of the Amish, but even more it's a book that records one persons spiritual coming of age. Really moving reading. I have given this one as a gift. |

Visions of God: Four Medieval Mystics and Their Writings by Karen Armstrong Better than the actual writings, which are themselves a fascinating journey into the medieval experience and popular belief, is Ms. Armstrong's summaries of the lives and philosophies she highlights. I wish there were more than four!. |
