From the back cover of the book: “Brenda Keller has spent years visiting monasteries and learning from those who have dedicated their whole lives to God. A Monk in High Heels: Living the Cloistered Life Outside the Monastery is an insightful, relatable, and delightful chronicle of her journey into the heart of monasticism. With lyrical wisdom and wickedly funny wit, she shares the challenges of embracing spiritual life while living fully in the secular world.”
