A Monk's Alphabet is a daring and unique experiment in spiritual writing. It offers not only pointers for people who are searching for God but also irresistible, intelligent entertainment. In an engaging series of reflections, Jeremy Driscoll shares the riches of the monastic life and the way of being in the world which that life suggests for all of us. His colourful, restless imagination embraces not only the familiar spiritual practices of prayer and contemplation but ranges from the memory of an aeroplane flying overhead to ladybugs and dogs, the Pacific Ocean, hand writing, shooting stars, music, and the meeting of friends and strangers. With his natural relish for the good things for creation, and his piercing longing for God, Jeremy Driscoll finds reasons for celebration and thankfulness in the midst of a crumbling world.
