On a typical day, the average mother spends sixty-six minutes driving, traveling a total of twenty-nine miles during five separate trips. My Monastery Is a Minivan - an inspiring book that reminds us how moments of grace, joy, and spiritual insight can reveal themselves even in the carpool lane - pays homage to these moments. Author Denise Roy shares some of her most profound spiritual moments in this collection of short, personal narratives. Through these engaging stories she shows that there are as many opportunities for enlightenment in the daily rush of family life as there are in the sealed-off sanctuary of a monastery. Roy engages readers by showing that an enriching spiritual life is available to everyone - not just priests, monks and philosophers. Through Roy's eyes the ordinary takes on extraordinary meaning. From her example, readers can learn to recognize the moments of grace in their own lives and to appreciate the spiritual meaning of everyday moments.
