40-Day Journey with Joan Chittister introduces Joan Chittister. She is a Benedictine nun who lives in Erie, Pennsylvania and is best known for her spiritual writing and her powerful actions for peace and justice.

The 40-Day Journey series invites readers to take a personal spiritual journey with a Christian leader from the past or present.

This volume begins with a short introduction to the life of the Chittister and then offers forty chapters of two pages in length, each of which includes a reading from her writings, scripture selections from the Bible, a journal-writing exercise, and a prayer. This book is a rich resource for personal meditation or small group discussion anytime, but is especially valuable during Lent.
