The wait is over!

The Monastic Heart and the Future of the Church: Recovering the Inner Kingdom in an Age of Fragmentation is now available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook through Amazon and booksellers around the world.


One unexpected delight has been learning that the monks at Holy Transfiguration Monastery have begun reading it aloud in the refectory. I have also received a completely unverified report that it has significantly improved the quality of everyone’s post-lunch nap. While I cannot officially endorse the book as a sleep aid, I am grateful if it contributes to both contemplation and a well-deserved midday rest.


On a more serious note, I am deeply thankful for all of your encouragement, prayers, and support over these many months. My hope is simply that these pages lead readers more deeply into the mystery of Christ and the hidden kingdom within the heart.


If you’ve been waiting for the official release, the book is now available wherever books are sold.


May it be a small companion on the journey toward the One who alone satisfies every human heart.

I experienced the same way. When I first got the ebook July 25th and I contemplated on it and is helping me rest, sleep and give me peace. I got the book yesterday and I am joyful to reflect on the presence of God and also as a daily companion.
