"In whatever place you live, do not easily leave it."
- Abba Anthony, 3rd century AD
"Without passing your own door, you can know the world. Without looking through the window, you can see the road to heaven. The farther you go, the less you know."
- Lao-tzu, 7th century BC
Deep down in our bones, we seem to know that rapid change and constant motion are hazards to our spiritual health. Humans long for the simplicity of a life that blossoms into its fullness by becoming rooted in a place.
For the Christian tradition, the heart'strue home is a life rooted in the love of God. True peace is possible when our spirits are stilled and our feet are planted - and when we get this stability of heart deep down inside of us, real growth begins tohappen.
The Wisdom of Stabilityspeaks to each of us who seek an honest path of Christian transformation. A leader of the new monastic movement, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove shows how you can:
"Stability may be the virtue that 21st-century Christians most ignore - and the virtue we are most called to embrace. This fine book will inspire you to look at your own life, asking 'Where am I restless? Where might God be calling me to be rooted, to stay put?'"
- Lauren Winner, author of Mudhouse Sabbath and Girl Meets God
"Jonathan speaks out like the prophets of old, and calls us into an alternative lifestyle."
- Tony Campolo, Professor Emeritus, Eastern University

Testimonials
We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
