Description

Fascinated by this “noonday demon”, so familiar to those in the early and medieval Church, Norris knew she must restore this forgotten but important concept to the modern world’s vernacular.

An examination of acedia in the light of psychology, spirituality, the healing powers of religious practice, and Norris’s own experience, Acedia & Me is both intimate and historically sweeping, brimming with exasperation and reverence, sometimes funny, often provocative, and always insightful.

The extraordinary New York Times bestselling masterpiece from “one of the most eloquent yet earthbound spiritual writers of our time” San Francisco Chronicle.

This title has been compiled by the Rabbit Room Press. You can see the full collection we carry here.
