Review:

In No Ordinary Time, Jan Phillips has packed a lifetime of AHAs - thoughts that suddenly give us clarity about ourselves and other selves, the world around us. You will keep sentences in your mind, on your bulletin board, in your pocket and in your heart. --Gloria Steinem

Jan Phillips weaves an intriguing and inspiring tapestry synthesizing the wisdom embodied in an ancient tradition with the spiritual awaking engaging sojourners of the 21st century. This book provides a creative synthesis from monastery to market-place, from monastic time to the sacredness of every day, and every hour therein. Jan Phillips has provided an inspiring resource for our time. --Diarmuid O'Murchu

No Ordinary Time is no ordinary book--prayer, profundity, tradition, and future all come together here in this excellent book--and well written besides! --Richard Rohr, OFM
