Catherine de Hueck Doherty (1896-1985), a Russian-born aristocrat who has recently been proposed for canonization, emigrated to North America, dedicated her life to promoting "the gospel without compromise." Her vision combined a deep spirituality with a commitment to social justice. One of her early projects was the Harlem-based Friendship House, which attracted a young Thomas Merton. Later, with her second husband, Eddie Doherty, she established Madonna House in Combermere, Ontario. Though Roman Catholic, Catherine drew on her Russian roots and helped popularize the concept of Poustinia (the Russian word for desert)a place where a person meets God through solitude, prayer, and fasting. These writings, drawn from 25 books, highlight her distinctive spirituality, with its emphasis on the presence of God, the practice of prayer, a love for the church, and a deep apprehension of the social dimension of the gospel.

The earth is weeping...How can we heal it? The heavy treads of our modern machinery pound the earth into submission--our society has become expert at efficiently taking from the earth, but what do we give the earth in return? Is this the proper stewardship of the earth that God has entrusted us with? * Concerns are growing about genetically engineered "superfood" and harmful pesticide use. * The current panic over "Mad Cow" and "Foot and Mouth" diseases are a chilling example of the price which we may all pay for our livestock being fed with the cheapest feed instead of what is proper and nutritious. In this remarkably prophetic work, Catherine Doherty helps shed some light on these important issues, with practical, down-to-earth guidance for farmers everywhere--whether you are a backyard gardener or industry professional.

Recent events in world history are showing that cracks are beginning to form in our modern economic, political, and technological world. In the midst of this, people of all kinds--be they powerful rulers of nations, or the humble poor on the street corner--are beginning to awake to the powerful spirituality that has been hidden just below the surface of their daily lives. Some are filing into churches in droves, while others are muttering quiet prayers as they lie in bed--but all are hungering for answers: How can we find security? Where is all of this leading us? In this important book compiled from writings of Catherine Doherty, she speaks straight from the heart with wisdom and clarity about the problems facing us in the modern world. A Russian refugee who 'made good' and then gave up everything to serve the poor of America, Catherine has unique and startling insight into the stark realities of the life of faith, from the very rich to the very poor. The answers my surprise us by their simplicity--but they must begin in ourselves and be incarnated in our own lives before we can expect them to take root and change the world. There is concrete help within these pages, and solutions which will help us all to make an unequivocal choice to live the gospel--without compromise!--in our lives.

In Sobornost, the Russian word for "unity," you'll learn how your heart can be softened and opened to the transforming reality of the Holy Trinity dwelling within you. Catherine guides us along the pathway that takes us home, to God's house, into the grace intimacy of eternal belonging; to a place that is hard to get to, yet one that lives within and beyond the ever-present confusion, fear and loneliness of our daily existence. She takes us by the hand, becomes our companion on the ultimate journey--into an experience of the mysterious depths of intimacy in, through, and with God. Here we rediscover the final unity in the wellspring of compassion that flows from divine Persons, one in love, a union of Lover, Beloved, and Love --Father, Son and Spirit. The unselfish life is reclaimed, one that discovers abundant life with God and thus within the soul, within nature, within interpersonal relations, within the cosmos. "Sparks' fly from the pages, igniting a response in the heart of one open to the charism of such a spiritual person as the author. An inspirational spiritual work much needed today." Father George Maloney, "It is a very satisfying experience to read any of Catherine's books, and this is her best." - Our Sunday Visitor
