â€œAn invitation to share, if briefly, in the contemplative spirit of monastic life.â€â€•National Geographic Traveler
For centuries monasteries have been places of solitude and retreat. Many monasteries and convents offer hospitality to those seeking a quiet place and a time of purposeful rest, reflection, and renewal.

Each chapter includes contact information, directions by car and by public transportation, accommodations offered, meals provided, charges, each placeâ€™s history and description, nearby points of interest, and special notes; illustrations and a helpful index round out the book. Locations range from Midtown Manhattan to the Pacific Coast, Chicago to Floridaâ€™s orange groves. The cost of these lodgings is surprisingly lowâ€• ideal for budget travelers. The monasteries and convents featured span a spectrum of Christian traditions, yet each is open to pilgrims of any faith. 30 black-and-white illustrations
