We Are All One: Unity, Community and Commitment to Each Other

by Joan D. Chittister

This simple little book, says Joan Chittister, touches on four elements of mindfulness that account for all the angst in our society right now moral maturity, spiritual witness, personal greatness, and universal kinship. These are the things that determine whether we go through life as part of its solution or part of the weight on its progress. These powerful meditations, filled with wisdom gained from spiritual leaders who have inspired Sister Joan s own thought, will inspire your own prayer and group sharing, leading you to the simple but profound We are all one.

[Margaret D'Anieri · Rating 4 out of 5]

I find Chittister’s format of a few pages of connected prose followed by snippets connected to the chapter theme annoying at times, but the content is worth it. I would say this book is more about spiritual maturity than anything else. Occasionally tinged with privilege. But pithy too: “Life is a ripening process. Like avocados, we look a lot better on the outside than we’ve become on the inside.”
