Halfway to Heaven, Volume 186: The Hidden Life of the CarthusiansFounded 900 years ago by St. Bruno, the Carthusians are the most completely enclosed religious order in the Catholic Church. Living alone and in silence in almost perpetual prayer, the monks are the spiritual heirs to the early Christians, the Desert Fathers. As the only order 'never to have been reformed because never deformed', the Carthusians have been described as 'the most precious jewel in the Church's crown'. There is a Carthusian motto: 'To

Founded 900 years ago by St. Bruno, the Carthusians are the most completely enclosed religious order in the Catholic Church. Living alone and in silence in almost perpetual prayer, the monks are the spiritual heirs to the early Christians, the Desert Fathers. As the only order 'never to have been reformed because never deformed', the Carthusians have been described as 'the most precious jewel in the Church's crown'. There is a Carthusian motto: 'To make saints, not to publicise them'. Indeed because they shut themselves away from the world and shun all publicity, little is known about these monks, even among other religious orders. In this updated edition of a classic book, which includes new material, Robin Bruce Lockhart remedies the gap in our knowledge--without destroying the mystery of the order. Halfway to Heaven is still the most comprehensive book ever written about the Carthusians. It is also an awesome source of inspiration in the art of contemplation and prayer.

Comfortable and good value
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
The material of this cotton/linen blend kaftan is light and breathable. The sleeves are just the right length for me. The fit around my chest is a bit tight, but still it’s comfortable to wear so long as I don’t reach up for something. FYI, I have a 52-inch chest and ordered a size XXL (the largest available); this should allow others to judge how the size runs. I wore it to dinner with some Moroccan co-workers who dressed in similar garments; they were impressed, and complimented on how nice it looked on me. I told them that one day I’d surprise them with such a garment, and I definitely did just that. The lower 2 buttons work great, but the one around the collar has a very tight loop which makes it difficult to button and unbutton. I can’t use that button anyway because the collar is too small for my neck. The craftsmanship is top notch according to my friends. I didn’t mention that I got this for free, and let them know the Amazon price. They agreed with me that this was a good value.

For the L*ve of the Game...
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large, Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
When I ordered this beautiful Thobe I noticed along with its minimalistic nature in looks that it took on, was the low price point... these dress garments usually run me a pretty penny in pastimes. It is soft, breathable & comfortable with a slender-like fit, all while being made of cotton and linen, which can be worn in multiple seasons... I ordered the black for a test run, and I am always on the look-out for (linen-cotton) around the clock (seasons)! And I am very pleased to report that I need additional colors because the quality of this garment is off the hook... and I want them all on MY hook! "WE WINN"

Fits great and works well in the hot summers - May order more in the future in other colors
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Looks and feels great - very breathable in the hot summers with the Cotton and Linen blend. It felt a little rough at first but after washing it it feels wonderful (and it did not shrink!). It fit well and the size is true to what the table shows. It felt a little long at first but I got used to it very quickly. It's comfortable when going outside when it's 80+ F outside. This seems like a quality product and I hope it will last for years to come. Within the next few months of summer, if I really like after wearing it a few times I might order some other colors!
