Catholic Mom Fall 2024 Book Club with Julianne Stanz: Week 3

Reading along, not required, to enjoy learning more about Celtic Spirituality with author Julianne Stanz, author of Braving the Thin Places: Celtic Wisdom to Create a Space for Grace (Loyola Press). This week, author Julianne Stanz and I began the conversation by exploring the concept of anam cara, or "soul friend."
