A Garden Enclosed: Practical Studies in Religious Life

First published in 1907, A Garden Enclosed is a hidden gem of Anglican spirituality-an intimate and practical guide to the inner life written by Sister Frances Anna, writing anonymously as "A Sister of The Community of St. Mary." This community was the first Anglican religious order founded in America. With the gentle authority of lived experience, the sister explores the call to the religious life as a vocation of obedience, chastity, and poverty rooted in love for Christ. Her reflections invite readers-whether vowed or lay, clergy or seeker-into a deeper attentiveness to the voice of God and the discipline of holiness. Now restored to print with a foreword by Mother Miriam, C.S.M., and an introduction and selection of classic prayers by the Rev. Brandon Le Tourneau, this edition brings a century-old treasure of Anglican devotion to a new generation. For those discerning a vocation, guiding others in their spiritual journey, or seeking renewal in the life of prayer, A Garden Enclosed bears witness to the beauty of consecrated life in Christ. "Even as God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, this little book is a pearl of great price for those who feel that call to give all to God forever." - Mother Miriam, C.S.M.
