Benedicts Way : An Ancient Monks Insights For A Balanced Life

In the sixth century, a monk named Benedict devised a code of practical principles by which he and his fellow monks could live together and grow in Christian spirit. Centuries later, the Rule of St. Benedict continues to guide and nurture men and women-both inside and outside monasteries-who seek to live a balanced spirituality. This contemplative guide is for individuals of all faiths in search of timeless wisdom.

In thirty short chapters, author Lonni Collins Pratt and Father Daniel Homan provide stories, reflections, prayers, and actions through which the reader can understand Benedict’s principles and allow them to shape ordinary life. This small but powerful book can be used for personal retreat, spiritual reading, and general reflection.
