Advance Praise and Reviews
"Benedict's most fundamental insight in the Rule is that we seek God through ordinary means." — Spirituality & Practice Book Review
"Stewart... unravels the Benedictine approach to prayer, spiritual reading, obedience, community life, work, discipline, and time, showing how its rituals can give meaning to Christians outside the monastery." — Christianbook.com
This exploration of Benedictine spirituality provides the perfect introduction to St Benedict and his Rule. The book places Benedict and his Rule within the extraordinary world of early Christian monasticism and explores his key insights about awareness of the presence of God and meeting Christ in other people.
