Book Synopsis
A timeless source of wisdom for people looking to lead a life of simplicity, purpose, and serenity
The Rule of St. Benedict has governed monastic communities for centuries, but it is far more than a standard religious text. The Rule is, above all, a handbook for living a deliberate life--no matter your religious background or beliefs. It teaches the importance of contemplation and silence, of solitude, and the power of community and unity.
Review Quotes
Praise for The Rule of St. Benedict:
The same desire that accompanied men and women to the first European monasteries, drive many of us today to the spiritual riches of St. Benedict and his famous Rule. And there is no better guide than Philip Freeman. Highly recommended! --Jon M. Sweeney, author of St. Francis of Assisi: His Life, Teachings, and Practice
