Book description
Every age has answered the questions and challenges of spiritual
living in its own particular ways through its languages, arts, and
lifestyles, giving seekers various concepts for guidance. In this
original manifesto, bestselling author Joan Chittister delivers a
roadmap based on the ancient Rule of Benedict that stands as a
practical model upon which to build a satisfying life, despite the
seemingly limitless (and at times meaningless) supply of options in
the modern world. By giving spiritual seekers - individuals, couples,
families, and small groups - a new opportunity to live a better life
from the very centre of their world without ever having to withdraw
from it, Chittister's new approach redefines Benedictine living for
modern day seekers while remaining firmly rooted in its monastic values.
Joan Chittister is an internationally known author and lecturer,
and the executive director of Benetvision, a resource and research
center for contemporary spirituality. She currently serves as co-chair
of the Global Peace Initiative of Women, and lives in Erie, Pennsylvania.
