This is a fantastic little devotional book based on the writings of (and about) St. Benedict. You get deep spiritual thought from Benedict, with lots of thought-provoking questions and a good dose of scripture. There is nothing like journeying into God alongside of great teachers like Benedict.

A good devotional book. Short, very basic, and introductory, especially for those unfamiliar with Benedict or Benedictine spirituality.

This was a wonderful book outlining much about the life of St. Benedict & the real life application of the Rule of St. Benedict. Throughout this book, one has the opportunity to reflect on many issues in life through the guidance of St. Benedict & many of the dialogs from St. Gergory the Great.
