<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A timeless source of wisdom for people looking to lead a life of simplicity, purpose, and serenity<br></b><br><i>The Rule of St. Benedict</i> has governed monastic communities for centuries, but it is far more than a standard religious text. <i>The Rule</i> 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. <p/> With lessons focusing on the simple acts of everyday life, like eating and daily work, along with wisdom for the deeply personal and internal facets of living, such as cultivating humility and practicing forgiveness, <i>The Rule of St. Benedict</i> is a profound guide to living a good and meaningful life. <p/> An award-winning translator, Philip Freeman's version of <i>The Rule</i> is beautifully accessible in its language. With a simple and direct style, the book lays out a way of living that is transformative in its simplicity and striking in its power.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Praise for <i>The Rule of St. Benedict: </i><br>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.
