Description: Listen, My Son (the opening words of Benedict's Rule) breaks the Rule into small daily portions and provides commentary specifically geared to help men be better husbands and parents. Without underestimating the emotional, spiritual, and physical demands of fatherhood, Longenecker also holds up the joys of developing a strong bond with God -- one that nurtures the individual man, and that provides him with the ability to grow himself and his family in faithfulness, service, and love.
