Description: "Father Christopher Jamison is the Abbot of Worth, a Benedictine monastery in Sussex. In this inspirational and practical book he offers ways in which the lessons of monastic living, and the teaching of St Benedict can be put into practice in our hectic, modern and unmonastic lives. St Benedict wrote his Rule for monastic living 1,500 years ago. It is a book of insights about Christian living, with suggestions about how to put these ideas into practice. The insights in the Rule are still guiding people today, and they are the foundation of the sanctuaries that are the Benedictine monasteries and convents of the 21st century."--Publisher description.
