Seek After Peace . . . and Pursue It

Did you ever wish you could peer over a monastery wall and see what monks do all day? The illustrations and text of this book will allow you to do just that. Benedictine monks have been living together as a family under the same rule for nearly 1500 years. By incorporating the Benedictine Rule into one's own life, the lay person can also find this peace and harmony. Each of the commentaries on the selected chapters of the rule serves as an aid for the reader's daily reading and meditation. Those individuals who are seeking a more peaceful, spiritually enriched life will find this book thought-provoking. In addition to the rule and commentary, you will delight in the insightful sketches of monastic life.
