Overview
Life Together in a World Apart structured around forty daily readings, introduces readers to key themes from the Rule of Saint Benedict—such as listening with “the ear of your heart,” practicing discipleship, and living a Christ-centered life with others. Each entry combines Benedictine insights, biblical reflections, and modern applications designed to foster genuine spiritual growth over time. It directly addresses current “life apart” challenges like loneliness, restlessness, and private faith without accountability, encouraging practices like prayer, humility, obedience, and community. Using vivid metaphors (for example, describing community as God’s “workshop” equipped with “tools of the spiritual craft”) and reflective “Questions to Consider,” the book is suitable for individual or group study—aiming to develop habits that shape Christlike character and deepen love for God and others.
