In the sixth century when the Roman Empire was breaking apart and politics, cultural life and even the Church were in disarrayātumultuous times not unlike our ownāBenedict of Nursia designed what he termed āa little ruleā that showed his monks the way to peace as they learned to prefer Christ above all things.
Jane Tomaine translates St. Benedictās ancient rule for a modern audience and offers readers a primer on how to use these tools in their own tumultuous lives. Each chapter examines one aspect of the Rule, from ways of praying to ways of being in relationships and community, and offers tools for reflection, prayer, journaling, and action. This updated edition includes historical background to the Rule, a new chapter on relationships and community, and a guide for group use.
