Spirituality for Everyday Living: An Adaptation of the Rule of St. Benedict

Taking the Rule's balance of prayer, conversion of life, commitment, study, work relationships, and solitude, this practical spiritual guide explores the Rule's application for ordinary people living outside a monastery. A bestseller!

Spirituality for Everyday Living is a practical resource for people who seek to be "in the world but not of it." It is for individuals or reflection groups who seek God through the qualities of ordinary life. This book takes as its model the monastic Rule of St. Benedict with its balance of prayer, conversion of life, commitment, study, work, relationships, and solitude. These principles are explored for their application to those of us outside the enclosure struggling to find God in the very life we have been given. Recommended readings from the Rule are listed at the end of each section of this book.
