Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"[Brother Benet] brings a wealth of insight and wisdom to his work as an Oblate Director and this book reflects the depth of his abilities to make the Benedictine tradition accessible to those of us who seek God as Oblates. Do not miss this work from someone who has made the Benedictine tradition 'real' for so many of us who seek to live a monastic way of life but cannot leave our 'day jobs'!" --David A. Zinz, Christianbook.com
