This beautiful book, with it's charming illustrations, opens a door for those who wish to explore how Benedict's vision can help them live a more balanced life. Passages from the Rule, selected and introduced by Verna Holyhead SGS, an Australian religious in the Benedictine tradition, an experienced lecturer and writer, are presented under key aspects of Benedict's wisdom such as prayer, work, community, compassion.
The illustrations by Lynne Muir, an Australian artist noted for her delicate drawings and skilled calligraphy, invite readers to a slower, more contemplative look at the text - and at their own lives.
