Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-05 00:00:00 Martha C Goss An extended close reading of Chapter 7 of Benedict's Rule. Point by point, verse by verse, step by step, Casey explores the scriptural references, the practical consequences, and the philosophical assumptions lost (and gained) through the centuries. Meditative but not abstruse, contemplative but not specious, this "Guide" strikes the work-a-day balance that the Rule itself embodies.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-11-13 00:00:00 Brian Maxwell I love Benedictine reflections on the spiritual life. This one was full of gold nuggets. Not exactly a page turner, but given the topic, the fact that I wasn't eager to read about how to be more humble probably says more about me than the book.
