From Assumption Abbey
CONVERSATION WITH SAINT BENEDICT
The Rule in Today's World
The Rule of Saint Benedict meets contemporary culture -- the connection points and the sticking points between the two are the focus of renowned Benedictine scholar Terrence Kardong's essays here. He discusses various aspects of modern culture that he considers worrisome, and the light that Benedict's Rule might shed on them for Christians today. He also takes up specific aspects of the Rule itself that he finds difficult to deal with. Offers a rich interplay that does not shrink from recognizing both strengths and weaknesses in our culture and also in Benedict's own ideas. Paperback, 146 pages; 6" x 9".

From Assumption Abbey
AT HOME WITH SAINT BENEDICT
Monastery Talks
This book is a door to the chapter room of Assumption Abbey. Readers are invited to open the door, sit down with the monks and their abbot, and feel at home with Saint Benedict.
At Home with Saint Benedict is a selection of the author's conferences on Saint Benedict's Rule for Monasteries delivered to the monks of Assumption Abbey of Ava, Missouri, when he was abbot there. The author's intention was simply to share with his brother monks what Saint Benedict through his sixth-century Rule might have to offer monks of the early twenty-first century. It is hoped that these conferences, published here, will now speak to men and women outside the monastic cloister. 336 pages, paperback.
