Reviews for Ancient Paths: Discover Christian Formation the Benedictine Way

"""Whether you are engaged in public office or business or a member of AA or a local parish, Ancient Paths applies the values of St. Benedict's sixth-century monastic Rule to your circumstances in modern life. This author is a path-finder."" --Brother Benet Tvedten, OSB, author of How to Be a Monastic and Not Leave Your Day Job ""This is a book by an experienced Benedictine-not a monk and not a Catholic, but a Presbyterian pastor with a family who has spent twenty years living and studying the Rule of Benedict. His style is simple and gently; his many suggestions practical; his sincerity palpable."" --Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB, author of Essential Monastic Wisdom ""Eminently practical applications for any person interested in being re-molded into the image of God."" --Dennis Okholm, Professor of Theology, Azusa Pacific University"
