"Very little in this world stays fresh and life-giving for 1,500
years. But when that happens we should ask ourselves why and what
that had to do with us."
In this book, "The Radical Christian Life: A Year with Saint
Benedict," Joan Chittister encourages us to look at that question.
In an introductory essay she examines how the insights and values
of the sixth-century Visionary Saint Benedict can illuminate
today's search for a meaningful life. Then she leads us through the
year, reflecting on twelve stories from Benedict's life, anecdotes
that give us glimpses into his soul. More than that, she draws from
these stories daily thoughts for the development of our own
spiritual lives in this day and age.
"Joan Chittister, OSB, is a Benedictine sister and international
lecturer who has been a leading voice in spirituality for more than
thirty years. She has authored over forty books, most recently
"Uncommon Gratitude" and "The Monastery of the Heart," part of a
program she is helping to develop to enable lay groups to live
Benedictine spirituality in a contemporary way."
