From informal versions of the Rule of St. Benedict to Twelve-Step
groups and Weight Watchers, the basic human need for guidance and
structure in the quest for wholeness is palpable and real. Out of
her long experience as a spiritual director, mentor, and teacher,
Margaret Guenther offers a warm and sensible guide for "the rest of
us" -- singles, couples, parents, extended families, members of
churches -- to create a helpful and balanced rule of life to help
us in our search for faith. She explores ancient and contemporary
meanings for the classic vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience,
along with the distinctively Benedictine ethos of stability and
conversion, pointing out the pitfalls of each. A series of short
essays follows on the different elements of a rule of life -- such
as authority, money, pleasure, stinginess, friends, enemies, and
living through hard times. The final chapter gives practical ideas
for crafting a rule of life that encourages each of us to grow,
stretch, and flourish.
