Book Reviews of How to Be a Monastic And Not Leave Your Day Job: An Invitation to Oblate Life (Voice from the Monastery)
Book Review: Shallow Enough to Wade Into at the Beginning
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a convert not anywhere near a monastery and not ready for oblate life who has only known one benedictine for a short period of time. While the emphasis on community and oblate life within the confines of a monastery is rightly there, this short book has introduced me to a new approach and a philosophy of life that is as refreshing as it was unexpected. While it doesn't include the rule, it includes simple concepts -- enough to keep me busy, questioning, reordering my days, and embracing a kind of peace unusual in this current day's pace. I would also highly recommend a book called Oblation: Meditations on St. Benedict's Rule. It is a collection of poetry born as a reaction to various parts and concepts contained in Benedict's Rule.
