heidihaverkamp's review against another edition
5.0
I will need to read this book about ten more times - it's that full and rich. I thought I knew the Rule backwards and forwards. Nope. de Waal opens it for lay people like me in profound and life-giving ways that I will be working on and ruminating over for a very long time.

I heartily recommend this for all Christians who struggle with the contradictions and paradoxes of our lives and our faith. From the back cover, “These simple and inviting reflections on the Rule of St. Benedict take as their starting point our search for wholeness in a world that is fragmented and increasingly polarized.” You need not be a monastic or Catholic to reap a harvest of mature spiritual insight and guidance.
