by J. Augustine Wetta, O.S.B.
Brother Augustine was a juggling, surfing lifeguard who gave it all up to become a Benedictine monk. In this delightful book, he applies the heart of St. Benedict's Rule to modern life for those of us who aren't called to religious life (and perhaps to some who will be called). Through his own experiences and stories, he shares how the Rule has shaped his life and how its wisdom can show us what's most important.
Everyone comes to a point in his life when he must choose between fun and joy. and to choose the former over the latter leads to a whole lot of emptiness. (p. 96)
The book is light-hearted and funny, full of ridiculous illustrations in full color, but the guide is serious.
Highly recommended.
