This book is a very interesting and informative synthesis of the basic elements of the monastic tradition which have come down to us in the rule of St. Benedict. From the very beginning of the book, Fr. Wulstan rightly presents the basic foundation of monastic life--the monk is one who truly seeks God. --Fr. Christian Celecha, OSB, St. Procopius Abbey It is a good, solidly monastic work, well situated in the context of our own tradition. Our novice master now has something recommendable to our novices, candidates, and juniors. I think it would be a handy text to accompany novice instructions. --Archabbot Timothy Sweeney, OSB, St. Meinard Archabbey While it was inspiring to me personally, I have also found the opportunity to use it in retreat conferences. --Abbot Edwin Cole, OSB, St. Pius X Abbey
