## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent quality
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2023*

The book that I received was excellent quality.  Haven’t read it yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good, but similar to other books
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018*

I am discerning whether to become an Oblate of St. Benedict. This book was recommended to me by a Benedictine sister in charge of Oblate Formation at a nearby monastery.  Alexa “read” the Kindle version to me while I tried to follow along (I have health issues that make reading on its own very difficult).Generally, I love reading Chittister’s work.  Easy reading.  Well written.  I particularly loved her modern interpretation of St. Benedict’s Twelve Steps of Humility.My one criticism is the formatting of the Kindle version.  Instead of normal pagination, the words are in a column down the center of the page; another reviewer referred to this format as “pseudo-poetry.”  Although I’m sure this was intentional, it didn’t work for me.Having said that, I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about Benedictine Spirituality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sourcebook and Spiritual Guide to Contemporary Benedictine Spirituality with a Universal Heart
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2020*

I liked everything about the book--style, content, layout, design, all of it.It was just what I was looking for as I explore a Benedictine spiritually that is keenly aware of patriarchy and other forms of oppression and injustice, and is also global and universal in its attitude and reach and a beautifully written book, succinct, sometimes poetic, deeply practical and spiritual. It is also a needed and inspiring link to Benedictine spiritually lived out in "digital" community in our trying times, when personal contact is limited.
