Item Description...
"For today's hungry Christians, teachings on the Rule of Saint Benedict by one of the twentieth century's best-loved Catholic writers."
"Benedict is saying, 'Wake up Open your eyes Open your ears Let the divine life and light invade you so that your life is filled with aspiration, joy and hope.'" - M. Basil Pennington
At Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Monastery in Conyers, Georgia, Abbot Basil Pennington gave weekly talks to the monks on the Rule of Saint Benedict. Now, readers and listeners are able to sit and learn from one of the most important spiritual teachers of the last century. The talks have been lovingly transcribed and organized into book form, and they have also been exquisitely preserved on a single compact disk.
This ancient Rule, written in the sixth century, continues to be a guide for men and women wishing to live a Christian life. Beginning with the prologue, Abbot Basil reads and comments on selected passages, providing the monks with insights into applying them in daily living. He takes the Latin phrases from the Rule and translates them into wisdom for the journey. Using his own monastic experiences, Basil illustrates how the Rule is more than a guide - it is a way of life to be lived in love for Jesus Christ and in service to others.
The "Listen With Your Heart Compact Disc" (double CD) is the recorded version of M. Basil Pennington giving nine of the talks from which the book is transcribed. |

 | Vintage Pennington--talks and wisdom Sep 29, 2007 |
| This book is a real gem for anyone with an interest in monastic spirituality, the Rule of Saint Benedict in particular, or the charisma that was Basil Pennington. He lived a remarkable life--a cloistered monk but also a world-traveler. A scholar but also with a great talent for making the wisdom of monastic life down to earth for those of us on the outside. He died in 2005 and these talks were given to the monks in Georgia during his time as abbot, there. As a Protestant man, I must say that I found them uplifting, informative, and instructive on how to live as husband, father, and son of God. There is also a two CD set of the talks themselves (the book is the transcription of the talks), available directly from the publisher. The audio talks remind me of the talks that Thomas Merton gave at Gethsemani back in the 1950s and 60s. | | | Write your own review about Listen With Your Heart: Spiritual Living with the Rule of St. Benedict (Voices from the Monastery)
