The great call in today's culture is not for a greater number of intelligent people or gifted people, but for deep people. What does a deeply rooted spiritual life look like? There are many teachers throughout the ages whose wisdom has stood the test of time. St. Benedict of Nursia is one of them and with him as a guide, one can walk the path to a deeper spiritual life. In this book, the author outlines eight steps that can be taken: listening, poverty, reformed behavior, obedience, hospitality, humility, stability and balance. There is also the spiritual practice of lectio divina that is also covered. By putting Benedict's "little rule" into practice, one can experience peace, balance and stability and be a model of stewardship, compassion and hope in a world that so desperately needs it.
