Wise and enduring spiritual guidelines for everyday living –– as relevant today as when The Rule was originally conceived by St. Benedict in fifth century Rome.

Wisdom Distilled from the Daily provides an examination of how the Rule of St. Benedict is still a relevant model for contemporary spiritual growth and for establishing a connection with God, other people, and the inner self. Joan Chittister, a member of the Benedictine Order, outlines the importance of listening, humility, prayer, and obedience, but also leisure, hospitality and peace in everyday life. These wise and enduring spiritual guidelines are as relevant today as they were when the Rule was originally conceived by St. Benedict in fifth century Rome.

Joan Chittister is a member and former prioress of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, and she is the founder and current executive director of Benetvision, a resource and research center for contemporary spirituality. She has authored 40 books, including Called to Question: A Spiritual Memoir, The Rule of Benedict, and In Search of Belief.

“An invitation to spirituality for the many who don’t think they are ‘spiritual’ – but far more than an invitation, a lengthy wisdom-filled conversation.” – Eugene H. Peterson, author of Answering God
