Good Neighbor : Benedicts Guide To Community
$17.99
The Rule of St. Benedict focuses four essential areas of everyday life. These areas are relevant for every person, regardless of creed or denomination: prayer, work, community and rest. How do we apply these in the midst of our busy lives?
In The Good Shepherd award-winning author Robert Benson takes a close look at the meaning of community, according to the traditions founded by Benedict. How is it possible to live a life of community in today’s fragmented world? Does it mean that you have to retreat to some far-off place or join a set-apart group of people? No, explains Benson, as he offers St. Benedict’s wisdom with his trademark humor and elegant prose.
The Good Shepherd offers practical help to modern folks engaged in defining, discovering, nurturing, and sustaining community in the world in which they live.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
