  * Revised and expanded 10th anniversary edition * Practical, down-to-earth writing style; explains the content of the Rule of St. Benedict and how to use the practices in daily life * Contains historical background to the Rule and a new chapter on relationships and community * Includes guide for group use In the sixth century, when the Roman Empire was breaking apart and politics, cultural life, and even the Church were in disarray - tumultuous times not unlike our own - Benedict of Nursia designed what he termed a little rule that showed his monks the way to peace as they learned to prefer Christ above all things. The Rule of Benedict offers timeless and practical tools for living this Christ-centered life today. St. Benedict's Toolbox provides a primer on how to use these tools in readers' own tumultuous lives. Each chapter examines one aspect of the Rule, from ways of praying to ways of being in relationships and community, and offers tools for reflection, prayer, journaling, and action. For members of all Christian denominations interested in the Rule of St. Benedict and/or spiritual development. Prior knowledge of the Rule is not necessary.
