Publisher's Synopsis
Monasticism may seem exotic, or irrelevant, a hangover from a distant past. What can it say to people today, caught up in the stress of daily life? This book is not so much about the Rule as about the life which it helps some of us to live. Fr Nicolas Stebbing, a priest of the Anglican Community of the Resurrection, Mirfield and Sr Philippa Edwards, a Roman Catholic Benedictine nun of Stanbrook Abbey, Wass, invite us simply to enter the space which this offers, to read their description of the life they live and love, and to ask ourselves how this could bring changes to our lives that will give them more meaning and help us to make more sense of what we are doing.
