For over fifteen hundred years St. Benedict’s Rule has been a source of guidance, strengthen, inspiration, challenge, comfort and discomfort for women and men. It has helped both those living under monastic vows and those living outside the cloister in the entire mess and muddle of abnormal, busy lives on this planet. Esther de Waal’s Seeking God serves as an introduction to this life-giving way and encourages people to discover for themselves the gift that St. Benedict can bring to individuals, to the Church, and to the world, now and in the future years.

Through this definitive classic Esther de Waal has turn out to be known as an authority for the lay person on the Rule of St. Benedict. Her ability to communicate clearly the principal values of the Rule when applied to lay people is the ultimate strength of this book. She follows each chapter with a page or two of thoughts and prayers, contributing to its meditative quality.
