Another from my dad’s stash of books. Written by the Abbot Christopher Jamison from the Benedictine monastery of Worth Abbey in Sussex. The book follows the TV series ‘The Monastery� where 5 modern men spent 40 days and nights in a retreat here.

An overview of St Benedict’s teaching. Focussing on the Monastic steps of: Silence. Contemplation. Obedience, Humility, Community, Spiritualty and Hope. There are references to the men in the tv series as well as other religious examples.

I enjoyed the read. But was reminded that I was not able to deliver the ‘retreat� my dad would have loved. I will look out the tv series.
