The Nile on eBay   Monastery without Walls by Laurence Freeman A volume of remarkable spiritual wisdom and insight, as fresh and relevant for today as when they were first written. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description Much of today's fascination with and attraction to the Rule of St. Benedict can be attributed to John Main, a Benedictine monk, who first saw that this rule of life for monastic communities could be relevant for Christian living in the secular world. He founded a community of lay people who shared his vision and from this small beginning has grown. The World Community for Christian Meditation which today is active in numerous countries around the world and has thousands of members and associates. Its work, and its emphasis on meditation, derives directly from the Benedictine focus on prayer and lectio divina or holy reading.
