THE RULE OF ST. BENEDICT
Giới thiệu về sách nói này
The 1,500-Year-Old Blueprint for a Well-Ordered Life
Long before anyone spoke of work-life balance, a quiet man in the hills of Italy wrote a short, humane guide to living with purpose. The Rule of St. Benedict has shaped monasteries, leaders, and ordinary seekers for fifteen centuries—and it still speaks, plainly and powerfully, to anyone hungry for order, meaning, and peace.
This clean modern English edition keeps every chapter and verse intact, set in clear and faithful prose for reading, study, and daily reflection.
