From Death to Life

About the Book

Life is a journey best made day by day. In the fifth century, a young man by the name of Benedict took up a day-by-day journey in search of a more balanced way of living the Gospel life. Others began to join him. Benedict wrote a Rule of Life to guide the search. Using his wisdom from chapter 4 of the Rule of Benedict, this book proposes following the Instruments of Good Works as a way of walking through the days of the Easter season. It is a journey that reflects new life.
