I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, which deeply resonated with me. What I have already awakened to in life was beautifully unfolded in this book through the monastic experience, which offered something new for me to learn about at the same time. This is one of those books I'd label a must-read and keep in my collection. I gave mine to a friend, but will be purchasing another copy. It's great to refer to and use as a helpful tool when caught up in life's daily distractions and seeking to return to self and rest in eternity. If you ever struggled with understanding meditation, this book can help guide you there without the focus being on meditation. Simply reading it brought me into sacred space where I was at complete peace and fully present. The "Sound of Silence" had clicked in a way it hadn't before. I'm now mindful of the hours of the day as it relates to monasticism and it's made me all the more aware. It was a very grounding book for me that I couldn't have read at a more perfect time.
