Benedictine Study,
By RBO "spiritsearcher" (MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life and Miracles of St. Benedict (Book Two of the Dialogues) (Paperback)
Anyone interested in the Benedictine way of life as a vocation or as a lay person would appreciate this book. Because it was written a short time after Benedict died, less than a century, it is quite authentic.
It is in clear language and easy to read. The book would be a good teaching tool for middle to high school students, as well as for anyone wondering about the lives of saints.

Past the staples,
By Lovisa Gustaffson (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life and Miracles of St. Benedict (Book Two of the Dialogues) (Paperback)
Past the staples, November 27, 2007 By Lovisa Gustaffson (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews In college-a Bendecitine one-a Medieval Christianity professor assigned the reading of this very small book in two parts. The first time we were to only read to the staples in the middle. This book, through simple description of this holy man's rather solitary and unassuming, yet grand, life, obviously worthy of such a biography, was largely the founding stone upon my conversion to Catholicism.

This review is from: Life and Miracles of St. Benedict (Book Two of the Dialogues) (Paperback)
I enjoyed the book because I'm a fan of history. I'd heard of St. Benedict but it was nice to read something about him from those who lived around him. I heartily recommend the book (not boof).
