"Very good book through and through. Much sage wisdom herein, and many good reminders of the basics regarding right and embodied living. The last chapter-unlike all those gone before-left a bit to be desired, though. While attempting to encourage the reader's best efforts towards "happiness," the results appear to be too dependant on human effort (rather than, say, a collaborative sense of "joy"). I trust the monks could clarify what they meant were the question to be asked, but clarifying it in the book would be a better way to end what is, overall, a blesséd read."
"What a well-balanced and practical guide of monastic wisdom for the 21st century. This community is rooted in Orthodoxy, but open to all Christian traditions and all people, for that matter. It clearly and convincingly shows that the vocation of a monk is none other than the vocation of every Christian, that is, to be present with God in all of life, in every situation.
Lots of really helpful insights into how to live as a follower of Christ in a balanced, God-glorifying way. I liked how open-ended it was in that it wasn't preachy; the authors just challenge every reader to delve more fully into living out the Gospel as followers of Christ in their situation. I especially liked how un-rigid the advice was, and unlegalistic. If the Jesus Prayer distracts you from loving others, don't say it all the time. If your spiritual disciplines keep you from experiencing the real world, then make more room for balance.
I really enjoyed this book. Any group of monks that raises and trains German Shepherds should be listened to wholeheartedly."
