St. Benedict’s rule for business success
by Quentine R. Skrabec, Jr. St.
Benedict's Rule is one of a handful of documents, such as the Magna Carta and
U.S. Constitution, that make up the foundation of Western civilization. Benedict's
Rule is an organizational blueprint for success; Benedict's original organization
is the oldest in the world, spanning more than 1,500 years. The beauty of The
Rule is its organizational genius, which has wide application beyond monastic
groups. The Rule is a basic textbook showing how to create and maintain effective
organizations. It offers today's reader insights into some of the most difficult
resource management issues in business. |

Saint Benedict on the freeway : a rule of life
for the 21st century
by Corrine Ware How
can we heal the rift between our daily lives and the sacred? How can we live a
life capable of hearing "the still small voice" of God while experiencing
the speed and sensory overload of modern life? This book is Ware's answer to these
questions. She acknowledges that others have addressed the questions; on the one
hand there are books which have significant depth but speak in academic or "in-group"
language and provide little help adapting these insights to everyday life. On
the other hand, there are practical "how-to" exercises which assist
in very particular spiritual experiences but which do not offer integrated, sustainable,
life-changing patterns. St. Benedict on the Freeway fills this gap. It "translates
into twenty-first century life spiritually formative practices worked out in the
past, creatively adapting those disciplines to contemporary daily life."
