Though originally written for monks, its wisdom extends far beyond the monastery walls. Families, parish communities, schools, and lay faithful seeking deeper spiritual order will find in these pages a clear and balanced path toward holiness.</p>\n<p>St. Benedict offers not abstract theory but lived Christianity. His Rule is marked by discretion, moderation, and a profound understanding of human strength and weakness. It teaches stability in a restless world, obedience rooted in love, humility grounded in truth, and daily rhythms that quietly transform the soul.</p>\n<p>This is a concrete framework for structuring life so that prayer, work, community, and virtue are integrated rather than fragmented. Whether you lead a household, serve in parish ministry, or seek personal reform, the Rule provides enduring principles for cultivating discipline, peace, and lasting spiritual growth.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>Establish ordered daily rhythms that strengthen prayer and discipline</li>\n<li>Apply Benedictine moderation to family life, parish leadership, and personal growth</li>\n<li>Learn how humility and obedience form the foundation of authentic authority</li>\n<li>Build communities rooted in charity, accountability, and stability</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Book</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">Listen carefully, my son, to the master&rsquo;s instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart.</blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">Intended Audience</h3>\n<p>This edition is ideal for lay Catholics seeking structure in their spiritual lives, parents who desire a stable and prayerful home culture, parish leaders forming intentional communities, and anyone drawn to Benedictine spirituality.</p>\n<p>It is not limited to monks or religious. While deeply rooted in monastic tradition, the Rule is accessible to readers at every stage of spiritual maturity. Beginners will find clear principles for growth, while seasoned Catholics will discover depth that rewards lifelong reflection.</p>\n<p>Practical use cases include personal spiritual reading, family rule formation, parish small groups, and leadership development rooted in Catholic tradition.</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">FAQs</h3>\n<p><strong>Is this book only for monks?</strong><br />No. Although written for monastic communities, its principles of order, humility, prayer, and charity apply to families, workplaces, and parish life.</p>\n<p><strong>Is the language accessible to modern readers?</strong><br />Yes. This edition preserves the spiritual richness of the original while remaining clear and readable for today&rsquo;s Catholic audience.</p>\n<p><strong>Can this be used in a group setting?</strong><br />Absolutely. The Rule lends itself well to small groups, leadership teams, and family discussions seeking practical spiritual structure.</p>\n<div style=\"background: #fafafa; border: 1px solid #E2E2E2; padding: 1.5rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.25rem; margin: 0 0 .5rem;\">Key Themes</h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>Order and stability</li>\n<li>Humility and obedience</li>\n<li>Community life</li>\n<li>Spiritual discipline</li>\n<li>Moderation and discretion</li>\n<li>Practical holiness</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n</section>","show_backorder_message":true,"tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$9.95","value":9.95,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax"},"height":"7.00","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"The Rule of Saint Benedict","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","show_backorder_availability_prompt":true,"max_purchase_quantity":0,"show_quantity_on_hand":true,"mpn":null,"upc":"9781935302391","options":[{"id":4483,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":8834,"label":"Deluxe Leatherette","selected":false,"data":"Deluxe Leatherette"},{"id":8836,"label":"Paperbound","selected":true,"data":"Paperbound"},{"id":8837,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"},{"id":8838,"label":"MP3 Audio Download","selected":false,"data":"MP3 Audio Download"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":3737,"sku":"TE1645","name":"The Rule of Saint Benedict (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/digital/ebooks-audiobooks/the-rule-of-saint-benedict-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/Topic/Saints & Sainthood","eBooks"],"summary":"","image":{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3737/12060/the-rule-of-saint-benedict-ebook__39831.1743715487.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Rule of Saint Benedict (eBook) "},"images":[{"data":"https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-iuax7bpgx3/images/stencil/{:size}/products/3737/12060/the-rule-of-saint-benedict-ebook__39831.1743715487.jpg?c=1","alt":" The Rule of Saint Benedict (eBook) "}],"date_added":"Oct 24th 2022","pre_order":false,"show_cart_action":true,"has_options":false,"stock_level":null,"low_stock_level":null,"qty_in_cart":0,"custom_fields":[{"id":58859,"name":"SEARCH_IGNORE","value":"true"},{"id":70883,"name":"atc-product","value":"1719"},{"id":70885,"name":"atc-product","value":"3193"},{"id":70887,"name":"atc-product","value":"3761"},{"id":70889,"name":"cpu-product","value":"1221"},{"id":70890,"name":"cpu-product","value":"4232"},{"id":70891,"name":"cpu-product","value":"3002"},{"id":75501,"name":"Product Format","value":"eBook"},{"id":76933,"name":"Format","value":"Digital"}],"num_reviews":0,"weight":{"formatted":"0.00 LBS","value":0},"demo":false,"add_to_cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php?action=add&product_id=3737","price":{"without_tax":{"currency":"USD","formatted":"$9.95","value":9.95},"tax_label":"Tax"},"add_to_wishlist_url":"https://tanbooks.com/wishlist.php?action=add&product_id=3737"},{"id":3731,"sku":"SA9787","name":"The Rule of Saint Benedict (MP3 Audio Download)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/digital/ebooks-audiobooks/the-rule-of-saint-benedict-mp3-audiobook-download/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Audiobooks"],"summary":"Embrace the wisdom of centuries with 'The Rule of Saint Benedict' MP3 Audio Download.
