More DescriptionIn this honest, funny, touching book, Carol Bonomo, a Benedictine oblate - a layperson vowed to live according to the fourth-century Rule - reconciles the conflict between the world's call and Benedict's more gentle admonition as she examines the twelve rungs on Benedict's ladder of humility against the backdrop of the liturgical year.
