1. Building The Benedict Option
A practical, down-to-earth guide for Christians seeking to build intentional communities and institutions that sustain religious practice and moral formation in a secular, atomized culture. Combining historical monastic wisdom with contemporary case studies and interviews, it offers concrete blueprints—covenants, governance structures, schooling, businesses, liturgy, economics, hospitality, and digital boundaries—and step-by-step advice for launching and maintaining local networks of mutual aid. The book emphasizes lay leadership rooted in parish life, adaptable models rather than rigid prescriptions, and a posture of engagement with broader society that preserves flourishing across generations.
