Praise
Whether you are engaged in public office or business or a member of AA or a local parish, Ancient Paths applies the values of St. Benedict's sixth-century monastic Rule to your circumstances in modern life. This author is a path-finder.
Brother Benet Tvedten, OSB, author of How to Be a Monastic and Not Leave Your Day Job“
I highly recommend David Robinson's Ancient Paths. Robinson's pastoral heart is evident as he carefully peels back the layers of monastic wisdom--in practical and commonsense ways.
Laura Swan, OSB, author of Engaging Benedict
This is a book by an experienced Benedictine–not a monk and not a Catholic, but a Presbyterian pastor with a family who has spent twenty years living and studying the Rule of Benedict. His style is simple and gently; his many suggestions practical; his sincerity palpable.
Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB, author of Essential Monastic Wisdom
