 General Description:

One would expect an abbot to have words of wisdom for monks living in a monastery. But could his musings be relevant for those living in a complicated and often harried world? Yes, as readers will discover in this insightful collection. In these essays—from "Coldhearted Orthodoxy" to "God’s DVD Library," from "The God of Hearsay" to "The Turtle on the Fencepost"—readers will think in new ways about prayer and the Christian life, about faith and trust. Along the way, they will find in Jerome Kodell an abbot worthy of trust.

Jerome Kodell, OSB, is abbot of Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas. He has served as editor of The Abbey Message and is also a founding member of the Little Rock Scripture Study Program. He is author of Twelve Keys to Prayer and The Eucharist in the New Testament, both published by Liturgical Press.

"You can trust this Abbot—to deliver a generous helping of wit, wisdom, and common sense, seasoned with a humor that gentles the challenge these essays offer. Be prepared to be amused, touched, startled—and above all, to be forced to think about life in and beyond the monastery a little differently than you did before."
-Sister Genevieve Glen, OSB, Abbey of St. Walburga, Virginia Dale, Colorado
"Contrary to his title, we can trust Abbot Jerome to write lively, but still profound, essays on spiritual topics. In addition to that, he is a serious Bible scholar who knows how to bring the Good Book to bear on contemporary life issues. An ideal book for daily meditation."
-Terrence G. Kardong, OSB, Author of The Life of St. Benedict by Gregory the Great
