Building The Benedict Option

Building the Benedict Option is a combination spiritual memoir and practical handbook for Christians who want to build communities of prayer, socialisation, and evangelisation in the places where they live and work.

Beginning when the author was a new convert, she desired more communal prayer and fellowship than weekly Mass could provide. She surveyed her friends--busy, young, urban professionals like herself--and created unique enriching or supportive experiences that matched their desires and schedules. The result was a less lonely and more boisterous spiritual and social life.
