The Rule of Benedict serves as a timeless framework for education, leadership, and personal fulfillment in "Glory in All Things." André Gushurst-Moore explores its relevance in contemporary society, emphasizing the virtues essential for a happy life, the structure of a meaningful curriculum, and the integration of prayer and service in discovering one's vocation. This insightful work highlights how ancient wisdom can inform modern practices and foster a well-ordered life.
The Common Mind traces the theme of the sensus communis, inherited from the medievals, through the lives and writings of twelve literary figures in the modern age, ranging from Thomas More and Jonathan Swift to C. S. Lewis and Russell Kirk. It is this quality, argues the author, which, like natural law, serves as the bedrock of orthodoxy, of social and political order, and which, by its presence or absence, determines the nature of every society. The Common Mind is an altogether uncommon achievement: a rich, multivalent reading of our present cultural condition through a brilliant procession of literary portraits; and a critical work in the ongoing effort to recover a unity of life, of understanding, of principles--in short, a common mind.
