In today's fast-paced and often fractured culture we all seek inner peace and unity. John Michael Talbot's The Universal Monk is a powerful way for everyone to find it! It is written from his experience in public international ministry and as founder and spiritual father of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity, a new integrated monastic community of celibates, singles who can marry, and families who live in an integrated monastery or in their own homes. This book walks us through a treatment of the current issues that face us, offering real spiritual and lifestyle answers that come from a fully unified and integrated life in God. If you are tired of the "same old, same old," this book is for you!
