In Desiring Life, Norvene Vest brings the insights of Benedict's Rule
to the wisdom tradition. Desiring Life is the third book in her series
on Benedictine spirituality for people living in the world today. Vest
asks questions of pressing concern today, such as: What is the “good
life” we seek? How can we learn to live with integrity and
compassion, despite the growing gap between public ethics and narrow
self-interest? How can we live fully and well? What sort of people
should we as Christians try to be? In sections on wisdom, virtue, and
ethics Vest describes these contemporary questions and addresses them
through passages from Benedict's Rule. Through the recovery of
insights from the past, Vest believes, we can draw closer to the heart
of our desire for life in all its fullness—union with God.
