J Augustine Wetta, O.S.B., is a monk of Saint Louis Abbey. He serves as the Director of Chaplaincy at the Saint Louis Priory School, where he teaches English and Theology, and coaches rugby. During his spare time, Father Augustine supervises the juggling team, cultivates carnivorous plants, raises carpenter ants, and surfs.
This book could not be more perfect. The author shares with
C.S.Lewis his rare talent of taking profound thought and turning it
into the language ordinary people understand. Many have tried to do
as Lewis did, but of those who have achieved it, Fr Augustine is
the most successful.
-- Walter Hooper, Literary Adviser to the Estate of C.S.LewisMy
apostolate has worked with many thousands of teens and young
adults. I know how real self-esteem challenges are for them. Fr.
Augustine's book is a good antidote to this. It is full of
practical, relevant advice based on a rule that's been road-tested
for 1,500 years. I highly recommend this refreshing and engaging
read!
-- Curtis A. Martin, Founder and CEO of FOCUSWith warmth, wit, and
honesty, Humility Rules presents a fascinating window into the way
of the monk, showing how St. Benedict's wisdom enables us to find
freedom in Christ wherever we make our home. The depth of this
book's spirituality makes it an engaging introduction to the
Benedictine way for readers of any age.
-- Dawn Eden, Author, Remembering God's MercySecular culture loves
things monastic like monk-made bread and calming meditation. But
the heart of the Benedictine life is humility. This deceptively
light hearted book offers a series of enlightening contrasts to
make humility an attractive proposition today. This is an excellent
introduction to truthful living for a culture steeped in
illusions.
-- Dom Christopher Jamison, Monk, Writer, BroadcasterHumility
rules. It really does! This fun and insightful look at the Rule of
Saint Benedict brings ageless wisdom to everyday life. Do yourself
a favor and pick up this book! Then ask God to help you live it.
For in His kingdom, the way down is truly the only way up.
-- Joanna Weaver, best-selling author of Having a Mary Heart in a
Martha World
