"The first of Benedict's disciples to be identified by name in Gregory the Great's Life of the monastic founder, Maurus serves there to illustrate by example rather than abstract principles the monastic virtues which Benedict inculcated. As the Benedictine Rule spread across the Carolingian Empire in the ninth century, Maurus reappears again, this time as the apostle of Benedictine monasticism north of the Alps. The Abbey of Glanfeuil claimed him as its founder, and from there a Life - purported to be copied from an ancient manuscript - and a Little Book of his miracles extended devotion to Maurus throughout France, and beyond."--BOOK JACKET.

Mary Fabyan Windeatt presents the powerful story of the famous life and miracles of St. Benedict for the Vision Book series of saints for youth. Known as the Father of Western Monasticism, St. Benedict played a major role in the Christinization and civilization of post-Roman Europe in the sixth century. Having lived in an era of great immorality and vice, Benedict founded an order for monks whose strong life of prayer and work helped convert the godless society around them. It tells how his Benedictine order of monks spread throughout Europe and the New World. The heroic life of his sister St. Scholastica, his saving a boy from drowning, raising one from the dead, and the story of poisoned wine are all told in this exciting, dramatic tale of a great saint. Illustrated.

Some may think that the point of prayer is to get our own way with extra-terrestrial help, or to save us from facing the problems of life, or to provide an escape from 'reality', or to give an emotional uplift that makes you feel food. Some may think that prayer is a way of expanding our consciousness which is achieved by our own discipline and personal effort at self-improvement. These are caricatures of what Christian prayer really is. There may be a strand of truth in some of them, but they miss the real point of prayer.

Praise for Man of Blessing "The difference with Butcher's book... is the exploration of Benedict's unusual life; his relationship with his twin sister, Scholastica; and the illumination of the saint's miracles. The book's readability will make it easy for patrons to escape into late Roman Culture and find peace in monastic simplicity." -Library Journal starred review "This remarkable book is a delightful blend of legend and solid history." –Sr. Lenora Black OSB, Spirit & Life "Throughout the book [Butcher]...interweaves some good research that expands the context of Benedict's world and adds dimension to his character." -American Benedictine Review "Butcher's life of St. Benedict is an excellent example of modern hagiography, written with imagination in a contemporary style based on historical facts and tradition." -Catholic Library World
