{"product_id":"recovering-benedict","title":"Recovering Benedict","description":"Recovering Benedict encourages us to nourish our physical and spiritual lives using the Rule of Benedict and the twelve-step recovery principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.As the 'father of Western monasticism,' Benedict pulled together various strands of monastic spirituality into a single handbook for holiness. Alcoholics Anonymous presented an equally innovative way to address alcoholism based on twelve steps drawn from numerous spiritual sources. While it took a sixth-century Italian collating various sources to produce a handbook for spiritual life, it likewise took a twentieth-century American to pull together the spiritual principles to recover one's physical life. John E. Crean, Jr. brings both traditions together in one handbook for living: daily meditations are inspired by the down-to-earth wisdom of the Rule of Benedict, and AA's template for sobriety and humbleness.A thoughtful daily devotional for all who wish for deeper healing, for personal use, or group study.","brand":"John Edward Crean Jr.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42081870151892,"sku":"9781640653269","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9351\/9316\/files\/9781640653269.jpg?v=1776255707","url":"https:\/\/etcevents.co.uk\/products\/recovering-benedict","provider":"ETCEvents","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
