In The View from a Monastery, Brother Benet Tyedten reflects on his life at Blue Cloud Abbey on the choices he's made; on the changes, over the years, in Benedictine life, and on the various monks with whom he's shared his life. A skilled storyteller, he continually dodges our expectations, demonstrating that the monastery, just like the world outside it, is a place filled with life in all of its blessed contradictions. His book offers us a rare glimpse into a world that, despite its apparent simplicity, has much to teach us - about community and faith, about patience and change, about how to find contentment in our lives.
