Cave Refectory Road by Ian Adams
New monastic communities are emerging here and in the US, many as Fresh Expressions initiatives.This is a basic introduction and guide to today's new monasticism by one of its leading exponents.
'This is a very gentle, ruminative approach to the subject - not so much a guide book or rule book, but a poetry book'
'Ian Adams' excellent book takes three elements of the historic monastic tradition and recasts them for the benefit both of individuals seeking a deeper walk with God and for the many emerging new monastic communities in the UK and beyond ... This is an easy book to read, and at 99 pages not a long one ... Read chapter by chapter it would provide excellent material for a series of Third Order small group meetings.' -- David Walker, Bishop of Dudley
"Adams marries expertise with theology with ease...It would easily suit those who know nothing of the subject, even of the Christian faith...Adams's honest insights and lyrical sensitivity may well manage to encourage the world-weary, calm down frantic clerics and even engage those who presume that spirituality signifies scented candles and sounds of whale cries." -- Jennie Hogan * Church Times *
