- Summary:
- The third book in Vest's series on Benedictine spirituality for people living in the world today, Desiring Life explores issues of relationship, particularly our relationship to the world, to ourselves, and to each other. What is the "good life" we seek? How can we learn to live with integrity and passion, despite the growing gap between public ethics and narrow self-interest? How can we live fully and well? Vest addresses these questions and more through passages from Benedict's Rule.
