Acclaimed as a significant treasury of uniquely inclusive monastic history, this fast-paced book surveys a vast landscape of saints, scholars, mystics, and reformers whose impact continues to shape worldwide Christianity and monastic life. The book engages readers with a comprehensive description of the history of Benedictine monasticism from the earliest beginnings to challenges facing the present day. The story unfolds as a sweeping panorama of intrigue, controversy, and commitment across the fifteen-century development of both men's and women's communities. The chronicle's broad lens provides an inspiring vision of endurance as monks and nuns established their lasting, global presence through fifteen centuries of growth and adaptation. Often beset by overwhelming challenges from both within and outside its walls, Benedictine monasticism has shone with human magnificence at times but has been dimmed by the follies of human frailty at others. Reform movements, congregations, and spiritualities have often reshaped Benedictine life, countering seasons of pervasive decline through centuries of political instability, wars, religious censure, suppression, dissolution and societal turmoil. Filled with sometimes surprising turns of events, this lively history offers insight not only into the past, but also into how to approach the emerging future. Fifteen centuries of change, adaptation, decline, restoration, and renewal continue to disclose the extraordinary resilience of the simple but life-encompassing Rule of Benedict that unites people across the globe. This book tells the fascinating-and often surprising-story of both the noteworthy and notorious men, women, and movements that have impacted Benedictine monasticism from its origin to the 21st century. Laura Swan, O.S.B., commends the book in her Foreword to the Revised Edition: "Benedictine Men and Women of Courage: Roots and History provides an excellent resource for those beginning their journey with this ancient tradition - those in formation as oblates, 'new monastics, ' and traditional monastics. Seekers simply interested in some aspect of Benedictine history will find this book a useful resource."

Good quality but tight on toes
Size: 6-10, Color: White/Assorted
These are great socks that stay in place, but they scrunch my toes together like crazy. My feet are normal width. When I first started wearing them I noticed my feet would ache after an hour or two.

My New Favorite Socks
Size: 6-10, Color: Halo Gray/Assorted
These have quickly become mine and my mom's favorite socks. We wear them with tennis shoes, Hey Dudes, and more. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable, they do not budge/fall in my shoe, and are extremely well made. I have become so attached to these socks, that I no longer want any other brand.

The perfect sock!
Size: 6-10, Color: Halo Gray/Assorted
The only socks that I can wear with my hey dudes. They stay on my ankles and never slid down into the shoe. I will forever order these as long as they are available. They are comfy too!

Good option, especially in warmer weather
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
High quality socks and very durable. Nice touch adding the grip on the back of the ankle so the sock stays up. Size is a true fit to the size of your foot as well.
