Title: Contemporary view of Trappist monastic life.
Review: This is an excellent introduction into the Catholic monastic tradition. If anyone is interested in knowing more about the Cisterican type of monasticism and fundamental spiritual principles, this is the book. It reads easily and gives a good presentation of this once very mysterious type of monastic community. Referring to it time and time again, it provides glimpses into contemporary Trappist life and experiences but also provides key if not very basic, yet deep, concepts of the spiritual life. This book can be a springboard going to other reading on monastic values and the Trappist tradition. Highly recommended. I would accompany this book with a recent presentation by Michael Downey called Trappist.
