Saint Benedict on the Freeway: A Rule of Life for the 21st Century (Book)
Corinne Ware, Author.  Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 2001.

Can we live a hectic life in the 21st century and still know the places, times, and ways God speaks? Corinne Ware draws on various faith traditions to explore how we might live daily life with a more profound and ongoing awareness of God's presence.

This book offers suggestions for flexibly adapting the monastic hours of prayer to modern life. Anchors in faith and time—such as church, groups, the language of Scripture, special objects, and being in the present—are concisely and briefly presented as ways to be connected to and reminded of one's spiritual life. The reader is encouraged to explore various methods of prayer: written, extemporaneous, journaling, psalms, imagery, centering, lectio divina, and more. A brief study guide for each of the six chapters is included.

Saint Benedict on the Freeway could be used by individuals seeking time-tested and adaptable ideas to deepen their spiritual life. It could also benefit study groups, who might build on the book's ideas and encourage one another to explore the practices presented.
