Living Well - Finding A 'Rule Of Life' To Revitalise And Sustain Us

Whatever situation we find ourselves in, this down-to-earth book will help restore a sense of puropse. Alan Hargrave draws upon 'Rules of Life', from Benedict to Iona, to enable us to think seriously about the pattern of our living. Through absorbing stories, honest and often very funny accounts of his own personal struggles, and the provision of many useful exercises, he aims to help us find our own 'Rule of Life' - one that will not only sustain us, but allow the light that may have gone out of our eyes to shine once more! And as the energy we need to look beyond ourselves returns, so we will discover new and creative ways to express the love of God to our wonderful, needy world.
