Enter a timeless world, a forbidden city, an ideal society. For a year, we will follow the Benedictines of Fontgombault Abbey in France, from the farm to the refectory, from art workshops to the classrooms, from the infirmary to the hotel, from the printing press to the library, from the church to the cloister, from the sacristy to the scriptorium.
This book is an invitation to joy, an invitation to discover the little-known daily lives of monks to help us understand the peace that dwells within them. Their confined existence, which one might imagine to be monotonous, is in reality extraordinarily rich.
Transported to Fontgombault by the evocative and delicate writings of author Nicolas Diat, we will no longer be quite the same when we close this book, and exit the doors of the abbey.

Saint Dominic's Way of Life: A Path to Knowing and Loving God
Few Catholics today know much about Saint Dominic, who died eight hundred years ago in 1221. Unlike Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Ávila, or Ignatius of Loyola, Dominic did not leave a deposit of writings to be examined and built upon. Yet this medieval Spaniard still has much to teach us today, and we see this in the way of life he left to the Church.
