Inspired by the religious life of St. Benedict, richly illustrated, and drawing upon his work with students, MacDonald adapts eight spiritual disciplines for emerging young adults. Written for those who work with emerging adults--college and university chaplains, campus ministers, student leaders, pastors, para-church professionals, and spiritual directors, this practical guide provides a new framework and gives concrete examples of how spiritual disciplines can be incorporated into different ministry settings.

The book includes these spiritual disciplines:

• Communal Prayer
• Lectio Divina
• Contemplative Prayer
• Service
• Spiritual Direction
• Pilgrimage
• Intentional Community
• Hospitality
