When Dennis Okholm began exploring the roots of contemporary Benedictine monasticism, he quickly found that St. Benedict has as much to offer Protestants as he does Roman Catholics. In Monk Habits for Everyday People, Okholm--a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist--uses his profound experience with Benedictine spirituality to show how it can enrich the lives and prayer practices of Protestants.

User reviewsYou'll Think About This Book Everyday 
By Alice Foster, Murfreesburo,TN This book is the best introduction to Benedictine spirituality I’ve come across. Dennis Okholm has put together a wonderful guide which shows how the practices of Monks can be used in our everyday lives. Monk Habits for Everyday People: Benedictine Spirituality for Protestants covers everything from religious obedience, spiritual stability, to maintaining one’s own humility. This book really reaches out to Catholics and Protestants, urging both sects of Christianity to embrace aspects of each other’s religions. Religious tolerance is an important thing this day in age and this book has helped me see how true spirituality is an everyday challenge.
