Acclaimed as a significant treasury of uniquely inclusive monastic history, this fast-paced book surveys a vast landscape of saints, scholars, mystics, and reformers whose impact continues to shape worldwide Christianity and monastic life. The book engages readers with a comprehensive description of the history of Benedictine monasticism from the earliest beginnings to challenges facing the present day. The story unfolds as a sweeping panorama of intrigue, controversy, and commitment across the fifteen-century development of both men's and women's communities. The chronicle's broad lens provides an inspiring vision of endurance as monks and nuns established their lasting, global presence through fifteen centuries of growth and adaptation. Often beset by overwhelming challenges from both within and outside its walls, Benedictine monasticism has shone with human magnificence at times but has been dimmed by the follies of human frailty at others. Reform movements, congregations, and spiritualities have often reshaped Benedictine life, countering seasons of pervasive decline through centuries of political instability, wars, religious censure, suppression, dissolution and societal turmoil. Filled with sometimes surprising turns of events, this lively history offers insight not only into the past, but also into how to approach the emerging future. Fifteen centuries of change, adaptation, decline, restoration, and renewal continue to disclose the extraordinary resilience of the simple but life-encompassing Rule of Benedict that unites people across the globe. This book tells the fascinating-and often surprising-story of both the noteworthy and notorious men, women, and movements that have impacted Benedictine monasticism from its origin to the 21st century. Laura Swan, O.S.B., commends the book in her Foreword to the Revised Edition: "Benedictine Men and Women of Courage: Roots and History provides an excellent resource for those beginning their journey with this ancient tradition - those in formation as oblates, 'new monastics, ' and traditional monastics. Seekers simply interested in some aspect of Benedictine history will find this book a useful resource."

Works great, TSA compliant!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 100
I LOVE spf 100, I know people like to say anything above 30 or whatever is pointless but let me say, when I use spf 100 I don't tan at all (and I DON'T want to tan, I'm Asian and the kind of person who walks outside for 5 minutes and I'm visibly slightly darker) and my husband is white and burns if out in the sun too much but this stuff not only prevented burn but I think also prevented tan for him too 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think these bottles are also awesome to be able to fly with too, we bought a few for our Punta Cana trip and we didn't tan or burn, and we only used a little over one bottle for 5 days (we only wore when we'd be out in direct sun a few hours each day, and my outfits didn't show a LOT of skin so less surface area). I hope this company continues selling this product, it'll always be my go to for travel sun screen now :)

Feels great on skin, but wish it was a larger amount.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 100
I haven’t tried this in the sun yet, so I can’t attest to how it works as intended, but so far I have tried it on my skin to see if it is as thick and white as others. It goes on very easy and smooth. I do not see a noticeable white cast and it soaks into the skin quickly. I am hoping it works well in the sun because I will repurchase. I just wish it was a larger amount.
