Benedictine spirituality is simple and down to earth. Not only does the Benedictine lifestyle fit well within the walls of the monastery, its interpretation of life is also suitable to other forms of society. In The Rule of Benedict for Beginners, Wil Derkse reveals how elements from Benedictine spirituality and the Benedictine lifestyle may be fruitful outside the monastery to strengthen the quality of societal living and working.

The Rule of Benedict for Beginners is a useful source of life orientation and lifestyle for those interested in living by the Rule. It applies the monastic vows to life within organizations and examines the valuable elements of Benedictine leadership and Benedictine time management.

Chapter one sketches Derkse's own acquaintance with the Benedictine lifestyle. Chapter two examines the basic patterns of Benedictine spirituality in order to translate these patterns into nonmonastic contexts. Inspired leadership, listening decision-making, fruitfully prospering human resources, and sensible time management are themes in the remaining chapters.

Chapters in Part I: A First Acquaintance with Benedictine Spirituality are "A lesson from the Imagery of Hildegard's Abbey in Eibingen," "What I Learned Through My Own Acquaintance with Benedictine Life," and "Growing Toward the Oblature." Chapters in Part II: Basic Patterns of Benedictine Spirituality and First Translation to Nonmonastic Contexts are "The Benedictine Way of Life: Listening Attentively to Gain Results," "The Benedictine Vows: Directed Toward Growth and Liberation," and "Additional Aspects of the Benedictine Art of Listening." Chapters in Part III: Benedictine Leadership: Stimulating People Toward Growth are "Leadership Demands a Special Talent for Listening," "The Person of the Abbot," and "The Person of the Cellarer: 'A Man For all Seasons.'" Chapters in Part IV: Benedictine Time Management: "A Full Agenda, But Never Busy," "Living a Wholesome Rhythm," and "'Bearing Fruit in Season.'"

Wil Derkse is an oblate of the Benedictine St. Willibrord's Abbey in Doetinchem, the Netherlands. He occupies the Andreas van Melsen Chair in Science, Society and Worldviews at the Catholic University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

Good moisturizer, not too oily.
I often times use this in the morning before starting my day and it tends to really keep it moisturized for at least 4-5 hours. This is someone who has really dry skin and it constantly always having to remoisturize throughout the day. Nonetheless, I would still keep up water intake and try not to touch your face too much after applying. Quality is great and it has a natural smell that is not overpowering. Would def recommend.

Soothing
Feels good on, no major difference on the dry/flaky skin above eyelid, so time to see a dermatologist.

So far so good
I’ve been using the Eczema Honey Nourishing Face Serum, and overall I like it. It feels rich and soothing without irritating my sensitive skin. I’ve definitely noticed my face feels more hydrated and calm — but it’s still early to tell if it’s reducing eczema flare‑ups long-term.

Fast results for a very reasonable price.
I saw very fast results on the sun damaged skin on the tops of my thighs (I’m 62 and scorched myself at 16-17). Softer smoother skin on the backs of my arms and my crepey forearms.
