Citadel of God: A Novel about Saint Benedict by Louis de Wohl
5.0
“He passed a weary hand over his forehead. ‘I am leaving Rome,’ he said.
‘What? You are not giving up your studies?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘But...why?’
‘There must be a shorter way and a more direct one.’
‘Where to?’
‘To God.’”
Captivating from page one, Louis de Wohl knows how to bring the Saints to life. This was a wonderful read about St. Benedict and what the state of the world was when he started his monasteries. As many have suggested, we are in a similar state today and are in need of a new St. Benedict.
