Benedict & the Rule is a gorgeously illustrated Catholic children’s book by Katie Warner that introduces young readers to the life and remarkable legacy of one of history’s most well-known and loved saints, Saint Benedict.
The book explores Saint Benedict’s miracles and impact, along with his famous “little rule for beginners,” known today as the Rule of Saint Benedict. Followed by monasteries and convents throughout the world, this Rule continues to be surprisingly impactful for children and families today.
Benedict & the Rule invites children to consider what it might mean to have their own little Rule of Life, inspired by Saint Benedict. Through this gentle spiritual exercise, young readers are guided toward faith-filled habits that can be practiced within everyday family life.
Written to inspire both children and adults, this book encourages readers to adopt Saint Benedict as a spiritual father and to appreciate the enduring wisdom of his Rule. Benedict & the Rule is especially well suited for children ages 3 and up and for use in homes, classrooms, and faith-based settings.
