"Christian de Chergé took seriously his duty as abbot to provide his brother monks with substantial input on a wide variety of topics. His notes from hundreds of informal teachings in chapter are a window into his mind and heart. The selection of talks presented and translated here give us privileged access to the reflections that nourished Christian and his brothers in the years leading up to their final self-offering."Fr. Elias Dietz, Abbey of Gethsemani
